Figured the title could provide for some imaginative responses ;) Just posting data can get dry.

Ultimately I would like to take the data and characterize it. Turns out we're all Beta testers. Luckily haven't experienced limp yet

My normal drive home from work is about an hour, outside temperatures vary from 88 to 76 since I travel about 35miles each way. First part is stop and go traffic it was a steady rise from 150 to about 200. 2nd part of the drive is some twisties for about 20mins, I was stuck behind of line of cars so no hard driving 2nd and 3rd gear most of the way, maxed out about 233. I am using OBDII reader and the Torque app.

I am curious to see what it is when I get to drive a little harder. They just graveled my normal ride to work so probably going to be a couple weeks before I take my car over it again.

I didn't realize they were working on HWY 9 and got stuck on it right after they laid the gravel. All I could picture were thousands of chips in the paint. I'm scared to wash the car now, because I don't want to see how many chips have actually been added. Oh well, I'll just start saving now for a repaint in 10 years.

I have a track pack car, but have basically the same commute. Next time I get a good run over the hill I'll put up my numbers as a comparison.

Since I have my temperature readout working I thought I would post a data point. It was cool today around 70 F and I just putted around getting some gas and washing the car. Maybe 10 miles total driving setting the cruise on the highway for a few miles at around 70 but mostly driving at about 40 mph or so. I didn't drive the car hard at all. The trans oil temp maxed out at 176 F in those conditions. I noticed that parking the car while washing it the trans oil actually was warmer after the car was sitting for 1/2 hour or more.

I experienced the same. Heat soak from the engine/exhaust coupled with now air flow.

My drive to work this morning equaled 176f tranny temp and climbing but the drive was short. Not too warm, 18c out.

Should have a couple longer drives this week.

Highest i've read on mine was 225 last Saturday with temps in highs 90's. 10-15 mile drive with some spririted driving.

We need coolers for sure.......addle:

Same drive on the way home with a bit less traffic so I could open it up lead me to 221f in temps. 15-20 minutes. Fastest I got was 110-120km. 4th gear was the highest I went.

73 degrees out (22C)

Someone remind me please. What temp does limp mode kick in?

I think in one of the track videos it was around 280.

Tell me about it, I already noticed them in front of the rear tires after that commute. Wish I would have known they laid that shit down I would have waited a couple weeks to go that direction. :frusty:

when I went to track attack, the tranny temp on track pack gt350 went up to 131F.. but we're talking about running trannies lets keep it on subject :lol:

So 70-90 degree difference between Track/Tech cars that're running on track conditions (131f) to normal driving (200-220f). That's not comforting at all. Why the F*** would Ford do this?
