WE RECENTLY CHANGE THE POWER TRAIN (TRANSMISSION) 2014 AFTER THREE YEARS WE ARE HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. AFTER EVERY HOUR ON THE ROAD WE HAVE TO STOP AND LET IT REST FOR A WHILE BECAUSE IT HEATS UP PRETTY QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY IN HIGHWAYS.

TRANSMISSION/ENGINE MAKES A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING ABOVE 2000 RPMS CURRENTLY. IT STARTED OUT ONLY DOING IT WHEN GOING UP HILL AT HIGHER RPMS BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
