Man to be honest now I'm wondering how accurate this is. Wayne told me the servo port wasn't as accurate as the pan but I didn't think it would be much off. Anyway riding around town I was around 150 after 10 minutes of driving or so. It might have been just a tad above that but right around 150.

Now today it was around 125 which was a few miles of in traffic and then interstate for a while after that then some backroads. I was moving around 55-70 most of the time though and it was in the 40's or low 50's today instead of like the other day when it was fairly hot.

I'm not sure if it's reading low or if it was around 125 since it was cold. Tonight it went down even lower coming down the interstate running 65 or so. Got right above 100 but in town for the few miles I went it went up to around 125 then.

I do have a pretty big B&M transmission cooler. Does this sound about right being that it's fairly cold outside or does it sound way low?

in summer mine ran at 150-180 with temps in the 90s , tow or steep hill climbs it got as hot as 210 , but my trans cooler was rated at 18,000 GGW . so what you are seeing would be normal , sliver will give some #s .... i had a thread on what temp people are running with the trans temp.

I posted my temps in one of the 2 or 3 thread threads you have about this topic. As I stated, the pan will be even cooler then the servo port. I know because I see it every day in my truck since I check temps in both locations. Those are about the same temps I see, and I have a 32,000 gvw rated cooler, and a 2 quart extra capacity aluminum pan. On cold days here in Colorado, I can drive for 10-15 minutes before I see warming temps on the gauge. Escpecially when it is very cold.
