I don't know if retorquing the head gasket would do any good, but it's free and relatively easy to do.

What year is your truck? Good chance that cool of a thermostat will trip the CEL (engine too cold too long.). Might wanna check the check valve on the trans cooler line to the bottom fitting of the radiator. They are known to plug up, and bake the trans.

already took it out Heyyou, put about 7 miles on the tranny after rebuild, all new clutches bearings shims for end play about .030 end play and a s&k shift kit set up for plowing and towing trans is solid shifts up and down good, very good just on my test drive i really got into it and next thing you no oil pressure dropping off and trans temp is on while temp gauge was about 230 so i'm sick of playing games going with a 160 hope it doesn't trip the cel that will suck considering i'm up for inspection this month. something might be plugged or have a air lock will see if 160 doesn't change things but atleast this will give me a good idea whats up with it
