i got my ts today

[steele86]

All i can say wow what difference in power and shifting but i have one question why would the trans temp go up120 degrees on the hwy?
Normally my gage sits at 0 on the hwy at this time of the year and summer time it sits at 150 to180 oh by the way im talking about fluid temp. any good in put? Thanks guys

Do you have aftermarket gauges or are you going by the one in your instrument cluster

 

[Daryl@TDP]

Your gauge just started working for some reason? 120 would be a normal temp for the ambient temp being 20 degrees.

 

[steele86]

I have autometer gages and they have always worked

Could be a shotty sending unit maybe? Brakes dragging? My "0º" is 100º on my gauge, my normal drive to and from work in the winter months it doesnt move, but if I drive thru town, any stop and go, it will raise to 120º-150º. Is your torque converter locking or just spinning? Are you using TS's canned tunes or somebody elses tunes? If it just started happening when you put the chip in, I would suspect the its the tunes fault, or your right foots happy with all the new power...I doubt its a bad gauge or sending unit, it is possible though. Either way, that temp is nothing to be worried about.

What autometer gauge has a 0 in it?

 

[steele86]

Coblt

 

[CSIPSD]

Which I have, and the temp gauges dont go to 0...

 

[steele86]

They are full sweep gages, and yes they canned tunes

 

[steele86]

I forgot to tell u guys that i also have magtec deep pan if it matters

 

[backwoodsboy]

They are full sweep gages, and yes they canned tunes

Any Cobalt series gauge I have seen is 100-260*
Are you seeing 120*, or 220* on the gauge? 120* is nothing to worry about, 220* and you have issues.

 

[steele86]

I understand 120 is normal but this time of the year my gage says 0 since i put the chip in today now it read 120 on the hwy i just want to know if that common, i had a superchip tuner it never made temp go up. Ill take pic of my gage and post it for you guys

 

[steele86]

Ok i was wrong it is 100-260 my bad

 

[CSIPSD]

LOL...

Where is your probe? If its in the pan move it to the pressure port.

 

[steele86]

yes its in the pan

 

[seeyalater5.9]

relocate to pressure port.

 

[CSIPSD]

yes its in the pan

Move it to the pressure port. In the pan is not a good place to install a trans temp gauge. It will take forever to register changes, more so when you have an oversized pan.

Not a fan of oversized pans.

 

[steele86]

so which pressure port?

 

[CSIPSD]

Drivers side, just ahead of the shift linkage.

 

[steele86]

is 1/8" npt
