hello all! Got my truck a month ago and I noticed a leak this evening coming from the drivers side. All fluids look okay. But it seems my transmission fluid has been between 180-195 degrees. Is that normal? Seems high to me. It appears that there is a fine coating of fluid covering everything under the hood. Any suggestions? It’ll be going into the shop it’s covered under warranty but I’ve got work all this week wondering if it’s okay to drive.

If you have the 8sp transmission that temp is normal.

Normal operating temperature range for the 8 speed is 170-200°F. When towing as long as the the transmission temp is below the coolant temp it's good.

From a former ED owner, the Temps on tranny are right on. So U need to look and see if you can determine where the leak is coming from??? Incredible stupid here, but is your oil cap on, and tight? Also if PCV is loose can at times send oil places, Things to check.

According to his profile, he as a 15 ED, which comes with the 8 Speed HP70 trans. I had a 15 ED prior to Hemi...
