Transmission Gage
I have a 2002 F-250 Super Duty 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel. Last week the Transmission gage instead of starting at low and going to normal running temp went directly to normal running temp. Went to Ford Dealer and they said the solenoid valve body was bad so they replaced it. Next day started it up and same thing happened. What could be the trouble.

An aftermarket transmission temp gauge is a quick and easy install if you're worried about getting an accurate temp reading. The factory gauge is basically an idiot light, it only goes red when something has already gone wrong.
If you get an electronic temp gauge, it's as simple as putting a sensor into the transmission and hooking up a few wires. You can get a pod to put where the grab handle is on the drivers side a-pillar, it's a very clean install.

Per earlier message I was told that nothing is wrong that it was normal. My question is why for 8 1/2 years the guage has always started at the bottom and as it warmed up it went to center just like the radiator guage did and still does. It just started starting in the center a week ago. Thank You.
