Overheating on climbs

[NWJeeper]

They must have fixed that on later chassis as we have an '09 GT on an '08 chassis and have been to AZ and back towing a heavy toad with high temps and neither the coolant temp or the transmission temp has ever gone above 1/2 way.

I have the same 2006 Chassis on a 2007 Georgetown 370. By chance do you know the number for the TSB?

Went on a short road trip with the motorhome, no problems with overheating, although I did have a problem with the jacks and slide outs. Thanks to the forum, I found the answer and fixed it myself. Someone asked about the Technical Service Bulletin, sorry for the late reply but I was away. It is TSB 06-21-15 for the coolant crossover pipe.

Final update on this old problem. We have driven from Montana, through Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and now in Arizona without any overheating problems, actually, without any problems at all (except for snow in north-west Montana). I hope any information I have left here will help someone else.

Following your travels, I was wondering if you drove the highway from Ouray Colorado to Durango, on the Million Dollar Highway? I haven't been that way for years, but do remember it as being hairy even in a car. Considering going that way next year, want to do some offroad riding around Silverton, but not sure if I really want to pull my rig up there.

I have driven all over Colorado from Silverton to Durango and back, the million dollar hwy and jeeped in Ouray. I would be afraid of trying to pull an RV through some of those roads.
