tranny temp with efans
 

i have my efan on again. i have been noticing that my tranny temp seems to rise a little quuicker now. just was wondering what your tranny temps were running after installing efans. with the stocker she was staying around 180 and after the efans have been on she is getting in the 210 area.

mine is usually around 160 just driving and when i tow the fourwheelers 200 or so. but i dont have efans

210* is a little high for just driving around and not towing anything. With temps in the high 80s my tranny temp is 150*-160* just driving about town. What temp did you set your fans to come on at? My normal coolant temp is 194*-196* with the stock mechanical fan.

i have my fans set to come on at 199 and shut off at 197. 197 is where the truck usually runs at.

You need to get back to 180, if you want your transmission to last.

Heat is NO good for the Mercon and the transmission as a whole.

That doesn't seem right. My transmission temperatures stay around 168-178 on a hot hot Florida day and I'm on 37s. :lol:

Trans Temp
 

The deal is the efans dont come on till the engine is getting hotter than optimum operating temperature which is a little past 200. The regular clutch fan is spinning right away on start up but the efans are not. You might need a trans cooler or fan to combat the problem. What temp are your fans set to come on at. That is probably why the trans temp is up.

That temp seems way high. The only time that I have seen 180+ was with 7K on the hitch, at 95+ temps pulling a grade getting on the interstate. Once I was at highway speed the temps dropped right back to 160-170. In normal driving without a trailer I have never seen 165.

How do you check your transmision temps?

Meat Thermometer !:D

Anything over 200 degres is considered 'well done' :lol:

Cheers.

BTW - IMHO, if you aren't measuring it at it's hottest point, it ain't worth measuring at all.

Quiz - the hottest point would be ________________ ?


For ONE4FX4... here's your solution: http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi...gno=PPI-ATCKIT

Right where the fluid exits the cooler... duh!

mine is checking the temp at the tranny in the pressure port near the front of the case. to me that is the best place since it is near the front pump.

Dont you mean right before it enters the cooler?:coffee:
