E4Od trans temp?

I recently installed a ISSPRO trans temp gauge. On a trip to San Diego the trans temp would run at ~190 degrees on the freeway. Around town it stays around 160-170. Is the 190 highway temp normal? There was no weight in truck. I'm really concerned about these temps. because I'm gonna be towing a 10k 5er to Texas/Okla next month if I can get my Autolite together. Am I gonna have to spring for a trans cooler fan? The lines go thru the bottom of rad then to an aftermarket trans cooler rated for 24k. Do I need more coolers?

Seems a bit high to what I was seeing - not much mind you - maybe 25°. How old fluid? Where you taking reading?

Travis, the temp sender is in the port on drivers side just in front of MLPS. The fluid isn't old, just from Dec. 2004 rebuild. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]Baja

Re: E4Od trans temp?

I just did a complete flush &amp; fill today. Noticed that on the way home my digital gauge was reading 165 F. It was higher this morning on the way to the tranny shop.
