    So, intake temps were waay too high and I built a cool box. Helps tremendously! Tranny is acting odd, not downshifting correctly and after searching looks like the 1st and 2nd shift solenoids are going bad.
    RockAuto to the rescue...

    Forgot to update this...it was not solenoid related. Trans was clean, everything ohm'd out good, it was the dang transmission plug had come unplugged!
    So far, she is running perfect, temperatures are good. Only item left is to connect the cruise, just got to find a Tundra cruise ecu.

    No temp issues towing, I do experience temp creep in heavy extended stop and go traffic on 95+ days with a/c on. I put a heater core radiator with a fan in the front tire well that helps tremendously.
