The trans should run on average 100 degrees plus what ever out side temp is. So if it is 90 degrees outside it should run 190 + degrees. Most aplications we run in doesn't get the air movement you would get on the interstate at 70mph so the + I added is for that reason.
I got a junky ass jeep with springs in the front and a poor boy 360 motor with a carb job old school ****

I was having this problem with both my coolant and trans gauge. I honestly think the gauges are wrong. I bought a laser heat gun and shot them when they read 240-250 and they were actually 190*. Now I don`t pay them no mind and just keep my heat gun in the jeep if I want to check them from time to time.

Re:
I wanted to suspect something like that as well but the gauges autometer and they've been fairly accurate in my previous dealings.
I mean a 10 degree fluctuation I could understand but when the trans is pegged 250 it kind of got me thinking.

Mine are autometer as well. I said the same thing. I changed both temp sending units. One on block and one in the trans pan. They still read wrong. All I can figure is they are off due to beating and banging around. The temp laser gum is the way to go. I shot them last year a t Harlan after the long climb to middle fork from Putney side. The coolant was pegged out and the trans read 150*. My trans always barely reads 100*. I knew that was wrong. When I got to middlefork I jumped out and lasered the thermostat housing and it was 190* and the trans coolant lines where like 194*. Both gauges where way off. I check them periodically and I`ve never seen my egine or trans over 200*.. TBI 350 and 700R4.

That climb out of Putney is always the hardest on my cooling system.

Re:
So very odd after today's ride.
The temp gauge never went above 210 today.
We did what I usually do at windrock....all the stuff you need 4wheel lo for.
Engine temps got in the 200-210 range.
It was maybe 5-10 degrees cooler today. I can't imagine that 2wd cruising would be harder than 4wd beating.
Wierd.
