What do you see under average stop and go in town, on the highway in lockup at 65 and under towing loads vs outside temp and what monitoring location is being used?
Maybe we can get some helpful pattern from this.
02 4.6L Screw 4x4.
My new monitor shows a swing between 148 and 165 with the outside temp at 60+*.
In unlocked condition, it will go to 165, as expected.
Under lock up at speed it will cool down to below 150.
I have installed an 18000 GVW cooler and monitor at the exit (inline) from the transmission to the radiator and looking at the fluid temp as it exits.
Nothing yet pulling a trailer but that is coming very soon.
this is all after the cooler but i see around 150 at stop and go trafic and at highway speeds i see like 110, offroading it has gone up to almost 200 shooting up sand dunes and big hill climbes in 1st and 2nd gear, hope this helps
