beastpath Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 doesnt mean it works well, lol. It could be giving bad readings, as in slightly higher than they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 i don't see any adverse effects from it though can anything go bad if it shows a tad higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 well just got a new radiator cap from the dealer lets see if that makes a difference, the old one was nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 UPDATE Been running that 180 F thermostat for quite a while now. With a new thermostat, I got a new radiator, new radiator cap, new hoses, new overflow bottle, new water pump, and a transmission cooler. Has been pretty good, never has it gone over 1/2 way and its usually a little below that which I think is perfect. After it became cold outside, the temperatures are still the same as when it was hot outside. Ill post up an updated picture of where it is sometime this week.

Precise1 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Good, that sounds like the way it should be... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I also run with OD off Why? turning it off just means it won't shift into OD when you hit high enough speed for it to do so, it doesn't change anything until you are over about 50mph. You are just wasting gas if you are running the freeways with the OD off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Doesn't it also keep the TC from locking up? I can feel the difference as low as 35-40mph with mine... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 with the trans cooler, i keep it on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 No, it has no bearing on the TC lockup function. I tested it on the way to work today at 35 mph, the engine will run about 1800rpm then the TC will lock up and the RPM drop to 1600. If I turn OD off, the RPM jumps to 2000, if it turn it off, back down to 1600. I don't know what gear it is in at that point. I plan to play with it a little more when traffic conditions allow it...
