ok here goes... forgive me for the long post but i want to really explain whats happened
the issue: tranny in drive with the parking brake set and just sitting still will over heat in about 5 minutes.
like i said i can sit with the truck in drive at idle and hold the brake or set p brake and the tranny will heat up all the way to 250.
now my gauge is hooked up via the old firstgen tranny hot line part so its coming right off the tranny.
The tranny has been rebuilt but it has done this ever since iv had gauges in the truck well before it was ever rebuilt.
now driving down the road or interstate she is ice cold 100 to 130 degrees. but if i get into traffic or stop and go she climbs right back up to were i have to pop it into neutral.
things ive done to try and solve this : replaced the stock tranny cooler with a larger unit and the results are still the same it just taked longer for it too over heat.
ive talked to my tranny guy and we drove the truck. it drives fine just like it always has. no slipping no shudder.
im honestly kinda baffled at why its acting like this. low stall speed in converter so i know that wouldnt casue it. any ideas fellas
fluid is clean no smell no debris. red and clean.
i replaced my fan clutch recently so i know it works. iv deleted my heat exchanger so its just from tranny to cooler and back.
i need some help tranny guru guys.:nail:
