Towing my 5th wheel from Casa Grande, AZ to St. David today. It is a slight grade all of the way and there was a headwind. About half way here my Banks PDI sounded a warning. No engine light lit on dash. For those who may not be familure with the Banks equipment, it sounds a warning at a lower threshold than the obdll does. So I am assuming that the warning was telling me that something was getting ready to light the engine light. All of my guages read normal, maybe 5 degrees high on water temp is all. After a couple of minutes, the warning light went out and didn't come on again. After I got parked I checked the code and found the P0483 fan speed code.
Re-wind 6 wks or so ago. I was pulling a really steep hill a couple of miles long. As I neared the top my Banks pda gave me a hot trans warning (2nd gear pull). The PDA showed the trans temp at 235. As I understand it the obdll lights the light at 250? I have never seen the trans go to 235 before or since. After this happened I tried to remember if I heard the fan come on while pulling that hill or not and I can't say that I heard it. I have paid attention to it since and I have heard it come on but it doesn't really seem to roar like it has in the past.
Does it have a low and high speed? Could it be that the low works and the high doesn't? Is the fan controled by relays? Are there more than one? Where are they and how do I test them?
This is an '06 Dodge, 5.9 with an re48 automatic trans. Appreciate any help on this, Thanks.
