ok so i installed my new trans temp gauge and its reading 250 after it gets warmed up.... does any one have any ideas on where i can get some OEM trans cooler lines?

 

what gauge did you get? thats really high

 

Where did you locate the gauge sensor?

 

i located on the side of the transmission above the linkage in the pressure test port the gauge is the autometer transtemp phantom 2 electric short sweep

 

seems like something is wrong.. any way to hook up a scanner to see what the PCM is seeing for Trans temp?

 

250 is way to high. Hopefully that is an error. If it is correct stop driving it.

266* and you will get a Light on your dash from trans over temp..

 

im hoping it is an error in the way i hooked it up....it has 5 connectors 2 "GND", 1"S", 1"I", and 1 "+12V" i hooked both of the GND's up to a ground, the +12V to the battery the S to the Sensor and the I to the ignition fuse.... sound about right? but its only a 5v drop across the gauge tho????

 

I cant remember what sensor that gauge comes with.

 

It wouldn't surprize me if that was right. Brendan (low dime) has an s10 with an interceptor gauge and his temps get to the low 200s driving around in 80 degree heat. So I could definitely see a full size truck running just the cooler built into the radiator, up that high, especially in Houston.
