I changed out my a/c compressor and was messing around with a few things so I left it off.

For example, if you know that you're going to upgrade your transmission in the near future, and you know your going to do the radiator swap, add a trans cooler while the radiator and clutch fan are out.

If the clutch fan is out, swap the stat, water pump, and the belt. I know this is a lot of money, but it's something to think about.

Yeah i get you, It feels like my trans is gonna give out again

So im going to do the 4l80e transcooler, stall and so on

not sure on the v6 one fitting or not, but that is 100% your problem. I drove around for a couple days without one, and the temp would increase very fast at idle.

As you can see it's an Aeroforce gauge, and it has about 50 different setting options. And I believe that it's plug goes right into the PCM.
