I have a 2006 with a 5.4l and was just curious as to
what trans temp would be considered high?

I tow a camper for 6-8hr stretches, I have the
tow package, and the Gryphon programmer that
I watch the trans temp on.

Thanks,

My programmer blinks and makes crazy noises at 230 but that's still too hot. Under 200 I would think you'd be good

I guess I'm good, the highest I've seen is about 175 while towing.

Mine runs about 140-150

What's the easiest and most cost effective way to get a trans temp reading?

A good programmer IMO

Easiest is a programmer for sure plus it will give you more than just a reading. Cost effective would be a electric trans temperature gauge in a vent pod

When I said 175, that's while towing, very warm outside then to, normal for me is 140-150 not towing.

Mine runs about 150-155 down the road..I seen it up to 210 while running a perf tune and 4x4ing on a warm day...154000 Km on the original tranny oil and filter..yeah..i should change it .so 175 dont seem to bad

Mine hovers around 150-170. 190 if pulling a boat or big trailer. Fullsize supercrew 4x4. Anything over your engine operating temperature is bad. Especially on this transmission its sensitive to high temp..
