Just a heads up if someone is thinking about getting a scan gauge, my local Advance auto parts store had them for $159.99, but if you order ahead online, and then go pick it up at the store, you can use a 30 percent discount code and take $48 off. Mine was $119.27 with tax. The discount code was trt30. Having all the available info this gauge offers, and especially if it keeps you from overheating a very expensive transmission, for $120 I don't see how you could go wrong.
Wow! Thanks so much, rbreak! You just saved me $48!!!
Gotta love online forums!

Two more questions - since I'm used to only having a temperature gauge in the dash that only told me when the transmission temperature was nearing the "red" area, I realize that I don't actually know when the transmission is at a "dangerous" temperature. Can you all enlighten me. At what temperature should I stop and let the transmission cool down.
Also, any tips about coming down from grade in the Class C. In my pickup, I just put it into a lower gear and tried tp stay off the brakes as much as possible. Any other tips for driving the class C down grade?

I too have a V-10 E-350 {2012}, Class C. I bought the Scan Gauge specially to display trans fluid temps. Without that info most folks have no clue just how hot their trans can get especially when not utilizing your Tow Haul mode. Engaging it, even on a seemingly slight grade, can drop your trans fluid temps 12 to 15 degrees in just a couple of miles.
Most folks do not use T/H nearly enough and that can easily lead to premature transmission failure. The Scan Gauge does so many things well at a very reasonable cost I cannot imagine running without it.
For the record I run with mine displaying trans fluid and coolant temps along with real time and average mpg. You can easily adjust your display to any one of a couple of dozen displays but those four work well for me.

Well, for one thing, we no longer have to use Tow/Haul, we just put the 6 speed in cruise control, and the computer completely controls the speed both up and down hill. We borrowed a plug in gauge, and the temps were in the 185 to 202 range while running at about 62, with the outside air temp at around 90.
