What should the transmission temperature be in a GM Truck?

The manufacturer makes the transmission and the fluid to hold up under higher temps. It’s not a matter of opinion…it’s what is stated by GM. You will run at least 80 – 100 degrees above ambient temperature-hotter if you are towing. The manufacturer makes the transmission and the fluid to hold up under higher temps.

Can a transmission blow apart at 200 degrees?

If the the ambient temps are over or near 100 degrees, you will see temps over two hundred in your transmission. It seems to be an INTERNET THING that you transmission will blow apart at temps much above 200 degrees….simply NOT TRUE. Click to expand…

What’s the average transmission temp in the Rockies?

Those temps are about normal I would say, the slow traffic causes less are flow through the cooler plus the converter is slipping causing… I tow in the Rockies. I see temps up to 245 to 250 degrees. The DIC warning doesn’t come on until 265.

What’s the transmission temp of a silveradosierra Z15?

Now ima try to give specs if i get them right from memory, i think i got this from Z15 but idk a google will prally being this up but, for ever 25 degrees over 195 you lose 50% of the rated life, so another 25% puts you at 25% rated life (.50x.50)

What should Trans temp be on Yukon XL Denali?

On my 2008 Yukon XL Denali (since traded in), if I was towing, the trans temp came up to the engine temp (around 210). It would stay at 210 until the engine temp started to rise, tracking close to the engine temp and then going a bit higher. When engine temp was ~225, trans temp was ~235.

What should the transmission temperature be to last the longest?

What is the optimum temperature for the longest life of the transmission? Keeping the transmission temperature between 175 and 200 degrees will allow the fluid to last the longest. This is the normal operating temperature for a transmission. Remember the fluid is the life line or blood of the transmission.

How long does transmission fluid last at 325 degrees?

Under normal operating temperatures the fluid is good to go for about 100,000 miles. At 325 degrees, it might last about 500 miles if your lucky.
