    03 7.3L 4R100 Trans gets hot

    Checked the diff between the pan and the gauge and got about a 30 degree difference. this difference may be caused due to the location the gauge is reading from since it is an after market pan carrying a lot more fluid then stock (This seems a little big though). will check for bebri between...

    03 7.3L 4R100 Trans gets hot

    Any idea of what type of torque converter would work the best? Is it easy to put in yourself or do I need to go to a shop to have that done?

    03 7.3L 4R100 Trans gets hot

    the gauge stays the same for a little while and then will slowly drop. no real quick changes here when stopped. the only time quick changes in the pillar gauge occur is when I am driving. eventually the dash gauge catches up. no fluids leaking..

    Removing the chip made no difference. Auto meter gauge is thermostatic not electric. I agree that more volume isn't necessarily going to help cooling. I also agree that we should be paying attention to the dash and not so much the pillar gauge. Thanks for your input

    03 7.3L 4R100 Trans gets hot

    Tranmission gets hot after an hour of freeway driving at 70+mph (2500+ rpm). Autometer pillar gauges reads 200+ and dash gauge barely moves. If I slow to 60mph temp will come down to 180 but takes sometime to do so. Went on a test run will 8000# trailer towing up hill most of the way. Trans...

    gauge readings??

    THe trans probe I believe is in the middle on the bottom of the after market trans pan I have on the truck. I had a friend use a laser temp gauge and the gauge is 30 degrees off at two different temps. Going to check the gauge this week. If I get the chance.

    gauge readings??

    Thanks for the info Treyloco. Was it hard to get to the back of your gauges to check the connections? Mine are mounted on the pillar. Have you noticed what temp your dumby gauge on the dash starts to move?

    gauge readings??

    I have a 03 F250 7.3L with 85K on it. Just had a transmission temp gauge, EGT gauge and boost gauge put in. Does anyone have any idea what temps I should be concerned about on these? All gauges are from autometer. I normally tow a toy hauler that weighs around 11,700 lbs. I have seen my...

    Cant afford a 4x4 but am curious if getting a setup to lock both rear tires when climbing a fairly steep hill while pulling my trailer would help or if anyone has a rear locker?
