Good day all!!

So, I was doing some research and found out that it is recommended that the engine and trans temp hover around the 100 deg Celsius range... Trans temp a little cooler, but anyway... So, I figured I would try something with the weather getting colder... I put the original EGS unit back in the trans... I went to the TSO concert here in Greenville last night, so I didn't get to fill the trans right away... I did that today, albeit a little on the low side cause I didn't have my temp teller hooked up... I'll top it off the half quart or less tomorrow...

So, I had it running and got it up to temp tonight, (I'm guessing as it was running for a good while...) It never faulted out... I'm going to top off the fluid to specs and keep the computer in the vehicle while I bring it up to it's operating temp tomorrow... If it doesn't fault out due to the fluid temp staying below 110 deg C, I'm putting an additional trans cooler on it ASAP!! If this works, I will have a spare trans for it!! Maybe I should go thru the spare, just to be ready in the event the original one fails...

Oh my, would it ever be so amazing to get to use the X5!! Well, I'll keep everyone posted!! Wish me luck!!!

Cheers all!!
