Extreme Veteran Posts: 561 Location: somewhere in the south	I have had my F250 for several years and always kept up the maintenance pretty regularly but now need some advice! I have noticed that when I'm hauling I hear the transmission cooler alot more. I just recently had a transmission flush done and they said all was good but yesterday I was hauling just the trailer (no horses, so not alot of weight) and while driving the transmission cooler was so loud I couldn't believe it! We did have the a/c on but I don't think that would affect anything..................any help would be greatly appreciated!! What could be wrong or does this sound normal? Help please!

Expert Posts: 1302 Location: California	I had a 2002 Frod F250 that did the exact same thing. I had the fan clutch, turbo, basically you name it I had it replaced. It still did it. No mechanic ever understood it or even cared IMO. I took it to probably 10 mechanics. It never effected the vehicle but it sure was annoying. Recently by bosses F350 started doing it too. I honestly think it is just a Ford thing at this point. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
