    I don’t know it’s concerning for me..mine is a F350 7.3 just the other day I drove with about 1200-1500lbs in the bed (that’s another issue I need to figure out to) the temp went up to 219 it was about 80+ outside… I don’t want to think about what it would go up to pulling a 5th wheel on hot days or hills.. it’s very concerning 

    I haven't pulled my 5th wheel yet - but I did pull a flatbed with a 4 door jeep on it from San Antonio to Indiana last weekend and the transmission exhibited the same behavior - fluctuated quite a bit but it never went above 212.   My first fifth wheel trip is later in June - in South Texas where it will be a lot hotter than 80.  I'm anxious to see how it does.

  2. I've noticed a lot of fluctuation in trans temp as well.  It seems to go between 198 and as high as 212.  It always comes back down but it's odd to me that it varies that much.  And I don't see rhyme or reason to it - sometimes it rises on a dead flat road with no noticeable load on the truck (other than pulling a big heavy truck at 70+ MPH down the highway.  It concerned me the first time I noticed it, but it has always regulated itself back down.  I wonder if this same thing has happened with the 10 speed transmissions in prior years.

  3. Sorry - this may have been covered, but do all of you that are tracking your trucks - either on the US site or the Canada site - already have your VIN's?  If so, how did you get the VIN?  Did Ford let you know (like the email I got a while back that said there's still no update) or did your dealer/salesman give it you outside of the Ford correspondence?  I obviously don't have a VIN yet - ordered F350 Lariat long bed on like 10/29.   Thanks!!
