Re: Transmission Temperature

Jessenej,

Thanks for posting the picks. I already emailed Peter about getting one for my van.

Re: Transmission Temperature

Jessenej,

Would you be willing to post pictures? If you don't mind what did they cost?

I am very interested in skid plates, I have had them on my jeep for years and love the piece of mind...

Re: Transmission Temperature

Transmission skid plate?

I have looked before for skid plates for my van and haven't been able to find anything. Did you buy this from SMB West?

Thanks

Re: Transmission Temperature

Mahukaawe,

I have an '08 and had the same thing happen when I first programed the Scan Gauge. If you go the the companies web site there is a table of X-Gauge codes. There were 3 different codes...

Re: Transmission Temperature

Give me a call on your way back through Seattle and I would be happy to walk you through what I did on the installation.

Re: Transmission Temperature

Greg,

From everyone I've talked with if you are at 250 you are definitely in the red zone.

Foil makes a surprisingly good insulator my concern would be that the first trip down a...

Re: Transmission Temperature

NRL,

Yes the transmission lines do run along the exhaust line about 3" from it. I am not familiar with exhaust wraps or thermal sleeves, are these available at the local auto parts store? If...

Re: Transmission Temperature

The test results are in and my conclusion is the engineer that was in charge of the grill should be demoted to cup holders, no wait then I would be wearing my late.

The transmission cooler is...

Re: Transmission Temperature

Saline,

After looking at my grill I agree with what you are saying. On the 08" Ford made the grill opening larger then filled it up with cheap chrome coated plastic.

I talked with Heber at SMB...

Re: Transmission Temperature

Bill,

First I can verify that when you get over 230 you may get a nice :a6: coating of transmission fluid on the underside of you SMB. On the way to Dever this month I blew 1 quart of fluid...

Re: Transmission Temperature

Bill,

I picked up my SMB yesterday and they said they ran every test they could on the transmission and could not find any problems. They could see where it had leaked fluid but had no idea why? ...

Re: Transmission Temperature

Re: Transmission Temperature

Bill,

Re: Transmission Temperature

Re: Transmission Temperature

Bill,

Did you heat your cooling fan kicking onto high. The fan sound of the fan is unmistakable and can be heard clearly over the diesel. We have done some steep passes in our van with the air...
