Update on my rv trials. Pulling a 4000 loaded Vista Crusier camper with my 2020 AWD telluride. Power is no issue. Avg mpg 14 and Normal Temps with Scan gauge 2. Average engine coolant 210, motor oil temp 220, hp reading stays around 80 On a level pull at 65. Trans fluid temp normally stays...

Per the inter-web the acceptable range for an engine to run at sits between 195 degrees and 220 degrees Fahrenheit.

Not concerned as the dash temp gauge has always been on the cool side, its probably due to where the sensor is located. If its in the discharge path going to the radiator that could be quite normal as it will be the hottest there. The idea is not to worry so much about the initial readings, just...

If you sustain 225F or better the fluid will most likely be harmed.

Maybe this will help, these are the driving around town readings I got today.

I I got the scan gauge to work on the Telluride! I have these readings set and working on my screen: Engine Oil Temp, Trans Fluid Temp, Water Temp and Horsepower. The codes for Engine Temp and Trans Fluid Temp are attached. Now I can get some baseline readings to compare against when I tow. I...

Yes I have, I can make what I want to work except for transmission fluid temperature. The Hyundai/KIA engine oil temp code worked but not the multiple transmission codes that the manufacturer listed on their web site. I will try them all again to make sure I didn't enter the codes wrong. I like...

I ordered a OBD ScanGauge SG2 II Ultra today. The company says they have a Xgauge downloadable file that will display the transmission temperature on the Telluride as well as engine load. I will post how it works and provide some normal and under tow data when we get our camper.

Has anyone used an ODB tool to monitor the transmission temperature while towing? If so, which one? We are getting a 3300 lb. camper soon and would like to know if the transmission cooling is adequate on long road trips.
