[Gig'Em]

Hello everyone ! I need some transmission help on a 2001 7.3

Gig'Em. Ask away. What sort of problems are you having?

my evolution edge programmer warning is going off on my transmission temp at 250, is that a hot tranny temp or are my settings off ?

 

[DaveBen]

Your tranny is running HOT!!! Normal is about water temperature in the radiator, or about 180 - 200°. Pull the tranny oil stick and look at the oil, is it dark? Smell it, is it burned smelling? You may need a tranny rebuild. How many miles on the truck??

[Gig'Em]

Transmission fluid is full, clean and red, no burnt smell at all. The tranny was rebuilt at 115,000 miles, the truck has 175,000. Shifts fine

Instal a temp gauge using the test port. Test port is on the drivers side of the transmission above the pan rail.

By installing a temp guage you can tell if it is the tranny or the programmer.
