Overheating
The trucks been running hot since I got in some water. Did a little mud runnin and since the truck is running hott. Today just driving about 2.5 miles my tranny got up to 210. The fluid is good not burnt or anything. The cooling fan is constantly running too. Any suggestions on what it could be. I tried pressure washing the radiator from the engine side i cleaned all the mud off the tranny and the tranny cooler.

If the belt tensioner won't "budge" it's not keeping the belt tight.This leads to slippage.At higher rpm the engine produces more heat.If the pump isn't turning fast enough the coolant gets too hot when it reaches the radiator.Hotter coolant in the radiator raises the temp in the tranny lines running through it.Don't the tranny lines run through the radiator first and then to the auxilary cooler?

It's mounted with one bolt to the block.Advance Auto has them for about $35 here.The pulley is bolted to the tensioner arm which is bolted to the block.
You might try first removing the tensioner then spray PB Blaster into the back side .Then remount it to the block (notice the locating pin on the back of the tensioner) put a wrench on the pulley bolt and try to carefully work it loose.
Note the travel of the arm is limited to about 40 degrees maybe less , so don't try to force it past the stops.
