When I was having troubles with mine running hot. My trans would whine in first gear for some reason. Then oneday the whine and running hot was over,Fixed itself.

 

With e-fans mine doesn't get above 160 in stop and go traffic. But I do have a 60 E. And it gets into the 70s here in the winter.

 

Yes It does have a whining noise in first gear but I don't no what's causing it. Anybody know what's causing this?

 

Wish I could help more, but when I made my thread I never mention it cause I thought it was normal, but when gauge stop reading hot the whine was gone.. All I had is a heat gun to check temps. Mine would hit 260* sometimes, but heat gun only would show 185*

 

Mine whines 1st really bad. But most them i heard with 100k+ miles on them are gonna whine.
My brothers with 315k miles sounds like a old eaton roots blower.


Mine runs about 100* if its 32* ambient. Takes forever to warm up enough to lock up.
Sounds like you have a slipping problem or not enough air flow over the cooler.

 

that could be 1 of the reasons it gets so hot cause u by pass the radiator

 

That's about what mine sounded like and I only had 69k on the clock lol

 

Well I wish mine would fix itself. lol Just talked to a local trans shop and he told me that I most likely have a torque converter lockup issue but I can fell the converter locking up but maybe its just partially locking?

 

I would check your converter lock up % with the scan tool.. if it is slipping excessively it will cause high temps.. i would also check your air flow across the cooler.

 

My trans cooler in the radiator was clogged when i got it so i bypassed it and only running the trucool 40.

I wish i could run it in the radiator so it would warm up quicker.

You can log converter slip on your laptop.
