maybe sand got in the fins of the cooler?
are you running the stock fan?
this is one of the reasons i got a superior products shift correction package.
it has a trans temp thermo by-pass valve that allows fluid to flow through the cooler at all times. i have monitored the trans temp a few times with my matco scanner, and the highest temp it got to was 160.
i guess the only other reason for it heating up quicker now is maybe something happened internally. possible torque converter clutch or worn bands/clutches.

damage internally is possible, hope not though
Im running the stock fan because i know an E-fan would net higher trans temps - something i dont want on a truck.
Right now i need to focus on getting the truck re-aligned so i can drive it more, then closely monitor temps.
Thanks guys.

If you haven't ran an efan on the truck, then you shouldn't make statements like that. My Ranger's transmission never got hotter with the efan, it actually cooled it better.
maybe yours but i know mine got hotter!
I know mine flows extremely well with the line pulled. I do have an upgraded valve body and that shift kit along with another shift kit. so i am sure that is why it all flows.

heres a shot of my truck after running for 10 minutes at idle and 87 degrees outside temp with the a/c on.
the top number is the trans temp before the cooler, the bottom number is after the fluid flows through the cooler.
i'll post the other pic of after a quick run down the highway with the air on. it only got to 181 degrees. stupid comcast.
