AH64, you said that your Tacoma had a towing package -- wasn't a transmission cooler included? It was on mine -- and the transmission fluid does not get above 220, according to my Scangauge.
I wonder if there is another parameter that I should look at, other than trans fluid temp.
Yes there was a trans cooler included, but IMHO it isnt't quite adequat for intermountain driving.
I had a temp sensor installed in the torque converter output line which is always hotter than the pan temp where the OEM sensor is. A pan temp of 220 is pretty hot.
Fluid breaks down prior to heat damaging parts which is why it is reccommended to monitor temps where they are the hottest.
