Intake temp sensor is located in the maf housing. It really needs a trans cooler as well. The damn intake tubing is metal, and even when the truck has been sitting, it is way to hot to touch. Would header wrap be beneficial to the intake or would that just hold the heat in it? Those reading are ridiculious. Ive got to do something to keep everything in check. Any opinions welcome.

Oh, and the pictures are from torquescan. Its an app for android. Pretty nifty.

Ive never seen temps that high even when im idling for 30-45 min with the AC wide open and was 103-104 my mirror showed.

Im in no big hurry to put my turbo on with this kinda heat. It was 85 this morning when i got up at 5am. Blah......

I have the same thing. You download the app on your phone called torque and I got the blue tooth device from ebay that connects to your phone. It's pretty neat and I paid like $15 for the blue tooth piece. The one I have is made by vgate scan. They say not all brands will work but mine does fine.

Ditto on the adaptor from eBay. Search elm327. It plugs into the obd port and transmits to your phone via Bluetooth.

This log was taken after about 10 minutes of 45mph driving then a stop at sonic for maybe 5 minutes. Ambient temperature sensor in the mirror has showed 110+ all day.

How did you get the screen shots? That's the one thing I can't figure out how to do on the phone.

What intake are you running? The IAT is believable if you've been idling stopped for 5 mins in 110F temp. Using the stock air box or one with a scoop into the wheel well should help a lot. If you have an open filter where the stock air box was you will see high temps unless you're moving.

I haven't actually did it but if you go to where it says realtime info click on that than go to menu hit more than it gives you the option for share screenshot and many ways to send it. This is on a HTC inspire phone but should all be the same with the app. Hope this helps.

When you are logging, hit the menu button. From there, hit the more option and go to share screenshot.
