Ya I'm really pleased with it so far. I wasn't going to even put in a tranny temp gauge but my sister got me the prime 4x4 panel and I wanted to install everything at once so I decided to go for it. I'm really looking forward to seeing it all put together, gonna start on it in an hr or so. hopefully it doesn't take too long

 

Famous last words of every XJ owner...lol

 

 

Last time I said that...

 

Got everything done! Took some pics but it was dark out so the flash made it look kind of ****ty... Going to take pics 2morrow in the sunlight and post em up, glad its over with!

 

Heh. "It won't cost that much"

 

"But I NEED these parts"

 

Picture Time!

 

Holy switches batman. What are all those for? lol. Looks good!

 

To the OP........I read where fluid temp "peaked" at 175F.....is that with/without an auxiliary tranny cooler?

 

Mine peaks around 180F (sensor in the "Hot" line from the trans) in hilly terrain or heavy traffic with a B&M 70264 cooler on it. It stays below 140F (the lowest temp on my gauge) on the highway.


Don't know what it was before the cooler since I didn't have a gauge then.

 

Good to know....don't have a tranny fluid temp gauge on our XJ but we do have a B&M #70264 auxiliary cooler.

Have u had the cooler/gauge combo long?......as in during summer time driving?

 

I've had the cooler for a couple years, I just put the gauge ( Stewart Warner 122281 ) in a few months ago (late Aug/early Sep) so I don't have any temps from the hottest part of summer yet.

 

That's good to know as well.....late Aug/early Sept ambient temps should be substantially higher current ambient temps. Thanks again.

Sure wish I could figure out how to get XJ tranny temp to display on the ScanGauge.

 

I don't think the AW4 has a temp sensor in the trans (or the TCM doesn't communicate it to the PCM), I've seen several posts of people saying that their OBDII scan tools (ones capable of reading trans temp) could not read the trans temp.
