I finished installing it today and I don't know whether or not the thing is working. The light works but the needle does not move. I got everything connected and I grounded it not to the engine but spliced in my light wire and the light works. Does it get over 100 degrees? The needle hasnt moved yet for me. I havent driven it long either though. Just curious.

 

You should definitely get over 100 degrees. Where did you put the temperature sender, in the test port on the tranny?

I would double check that your temp sender is grounded correctly, because it sounds to me like it isn't.

Even with a 24,000lb tranny cooler, my tranny temp will stay between 125 and 180. Your gauge should definitely start to rise above 100 after you drive a few blocks, especially if you don't have your electric fans turned on or an extra tranny cooler.

 

Mine hardly get over 150. It stay around 120-130 if that.

 

Make sure you ground the sensor, even if you use the test port on the tranny. Due to the tranny itself is not really a good ground.

Get a high stall converter and watch your tranny temps climb.

 

Well I have a 24,000 cooler too. I drove it only for a brief period but mashed on it. The sensor is in the test port and I did ground the other wire. I grounded it just to the frame right by the gas pedal. I have another wire grounded there and it works. Maybe tomorrow I will try grounding it somewhere else. Any suggestions w/o having to really put huge effort into making it somewhere?

Beside the cooler, everything else is stock and I have just what is in the sig.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I have mine grounded in the same place. Just drive it a little more. I don't see why it wouldn't be working. Like I said mine hardly ever goes past 150.
