Its true in your case, but attach trailer (roughly 5,000 lbs) and drive trough that same traffic your talking about. Trans fluid gets very hot, on top of radiator working overtime also... + Condenser is super hot = so it all adds up, and since his truck is not new, I guess radiator can't keep up with cooling (and probably mechanical fan is not in great shape either). One of the main reasons I've upgraded my radiator. And since my upgrade, I have nothing but happy days when I tow.
