    Just the regular Edge CS, I use the tuner as my speedo, my analog one on the dash I know is off due to gears and tires. Trans should be the same one as you.

    Thats fine dylan....Im just sayin I cant wait to see what 37s will look like.

    Its all synthetic, I dont remember what it is though. It runs like normal. I do want to put a super duty cooler on it just to make sure it stays plenty cool.

    The texas heat is a big factor when it comes to cooling engine/tranny. I took out my efans because they weren't very trusting. With my mechanical fan my engine runs at 208ish and tranny runs about 165ish. Normally its about 80* over outisde temp for tranny. I've been told 100* over outside temp is normal so basically anywhere from 160-200 is a good range for a tranny. Somebody can chime in if I'm wrong.

    Thats one reason why I still have my stock fan, Id rather not chance it with cooking my engine. If there was a kit all plug n play, as ling it was professionally installed, they covered the fans and my engine I would be tempted.. But I dont think anyone does lol

    Trans temps are usually normal, 170 empty and around 200 when towing anything, but I would like that little extra insurance with a bigger cooler
