TFT and EOT Difference help
I don't know if there's something wrong here or what everyone else's temps look like, but my TFT and EOT are really far apart when coasting on the highway, almost 30° difference. Is this normal or am I running too hot. I've read that both temps should be close but I'm far from that. I took a screenshot today at highway speeds between 60-65mph, not hauling, normal crusing. My oil level is on point, am I worrying too much? It was in the 60s today, brisk weather. 02 f250, 6637, 5" straight pipe, dp tuner, beefed trans billet torque with shift kit. Thanks.

This was on a 35 min drive back from work on the highway, if I drive 70-80 mph I'll get the trans up to the 165-170° range easy. My EOT I got close to 190° by the time I got home with the city/hwy mix driving. Im trying to look for where I read it was supposed to be close, it was on this site as a matter of fact. I was just worried that my EOT was alot higher then my TFT at the given time. My thoughts were I may have a clogged line somewhere.

I think it's like Pirsch Fire Wagon says - some confusion with ECT vs TFT. Automatics don't have the ECT on the OBDII port, so the whole thing was an exercise of clarification.
Those numbers run very close to what I run when it's not over 80 degrees outside.
Torque Converter slip - this will get a bit technical, but is will alleviate some fears:
My formula in Torque Pro helps to make the Torque Converter Slip read close to AE, FORScan, or other fixed-setting OBDII gauges. The formula is ((A*256)+B)/4.

Torque Converter slip - this will get a bit technical, but is will alleviate some fears:
- Torque Converter slip is measured by the difference between the Output Speed Sensor (OSS) and the Turbine Speed Sensor (TSS).
- The sampling of each is not instantaneous - they are sampled at different times.
- Any fluctuation in speed that occurs between one sample and the next can show up as a small slip.
- A fast-sampling OBDII gauge will show different results than a slow-sampling OBDII gauge.

TC slip. Yes it should be 0 while locked. Tugly once said something about this. I'll quote as good as I can.... TC slip with low numbers, let's say 0-25 or so is the same as "white noise" and is nothing to worry about. Once you start seeing in the 100s then you have an issue.
I personally had a converter go out without sounding like there was marbles in it. My rpm slippage would shoot well over 1000 rpm and the truck would down shift to 3rd gear on the slightest hills cruising down the expressway

I consider anything under 15 RPM noise. Between 15 and 20 RPM is cause to watch carefully, over 20 RPM is where I think you should find out what's wrong.
