then my trans never go much more than 150 F when
After rethinking this issue, I don't see any problem running your fluid at 150*F, IF, your transmission is operating properly, IE shifting into overdrive, and torque converter is locking up.

The only downside I see is if you make a lot of short trips where the fluid would not get hot enough, long enough to burn off accumulated condensation.

I would block the thermostat on the Trans. cooler open, and if you are really worried about it block part of the Trans. cooler, with a piece of cardboard, in the Winter to let the fluid get hotter.

maybe the best idea so far..
I have found this table in the manual telling me that "normal" or best temperature is 40 - 240 F.
the table say normal operation all the way up to 240 F... I guess that's why we use ATF +4 oil..

I will probably block that sensor anyway. cause then normal driving give me about 60-160 F.
and I wont worry about overheating when towing....

Buggsy, the LPG kit is popular here in europe. there is a LPG-ecu that "cut" the power to gas injectors and power LPG/prophane injectors. then the lpg-ecu use the timing on the gas injectors to adjust LPG-injectors. this work werry vell. shifting from gas to LPG when driving and I almost don't feel a thig on the car.

this tell you more about it.
Thanks for the link. I don't want to hijack your thread. It's not very common in the US except on fleet vehicles. I haven't heard of fuel injected pickups running on propane. Unfortunately, it doesn't look cost effective. Right now, propane + road tax is only $1 less a gallon than gasoline.

I'm a little interested, saving $30.00 per fill up, ($1500.00 a year), and something like 105-110 octane. Not to mention how much cleaner LP runs. Maybe
