[QUOTE="jabroni619, post: 1795077, member: 24059"] No, a "CAI" won't help keep your engine cool during towing. Every vehicle I've seen in the last 15 years already has a CAI from the factory. An aftermarket intercooler will help reduce intake charge temps but that rarely, if ever, translates to lower engine temps. In other words, coolant, tranny, oil temps, which are what you actually need to keep an eye on while towing, won't benefit. In fact, in more extreme situations, it can increase temperatures of those fluids since the heat exchanger sits right in front of the radiator vs under it with the factory design. A tune will aid with power but this also comes at cost of increasing operating temperatures, not reducing them. A larger radiator and auxiliary transmission cooler well help keep those vital fluids from cooking. Your squat should be much improved once you get the WD hitch installed. [/QUOTE]
