High Trans temps

[JerseyGlock]

Interesting on trans temp. What about water temp in that same range?

Right I mean have an electric pump on the ICE/Trans loop.

I'm unsure if this is used for the trans or not, but there is an aux coolant pump for the cabin heater core. They're separate valves for allowing fluid to flow, but there is a remote possibility that it could flow to the trans, but I wouldn't expect it. With the exhaust heat exchanger also a component, the PB's system has a few more parts than non PB.

I do know putting the raptor/police interceptor trans cooling system would have been superior to what we've got.

Is there any information on whether this is solely a bolt on solution for a non-PB F150? Or does this require programming / significant retrofit?

Quite a few parts to it, plus you'd have to find a way to mount the front rad as it sits in the same place as the HV cooling loop's rad. There's room to do it.

One would think this upgrade should have been incorporated in a Max Tow / Tow package for the non PB F150....

Yea right, they want you to buy a super duty!

Im seriously wondering if its worth removing the air slats in front of the Radiator...wonder how much of a MPG hit I will take for doing that.

I'd considered removing a few. I removed the intercooler slats. There's 3 of them interconnected with a linkage. The center one provides the motive force, the bottom one provides the fully-open stop point. Not sure how the upper ones are done but you may be able to remove several of them. Impact of cold weather warmup / engine temp keeping is an unknown. While I'd prefer to never have the trans at 220f, I'm not sure you can really mitigate that for puttsing around without opening up a bigger can of worms of unintended consequences.

Ford performance should really put together a trans cooling upgrade kit for us like the tremor skid plate offering. That's about half the cost of buying the parts individually.

Oh look. A thread relevant to the reason I logged in today.

I normally run around 200-210, unloaded. And now I'm leaking fluid.

I've got an update!

I took mine in for its fluid leak. Apparently the foreman who looked at it in ABQ WAY over filled it to get me home and attempted to reseal the pan.

The tech, today, told me there's essentially a thermostat in the coolant heat exchanger that opens when the transmission is cold to help it warm up. It then closes at normal temps, and will reopen at higher temps. Mine was binding so it was only opening about ¼ of the way. He's getting the part in and I hope this fixes my problem.

My truck also stinks to high hell of burnt transmission fluid.

I'm having the same transmission overheating issues.
'22 Lariat PB with max tow package - rated around 13k# capacity.
Towing 5,600# camper with hardly anything in it and dry.
Never had any issues towing (I tow it a lot) until in Sept '24 when the dealer decided my trans needed to be overhauled even though I had never had any issues with hard shifting or overheating.
I had brought it in for a clicking noise in the rear end - they finally admitted the clicking was not the transmission but the rear axle (which is under recall with no fix determined yet).
I have to pull over frequently to let the tranny cool down. Ambient temps have been below 60F. Pulling in Texas and Oklahoma on I-35 which is rolling hills, not steep at all.
Once temps get into the 90's this spring it will be worse.
It's at the dealer again. 4th time since September. They are throwing up their hands and don't know what to do.
I've run tests and it doesn't matter if I have the A/C on or off, or if I'm using the generator or not.

I’ve been noticing that my trans temps have been around 212 the last several weeks and today was over 220 a few times, too the point where my monitor was flashing red over the dials.

I was just driving around town. Not towing or pushing hard. Should I be worried or do something?

I don’t have any codes related to the trans either.
.

I do have the same problem and worse what I did is I changed my thermostat to SPD 170 because the way 10r80 transmission cooling through engine's radiator coolant. The thermostat lowered my tranny 20+ so far. Read my full story here

The flash point for ATF is 350 degrees. With idiot lights no one cared but with a digital readout people start to panic.

Update on my overheating problem: The dealer got the area Ford Service Engineer (FSE) involved. The FSE reported back that I should "GET SOMETHING BIGGER THAN A 3.5 HYBRID TO TOW THIS".
For the record I am towing an Airstream Safari camper and I have the max tow package. This vehicle is supposed to have 430hp, a load of torque, and rated for over 12k# towing. I can't believe what I'm hearing. They even show this vehicle pulling campers bigger than mine in the ads! Pretty incredible response.

EDIT: I don't want to take over this discussion so I will try to leave my future posts on this thread: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/thr...way-twice-high-voltage-battery-warning.32148/
