    Yeah i'm not sure, will check it out a bit tonight. I figured it was because of the pull, and going so slow in high heat.

    It was definitely from the grade and heat, but shifting into 4lo would've helped keep things in check. Whether you need 4wd or not, if you're creeping along under 20 mph or so, shift it into low range to save the transmission. Get an trans temp gauge soon, you'll be shocked at hot quickly the trans temp climbs under load and with the torque converter unlocked.

    Yeah looks like I need to give that a try next time. Do you use a scan gauge or ultra gauge if so what kind/model? @northwesttaco what model do you use?

    Same. Make sure it can monitor transmission temps

    Figured I'd give you an idea for how to mount it other than an ugly windshield or dash mount. I have mine mounted with a RAAM Setup to the lower grab handle bolt then tucked my wire into the weatherstripping.

    I've never seen my at temp light on. I have an ultraguage and I've watched temps climb into the 210° range just running logging roads, which made me uncomfortable. When making trips to your side of the mountains I throw it into 4th and it keeps temps under 170° or so. I think my torque converter is on its way out.

    best $80 I've spent. I can keep an eye on conditions and somewhat trouble shoot issues before they become an issue.
