What oil temps are you guys seeing while pulling long grades??

What do you mean a "dummy reading"?
The number you see is a guesstimate. Not from a specific gauge. Water and trans temps are real.
They are NOT a guestimate. There is a filtering algorithm applied which is based on the physics of the system. And yes there are also limits used: rate of change, etc. to keep the worry warts out of the sevice department.
As far as the temperatures mentioned are concerned they sound very normal for a long hot grade. I have seen temps much higher in tests with heavy trailers at Davis Dam grade many, many times.
There you have it direct from engineering....
Bottom line reading you see is not from one specific oil temp sensor. But thanks for detailing what I loosely said.
