    yeah my aeroforce reads 162-165 and my dash reads like 170-175 so like said before i trust the aeroforce readings. Those are right from the pcm.

    my tep gague is way off, i trst the aeroforce, plus if you watch the aeroforce get close to 180* and watch the needle on the dash cluster, it jumps back down once the thermostat opens, however it still doesnt read the right temps.

    Must be an issue with the GP cluster because mine is spot on.

    my Aeroforce when set to trans temp is around 160* and my autometer electrical trans temp reads 110*, seems like autometer is worthless as well.

    Depends on where it's being measured. The stock sender is way in the transmission where it matters.

    i installed the sender where the factory threaded port hole is on the top of the transmission, under the throttle body. I didnt think it was to accurate. I would drive for a few hours and the hottest it would get is around 140*. The aeroforce was up around 165ish 170ish. Uninstalled autometer and now just the aeroforce. How would i know if the case learn i did on the aeroforce worked or not?

    If you don't have a code, it must've worked.
