Default trans temp?

What kind of trans temps (auto) are you guys, and gals, seeing? I've been runin around 176-180ish unloaded and around 200 pullin the dump trailer. I installed a DD mag-hytec pan yesterday and while it takes longer for the temps to get there they still are. Seems alittle warm to me. Am I worrying about nothing?

Thats about what my truck runs unloaded, don't pull a trailer but push snow in the winter and doesn't get much higher than 186.

as long as you're not seeing anything close to boiling ( 220F ) you're fine. If it's hot where you are... you can expect what you're seeing.

I just installed mag pans on the diffs and the tranny and installed the guages and my trans is about 160 unloaded but i also changed the fluid to royal purple and i think it dropped the temps. But its kinda spendy

I also changed both the Trans & Diff Cover and added Royal Purple. I had noticed a drop in Temp. with the stock diff. cover after adding Royal Purple. The covers also have to help.



Stock Vs. Mag Hytec

I've been close to 200 pulling the fifth wheel but not over that. Usually around 170 empthy. If you have tow/haul mode use it. It will drop your temps a good 15 degrees or so.

as for the tranny pan youre not worried about ripping that off? that would sit way too low on my 4x4.
