In Dash Digital Readout
About a month ago we purchased a 2021 F-350 SD STX, 7.3 gas. I've been told there is a real time digital gauge that shows transmission temp. I haven't been able to access that readout. A Ford dealer tech, without seeing the truck, said it may not have the trans. temp readout capability. He went through the different modes with me over the phone and we were never able to access the info I seek. He wasn't 100% sure it isn't available so I thought I'd see if anyone here might know for sure.
TIA.

On my truck, see sig file, I go to the screen with the tire pressure and oil life monitor, then use the up/down cursor controls to try to go up or down "further than the selections on the screen will allow" if you get my thought here. Then the transmission temp selection will appear, along with elapsed time on engine hours.
From memory, but something like that.

Just figured someone with sincere and straight forward info and advice would reply. 2 out of 3 so far have attempted to be of assistance. I reckon that isn't too bad of an average.

Press the left arrow two or three times, scroll up or down to drivers assist and press ok, then scroll up and or down to look for Trans temp. If it's there select it and hit ok. May or May not be available? My manual says oil temp is selectable also but it is not.....

Now, how to find the temp gauge. On my truck, as described below, I have the 4.2 inch info screen between the tach and speedometer so my instructions assume you have the same. Go to the top of the menu, top screen. Select display options, which should then display "oil life monitor" and "tire pressure monitor." From this screen keep pushing the up arrow and more options will appear (if not, use the down arrow).
On my truck, this will now show tire pressure, oil life monitor, transmission temp, engine hours and a couple more I can't remember. It's just a little bug in the code that drives the menu system on that screen. The transmission temp gauge is real time, digital and takes up the entire 4.2" screen.
Let us know if you find it (or not)

OK, first off a "sig file" is a signature file, or that verbiage at the bottom of your post. You have one, I have one.

As I said above, I scoured the owners manual and either overlooked the info or it isn't included, which is a mute point either way.
Thank you again, sir!!
