Tranny temp gauge?
My truck sat for a day and a half, started it to move into the back of my shop. I had it running for about 5-8 minutes, engine temp gauge just started to move, but the tranny gauge was already up to temp. Is this normal???? When I test drove the truck the gauge took a while to come up to temp.

Yeah, that factory gauge is just a switch. When it gets over something like 50 degrees, it shows normal. Above 230ish, it goes yellow, above 260 I think it goes read. By then it's too late. Your tranny will normally already look like this by the time the factory gauge goes red:
