Thanks guys. The EDGE system does have all gauges (trans temp/egt's/fuel pressure, turbo boost, etc.
Its not overloaded because that was its wet weight when we towed it home new. We only load a few things, basement is nearly empty, all grey/fresh/black tanks empty. I forgot the factory hp was 325. FishOnOne, you are right. I'm checking into it tomorrow!
Unless you added a sending unit to the trans for the edge to read, it definitely can not read trans temp.
Stock, you truck has what is essentially a switch to turn on a dummy light when it's way too hot.
My 05 read trans temp off OBD with Edge CTS.
I drove 145K with 120hp added to stock 48RE. Of course I didnt drive like an idiot or do boosted launches. I did go WOT weekly. 3.73 gears as well.
Or you can do as someone else suggested and go drive a new truck.
Sorry but unless a sending unit was added, there's no way it can do that. It can, like the oil pressure gauge on your 05, simply make something up.
I understand what you are saying. But how does it just "make something up"? Wouldnt it be cheaper and easier to put a $5 dollar sensor in the trans?
I havent had a 48RE apart, so I do not know for fact if it has a sensor or not. But I do know the temp rises as it warms, the TC will not lock until it reaches 50*F, and when the TC is locked for long periods the temp falls.
