Hey MonteC.
I did changed my 46RE with another 46RE on my 1999 Dodge Ram Sport
but now I got both Transmission Temp light and the OD off lights on
it runs, but only 3 speed and it surges while shifting.
I got 30 days of warranty in-case it messes up
but how can I fix those problems?

So my transmission guy saying the optimum temp is 176º was right on the money then.
Mine hangs around 160º-170º when hot at idle with just a stacked plate style cooler like a b&m.
So was my guy right when he said that the stock coolers have a coating on the inside that breaks up over time and clogs up the works in the transmission? That is why he bypassed it all together and used just this cooler.

I put a temp gauge on mine yesterday, today it was running between 110-130F driving around town. Air temp is about 50F. The hottest it got was about 150F going uphill at about 30MPH, at 55MPH on flat ground it got down to 100F. Is this to cool? My gauge is on the cooler feed line at the end of the metal line under the hood. The radiator cooler is disconnected and the aux cooler appears to be factory.

The governor pressure sensor or transducer needs to be matched to the computer. The transducer not only senses governor pressure but has a temp sensor also. The different sensors are not compatible to different computers.
A 96-99 should have the round metal sensor, 00/01 should have the black plastic sensor.
