On the longest hill in the USA or Canada pulling a trailer I have never seen the Trans temp go over 250 ,mostly 230 that’s it, a jake won’t a have any impact on the Trans temp, period!!!!, coolant temp can be normal but if u drive in rain and it cools the oil pan the oil temp can go down , but they usually are the same running down the road!!!!

Why do you think I have this info so readily available? I too mistook it for coolant temp. I was bitching to Jason at Prevost about a trans heat gauge and he left it for me on my seat because he knew I would be pissed.

Then I hollered at him for Prevost making it look like a coolant gauge. After a good laugh, we move on.

On mine the trans guage runs about 10 degress hotter than my water and 215 is normal running at 70mph in 6th gear. I can’t see my coolant gauge on the dash for shit because of how I tilt my wheel so I leave the circle gauge on the pro driver showing trans heat and if it gets up higher I start paying attention if there’s a problem.

I guarantee you we are not the only one’s who have done this but me you and the Godfather are the only one’s who admitted it.

Ronnie it is not uncommon for my trans temp gauge to fluctuate from 215-228 under normal conditions. I have a Marathon 2008 H ..DPF engine (exhaust out thru roof). Don’t know if these engines are designed to run a little hotter or not but that is where my coach seems to be when running 70-75 MPH down interstate.

Same for me as Bernie said, I monitor the tranny temp, the dash water temp gauge sucks as the normal marks is a spread from 170 – 210. Mine runs in the middle and the tranny temp varies with the A/C running, but normal is 198 – 203. So having the tranny temp gauge selected I can monitor a digital gauge and I know the water temp is tracking pretty close.

I’m basically like some of these other guys, but with my Silverleaf system, I can & do monitor a number of temps. The three I monitor contemporaneously are the coolant temp (193 avg); oil temp (195 avg); and the trans temp (201 avg).

I do love these digital readings since the Prevost dash gauges are not as precise.

These gauges were really great traversing the Rocky Mountains at 8% grades to monitor all the temps. Never had a problem over the last two months in the mountains!

I did a similar thing on the first Prevost I owned……after start up, scrolled through the guages section, saw what I thought was water temp, and it said “LOW”, so I get out and check the water, and it was fine. Then, I even ordered a coolant level sensor, put that in, and then the “LOW” light still came on after start up.!

I then realized, I was looking at Trans temp instead of water!!!!!! So Don’t feel bad!
