Temps

The other day I had transmission temps between 82°C (179.6°F) and 79°C (174.2°F).

Yesterday, Marv's 2011 PPV was running temps around 59°C (138.2°F).

Several sites say the ideal temp range is 175°F (79.4°C) to 200°F (93.3°C). 

Looking around I discovered that the 2011 doesn't have the "thermal bypass" block like the 2012+ does.  This is a thermostat that controls when fluid is allowed into the transmission cooler.

The day was hotter and it wasn't raining when I made my measurements.
