Re: Mike's 50

Just happened to click over to the trans temp in my wife's Suburban while in town today. 97° and humid, it was right at 190. My Ford F150 with a 5.0/6 speed auto runs a 195 and stays there. Apparently Ford has them thermostatically controlled to run that temp. Takes 15-20 minutes of driving to get it there, however.

205 working it up a mountain doesn't sound too out of whack, and probably livable. You don't want to overshoot and cool it too well!
