driving lights for tradesman

[CAROLINA CUMMINS]

I have a 22" Light bar between the tow hooks. Haven't noticed any appreciable increase in trans temps. Only use it on backroads/offroad.

Seems to me that should be a source of air for the intercooler???

 

[CAROLINA CUMMINS]

Looks like it's right in middle. Main airflow for intercooler comes from black airdam under bumper. I keep an eye on my temps, not horribly worried about it.

Your call but the holes are there for a reason. Light to moderate towing I am sure it's no biggie. I sure would not do it towing 36k combined.

Sure, I agree most of my towing is light compared to some of y'all. I had camper loaded down, fresh water tank full, bikes, kayaks, generator, gas, and everything else for 2 adults and 2 kids at beach for a week with limited facilities and only grossed 17k which I think will be my heaviest.

Its easily removable if I start having issues or towing heavier. They also make a mount for a longer light bar that replaces tow hooks. Not sure I'd go that route even with no towing

The cooling system is so much oversized, I don't see a problem there. If it would be one would recognize it by the Fan more in use.

It's made to go through Death Valley in Summer at full GCW - without overheating.

I just don't want to give FCA a reason to deny warranty
