cficare-

Your computer must be programmed different than mine. I have a 05 excursion and the trans temp gauge sucks. useless.

Here is another link that gives more in depth testing results

I guess so. The links were interesting, and thanks for sharing them. With the relatively low weight I tow (5,600#), I don't have a need for this gauage anyway .... never had one before ... never wish I did have one. I do wish FOMOCO had left the voltmeter gauge in the instrument panel.

Anybody usin a Tekonsha trans temp gauge? Seem like a decent one... for the money.
Also while on the subject how about adding a trans cooler to the V10? Is the factory cooler enough for towing or should I bypass, or add another one inline?
Any tips are appreciate here.
