We had a recurring issue with occasional overheating on our RV till our new mechanic told me to use a infrared thermometer and measure the temp of the upper radiator hose the next time it overheated. ...

What temp can the ford engine go to before damage ? I use the scan guage and without towing I. florida it runs around 194 low to 206/7 high point so far
My 31K runs the same temperatures by my scan gauge in Florida, not towing, driving 60-65ish. My mechanic tells me that's the temps. they design them to run at, to get better fuel burn and whatnot.
I'm not all that happy seeing my transmission occasionally get up to around 204. Thinking about adding another cooler.
Mitch do you have a newer scan guage or is it your RV is newer. My 2010 E350 chassis does not Show trans temp. Although the scan guage is older than the RV.
I had the original scan gauge with a 1997 E350 that didn't show the transmission temp. That info wasn't sent to the OBDII port on that year E350. On my 2014 MH on a 2013 E450 I have the scan Gauge 2. The MH does send the temp transmission to the OBDII port which the scan gauge picks up under the X gauge commands on the Scan Gauge. I'm pretty sure your 2010 also puts out the transmission temp. There is a code you punch in to set up for that reading. Check the scan gauge web site for more info. I don't believe the original scan gauge could read tranny temps, but I could be wrong.
