Trans temp
I watch the Trans temp while towing and curious what a good range is to make sure it is not too hot. I have a factory front mounted trans cooler on a four speed 5.3 engine. Normally runs about 176 - 1...

Hi guys, I don't mean to hijack this thread but I had a similar questions about the same truck but just when not towing. I have a 2013 1500 silverado (about 1,800 miles) with the 5.3 and I noticed that the transmission temp was 182 after about an hour of stop and go traffic. It was 104 degrees outside, so pretty hot. Once I got on the highway, it went down to 172 to 174 degrees. I was not towing anything. Is that normal in hot temperatures?
