I have an 06 Libby Limited. 3.7L auto. I had a new rad installed last year so it had new coolant done at the same time. Last Friday I had to go pick up some items for work so I rented a 6x12 enclosed Uhaul trailer and set off the the hour 20 min drive. About 45 minutes into my drive I notice the heat gauge creeping over the half way point. It's 30degrees Celsius outside. I'm running the ac to keep myself cool so I drop the windows and shut the an off figuring the Heep isn't liking the load and the ac. The heat gauge creeps back to a normal position. All is grand. About 20 min later the heat gauge is fine but then there is a big yellow TRAN TEMP light come on. Oh ****, this can't be good. I pull over and let her cool in the shade of a tree for 20 min or so. All is grand once again. Now today, 5 days later I'm driving in stop and go traffic and after about 25min I notice the heat gauge crawling up again. No trailer this time and it's 32degrees Celsius out. I once again shut off the ac and heat gauge goes down. Once I was back on the highway at 100km/hr I turn on the ac and the heat gauge is fine. I've never had any issues with this happening before and am kinda at a loss of what's going on. Does my Heep just not like the sun gods??? Help/ideas?
