Max Transmission Temp
Ive searched, and gone back through my computer history and can't find it. I have seen a thread here which Mark contributed too which said what the max temps were and for how long etc. I know book is 230 and optimum is around 165 but there was some degree of play in that. Can anyone hook me up?

There was more on it somewhere but this pretty much covers what you need to know.
The cluster needle will move at 230°F. That is the temperature that you need to pay attention. You can go up to 250°F, but don't stay there longer than a half hour.
If you need to cool the trans idle or fast idle in park or neutral. DO NOT shut the engine off when the trans is that hot.

Your post made me realize I should take the info from Mark that I post in threads like this and include it in the tech folder, so I made a thread just now for easier linking.

Awesome! That thread's in the Excursion forum, can you put it in our tech folder too?

A lot of the stuff that crosses over from the Excursion tech folder has already been migrated over, but it's the other stuff I have to get coded for the format I like to use.
It will be there, Mark....eventually.
Sorry I can't be more precise.

I believe in the same thread he said the stock transmission sensor is as accurate a measurement as you can get especially if you can access it with a reader.
