Well my tranny hit 225 yesterday driving on the freeway think it was about 90 degrees outside at the time, and i was looking for some help as to keeping it nice and cool. Im getting a Hughes deep pan soon but will it help that much, or how about tranny coolers??? What do you guys think?? I would really like to keep it in the 160 degree temp because i live in vegas and its going to be getting HOTTER soon so any advise is really greatly appreciated!!!

 

225 on the freeway????!!! i hardly get that hot around town in 95-100* temp running it hard. Have you had your tranny flushed lately?

 

Yes sir did it today and it still gets hot!!! I usually dont drive too much freeway but that day was about 90 miles which isn't too much i dont think

 

thats insane, how hot does it get driving around town? If im at 220 from driving around town, ill take it out on the highway and run 65 for about 10 minutes, cool it down to about 180 or so before i park it. mine will run about 165-180 on the interstate doing 70-75mph when its 95-100 out

 

Around town it will run about 180 but i dont drive too long i usually park it because i got where i was going so it could posibly run hotter if i keep driving

 

Id upgrade to a f250 tranny cooler, they are very nice, fit good, and will keep your temps down. I forgot to mention i do have a bigger cooler, i think its rated at 28000gvw

 

What would you think of the B&M cooler i had one in mind but it might be a little overkill http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

 

That would be good.

 

And what about tranny pans do the really help?? I konw they add about 3 more quarts to the tranny so it might help out a little??

 

it would help

 

Thank for your help

 

everybody is talking about how they see their tranny temp ..where does it show on the truck...or is it an aftermarket part....i think my 06 xlt has a tranny cooler

 

Amazon has that cooler a bit cheaper w/free shipping:

I have an autometer gauge.

 

I have that cooler. I loved it while it worked. The sensor that turned the fan on quit working and I wired it to a switch inside the truck. So now I turn it on when I see the guage go up.
