An upgraded pan would be beneficial in the cooling it provides, and you can get several more quarts in there. I'd personally do that.
How do you know your guage isn't accurate?
How do you know your guage isn't accurate?
???? Try structuring a few seperate sentences there broThe reason i say its not accurate is becasue i can run the truck for like 20 min and still wont raise the needle....long trips ive took it would evently start to work....and for the test port i know is line pressure just whats the difference between a plug in there or sensor.. with doing that i was going to read case temp rather than fluid temp...figured if case gets hot things are frying....
Sounds normal, you're in Michigan and it's still pretty cold there. If you don't do a lot of stop-and-start driving it takes awhile for the trans to heat up. I have my sender in the test port and it works fine like that. I also have a scan gauge that reads trans temp from the PCM and it's pretty damn close, I'd say within 5-10*.The reason i say its not accurate is becasue i can run the truck for like 20 min and still wont raise the needle....long trips ive took it would evently start to work....and for the test port i know is line pressure just whats the difference between a plug in there or sensor.. with doing that i was going to read case temp rather than fluid temp...figured if case gets hot things are frying....
sorry for jacking your thread but how does your truck drive with a 3600 stall silvermodo? is it your DD? ive heard even a 3200 stall will be very annoying for a DD...even with a 3600 stall and a pretty decent amount oh hp, mine doesnt get above 130 on the Hwy... yours sounds normal to me. the test port is plenty accurate
