I just recently (last month) installed a Yank TT3000 and wanted to monitor my trans temp. I bought a set of Escalade gauges with the trans temp gauge. The thing is, It just BARELY moves off the 100 degree mark, maybe 110 or 115 at tops. I know it is cold here in Maryland (30's and 40's at best) right now but I kinda thought it would be closer to the 150 mark???? Does this sound right, or could my gauge be off. They are factory gauges and I bought them new, so it isn't like they are some off the wall junk. Any help???? Thanks

 

Wow... that is cold... mine was reading 19X during the hot summer months here in TX.

 

Do you have a factory cooler or aftermarket cooler on there?

 

It has the towing package which includes the factory cooler. It still sounds low to me tho. What do you think???

 

I think it might be a little low. I'd rather see it around 125-130 at the lowest.

 

Mine normally runs around the 150 mark but when it is cool out I can see it running cooler. Especially if I am on the highway with some good airflow on the B&M. Although on a cold morning (by cold I mean low 40, I am in south MS) it will take a good while to get up to 150.

 

If it is that cold there, I would not worry too much about it.....


When the summer rolls around then it will move. I do not see more than 150 on mine with the aftermarket cooler.

 

The temp sounds a little cold, but I do notice mine dropping a bit low when the outside temp is nice and cold here. It usually stays right at the first big mark (150-160?) when it's warm out. I haven't ran it in the summer yet, but the way the weather is here in Texas I can get a good clue as to where it's going to be at when it's hot out. I have just the factory tranny cooler also. You might be able to get the dealership to check and see if the gauge is accurate or not.

 

hey,,,,,,,,just for reference,,,,,,,my work truck is a 04 2500 6 litre auto,,,,,,in the hd series of trucks they come with a trans gauge that works,,,,and it reads bout 155 with 1200 pounds of tools in the back,,,,,,,so i would guees,,,,,,,use a cooler till you get roughly the same temp,

 

I'm not gonna sweat it too much right now. I'm sure when summer rolls around it will also be up in the 150 range. Right now, after it warms up, it gets up to like 115 or 120. But it sure has been cold out here lately. Thanks.
