Tried this under another heading (JK TALK) but got no responses so I'm reposting under modified. Thanks to Ron @ superchips I now have the nifty transmission display feature so I can monitor my temp after installing my cooler. It can display three other settings. What useful displays is everyone running?

 

I have an aeroforce gauge on my IMDB port, so I can't use my superchips simultaneously, but the aeroforce is typically set to give me my trans and water temps. My Trans has hit 256*F when on the beach (no cooler) and the trans idiot light did not come on. Not sure what the threshold is for that light?

 

How did you get that ?

 

Yeah for real? How ya doing this? Pics? Write up? Anything?

 

Ok here's a couple of shots of the display setting setup. Right now I have (going clockwise from top left) tranny temp, gear, speedo, coolant temp.
I kind of stumbled upon this in another thread.



To get this feature:
If you own a superchips, go to superchips.com/forum and register. After registering and activating account, go to this link The Official Superchips Forum • View forum - Jeep and choose the "tranny temp display" thread. Make a post to this thread requesting Ron set you up with this feature. You will need to update your superchips afterwards using superchips easy update. NOTE: This will only work IF the jeep has had the reflash at the dealer for the hot oil recall. Also, mine is an 07, I don't know if this works for other years.

 

Interesting! So is the flashpak constantly plugged in? Sorry for all the questions! I own the flashpak and have a 10' that had the trans recall by dealership putting a silly sensor in! Nice set up by the way

 

Yep, plugs into the OBD II port and then has a data logging feature that allows you to view real time stats. I don't leave it in my vehicle though, it'd be pretty easy for someone to take. with the set up I have its easy to just unplug and store in trunk. I wish I'd had this setup before installing the cooler so that I'd have some stats to compare. So far, the temp has maxed at 190 which seems pretty good. Our temps here have been in the mid to high 90s the last week or so. The real test of the cooler will be in a few weeks when I'm up in the high rockies. Last few years, I've gotten the "hot oil" message everytime I do Yankee boy basin trail. It's a lot of low speed hard pulls up the trail.
