Wouldn't say totally useless. My mechanic told me the stock transmission temp monitoring on my 05 doesn't activate the dash warning light until the fluid temp hits 280 degrees and that may be a tad late.

Once off the steep grades all was fine and temp settled in around 180, ambient temps were high 90's.
