I was wondering what is the normal range of trans temp in this truck? I was driving home last night and after a couple burst of wot , getting on the freeway, I checked the info display and it showed 200 degrees for Trans fluid. Truck was unloaded with 80 degree Temps.Also I guess how accurate is the dash Guage? does this seem like higher than normal Temps? 15 f350 cc sb 11 k miles ,gas motor. i aslo drove another couple miles coasting around and the temp never dropped past 196 .Thanks Joe

all "F" 250/350 transmissions from 2011 to 2016.. are thermostatically controlled at 200 degrees.

 

That's normal operating temperature. My truck (6.2L, 4x4, CC, long bed)runs at that temperature summer and winter - there's a thermostat that controls the flow of the fluid through the transmission cooler to maintain temperature.


The only times my temps have briefly gone over that - was towing a loaded dump trailer very slowly up a hilly dirt road, and another time when I got stuck in some muck for a couple of minutes and had to rock it between forward and reverse to get free. Both those times the only airflow through the tranny cooler was from the engine fan, so the temps started to rise... I soon as I got some forward speed and had more airflow, the temperature quickly went back down and stayed at ~200.

That's about normal for my 6.7 also. Got up to @210 last weekend towing the 5er below but I have always been told and read that this is normal range.

 

you know as soon as I posted , I scrolled down and saw those threads and said doh, yeah I figured no biggie but I like to air on the side of caution.
