Possible Tranny Temp problems.........................

[Gary C]

Well, after 3 weeks of owning the H2 I finally finished the manual, when I got to the tranny temps a red flag was waving. If the tranny temp is 265ish and this temp is taken from the pan and NOT off the TC(torque converter)the tranny will be well done, toast.

If this temp is coming off the TC (265 is a little high) and if it ever reaches where the Idiot comes on do yourself a favor and get your tranny fluid flushed(NOT DRAINED)ASAP.

Why do I know this, I am on my fourth tranny (64000 miles) in my 480hp/954tq(rear wheel figures) Cummins Diesel Dodge truck. I have two gauges for tranny temps, one for the Pan temp and one coming off line from the TC, I watch them like a HAWK NOW. 200 in the pan and 265 off the TC is the limits. I also run redline fluid and change every 8000-10000 miles depending how much towing I do.


SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo, does anyone know where our Hummers gets their tranny temps from, Pan or from the TC ????????????? I hope the TC...

Also, what is the highest temp you have seen in your H2? If you do respond please state the conditions. (towing, hilly, outside temp, and weight of trailer)

thanks for your time


OMT, around town your temps will be higher than putt'n down the road(HiWay).
