Trans Temp

Just noticed today that my trans temp allways starts out from cold even after having driven it and it takes a little while to rise up to the temp I checked the other trans gauge same thing do I have a problem or does it really cool down that fast the truck sat for maybe 10 mins

I would try turning it off and back on immediately, like a second or two in between.
What do you get doing that?
Then, you could move this out and record your readings. A half minute next time, then one minute, etc.

The gauge is fake anyway so pay no real attention to it. It is programmed to go to 3 settings Cold ,Norm and Overheat

Mine does the same I drove all over stopped at my garage started the truck and it was cold until i drove a few hundred yards then it went up. Ive come to the conclusion not to pay attention to the digital guage cause it changes so much

I think there is a TSB to address this issue with the 09-10s.

Agreed! If you are really worried you could install an aftermarket gauge. I had one in my old truck in my 3 gauge pod. Do you tow?
