It depends on where you measure it and the load on the truck, the length of time under load and whether your in traffic running through the gears as well as ambient temperature.
I measure at the output of the converter.
In OD and some run time for normalization under light throttle, it runs about 155 +/-.
Good luck.

No, the fluid isn't the hottest there. It is in a great position to read the average transmission temperature, which in my opinion is the most important temperature.
You should start watching carefully at 220°F, and stay below 250°F. If the trans gets hot DO NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF! Idle or fast idle in park or neutral to cool the transmission.

Thanks Gadget and Mr. Kovalsky, I had to do a little programming but now have TFT!!!!
Staying around 165 - 170 here in Texas today, no load, in town driving.
I bought the scangauge because the engine temp gauge stopped working. Traced it to a bad motor or whatever the needle is connected to behind the dash. Thanks again guys.

Glad to be of help F150Dad.
What programming did you have to do?
Are you able to get an oil pressure ("OIL") reading with yours? I can't with mine which seems odd since there is an oil pressure sensor.

Since ours are both 1998 models, they have the least number of extra programmable points. If you google "scan gauge x gauge", some folks have figured out how to get sensors to read on some vehicle models. The programming is a bit confusing, but basically just follow the "+" and "-" buttons.
