    If your temp. sensor is tapped into the pan, or wrong cooler line, you have to add 15-20 degrees to your temp. to make up for the temp. of the fluid INSIDE the trans.

    Oh wow... Is it getting that bad???

    I thought we were talking about high temps, not the absolute lowest temp.

    Well the thing is that I start the truck and in less than 15 sec the gauge reads 230-240F even in parking! And I do have a 46,000GWV tranny cooler or something like that, I mean I bought the biggest cooler I found.. That's why I'm confused.. Something has to be wrong... Don't you think so?

    forgot this was an external gauge. You need to put the sending unit in the pan so you're measuring the temp there. Fluids get warm when you compress them so having rediculously high temps on the pressure side is believable.

    Check the temp with a scanner program. If its still high then you need to check the wiring going to the trans and if thats good you need to check the wiring inside the trans going to the temp sensor. If thats good then you need to install a new pressure/temp sensor in the transmission.
