Thanks for the feedback, team. Good intel from Shyll, as my engine is bone stock, except for one turbo rebuild.
The new FICM + display is like discovering that the bookshelf in the back of my office opens up into a secret room. Loads of useful information there; can't believe I went this long without using one.
We are currently on a 900 mile winter trip in the Eastern Sierra. There are some steep grades on the way north, and I did notice that the trans oil temp is the one that increases slower than the EOT and ECT on grades, but it also cools much slower than the others too. I assume this is the stock trans oil cooler not doing a good job.
We are not fully loaded, and most of the highway speeds are between 65-70 mph, but it is informative to see the EO, trans oil, and EC temps go past 200 F, especially on grades between 5000 - 7000 feet asl. Backing off the pedal does bring EGT and EOT down, but the trans oil temp doesn't move (decrease) that fast, even with outside temps in the 20-30F range.
