[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 597622, member: 3432"] Yea, the pan is where most temp guage install instructions say, but I reaaaaaaaaaaally don't wanna drop the pan/loose the fluid to do that. Was doing some Googe-ing and some say that when the trans is NOT in 1st gear, the first gear servo/actuator gets no circulation. Might explain why my temps were so high since most of my riding was in 2nd/3rd? I did use 1st gear some, but it was for semi-short traveling in 2hi. I don't recall the temp dropping down much except for when I was going downhill for an extended time in said gear. I attributed the temp drop to "non use". But....it's the internet and I can't tell an expert from billy bob bolt stripper. ****sigh**** Just for shits and giggles, I monitored the trans temp on my tow rig 2008 5.3 1500 on the tow home. I leave the trans in 3rd gear and haul ass with it wherever I go......it never saw above 190F until I'd get to the one nut kicker hill before my house. It's a good incline with a stop light at the bottom. I keep it in 2nd and will sometimes even shift DOWN to 1st(it's a brutal hill for the 5.3 at like 30-35mph). At the top of this hill, I saw 205 on the trans temp gauge. I figured if that made that hit 205, then that was about as hot as it's gonna get. Kinda worries on me on the 250 my 727 saw all day.
