RE: [VAL] Trans temps

["eemerick" <eemerick@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I have not had it up above 210 at any time yet, and then it was only
after I entered a State Park with a good pull to the dump station and
then it only reached 200. When I'm not pulling it runs 110 to 120,
normal pulling it will get to 150 and hold there. If I got to 240 I
would freak, I think! And Stan is right when it gets to 200 it takes
forever to drop. I plan on changing the fluid every 30,000 or so to stay
ahead of the game. After replacing 2 trans in two different Suburban
over the years (one in a very cool place in ND, but that is another
story) I don't want to go through that again. The factory gauge does not
have a Red Line on it and I'm wondering when do I take my foot out of
it, at 200, 210, 240? Does melt-down start at 200 or 250?
Thanks again
