Shogun di-d 3.2 overheating when towing

Could be a few things - thermostat stuck shut?
Hole in radiator? cap not sealing? Blockage in block/hoses?
Water pump? faulty water temp gauge? check pressure of system by doing a pressure test and check for any leakage

Possible leaking head gasket, this will cause bubbles. Have pressure check done.

where is it located....thermostat

Hi Big Mike, Have you checked the timing? If you have a petrol engine it could be ignition or valve timing which has gone out. A stretched chain could do it. Like wise for diesel. If the pump has been ******** too much it will heat more at higher speeds. The overheating can also be caused by a cracked cylinder head. The symptoms are those which you've described! Regards John

your problem is discussed on this link,, scroll down to the 2 and 3 wire hook up systems, and I'm sure the info you need is there , if you have any questions just reply to this feed , http://www.accessconnect.com/trailer_wiring_diagram.htm

my camaro did the same thing and i dont no what to do

Most likely the brown wire from the trailer connector is connected to a constant battery voltage source, and it should be connected to the vehicle running light circuit, however someone might have wired the trailer connector up that way on purpose so that the trailer does not draw power from the vehicle running lights and possibly damage the vehicle running light circuit. (Dodge/Chrysler vehicles do have delicate lighting systems) Here are some images to help assist you, and the 4 way connector is the same as the 5 way connector just without the blue wire for the trailer brakes.

Seeing as it seems you do not have any overheating problem other than when you are towing I believe that you need to make sure that when towing you do not have the transmission in overdrive unless going downhill. This is the #1 reason for transmissions failure while towing. Trans overheat = engine overheat
Hope this helps.

Most cars are about 1/2 ton capacity(1000 pounds) Towing a small trailer should be fine as long as the weight at the hitch ball is less than 200 pounds. Load the trailer so the most of the weight is on the trailer not your car.Remember to keep the tire pressure correct on the trailer and your car and give yourself plenty of stopping space as the car will respond slower with the extra weight. Also try to take off kind of slow and easy so you dont over work your cars transmission. An add on type auxillery transmission cooler is recommended.
I hope this info helps you.

Did you ever sort this ? I've a similar overheating issue and just wondered ? Thanks ...
