5r110 temps

[nsrchofpwr]

what are the transmission temps that people are seeing ? interstate temp and m.p.h. towing and unloaded? also normal city driving, towing and unloaded. post outside air temp also. post upgrades like additional coolers,deep pans etc.

The Hottest I have ever seen my tranny was 185* pulling 12k through fresno CA. when it was 113*outside. Now that I have an SCT, pulling a 12k 5th wheel in the mountains is a breeze and my temps will not exceed 150* with the ambient air at or around 80*. I do have a Mag Hytec pan, and I would have to say it is worth a good 20* cooler.

Are you towing to get those temps? If not you have other issues. You might want to try some different gearing for that size tire, that will help some.

i would put that on Ford's "ids" and find out what is wrong with it. go to the dealership, they have the complete diagnostic tools. that just seems too hot.

210* towing 12k lbs up a 6.5% grade for 6 miles just outside of Camp Verde, AZ; It was hot, but I don't remember what the temperature was. It quickly settled back to 180* once I got passed the hill.

PS. The Torqshift can handle more heat than it's cousin-4R100. Unless you are consistently over 220* for any length of time, you are probably ok. It sounds like Boggsie's situation is unloaded, so it likely has a blockage somewhere.
