Over heated the trans again, should I flush it?

Both times I was driving on the beach. First time was my bad because I was in 4-hi and didnt air down the tires. The rpms where running high because I was trying to be a speed demon on sand. The 2nd time I aired down and was in 4-lo just like I have a thousand times before. That seemed to work until the other night. I was again trying to drive like I stole it in 4-lo but the rpms didnt go much past 2-2.5 and that was only for 20-30 seconds then I went back to normal driving across the sand. Tires are 32", I have a superchips tune with a cold air intake. I even changed the tune so the fan will turn on at a lwer temp but the temp gauge always reads tiny bit under half. My jeep is a 2010 2dr, TF Coil leveling kit w/ bilstein shocks. Stock bumpers and such. Not really that heavy.

You can email Superchips and have them enable the Tranny Temp PID.
Check out the thread on the Superchips Forum:

Be sure to change the hxxps:// to https://.
Your Jeep does need a certain update from the Dealership though for the Superchips Flashpaq to read it though. I don't remember what the software update needed from the Dealership is though. The thread should highlight it.

Be sure to check out the ORW Transmission Cooler.
It's a sweet setup, easy install. They have various sizes as well!
