    10.25 or 10.5 Rearend temperature?

    Kind of an odd ball question, but anyone know what a typical temp would be just cruising around town, not loaded and WITH the stock diff cover?....

    Anyone running a diff gauge?

    Gene?...

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

    I'm working on it! You'd actually be surprised to find out how many don't know, or don't care!

    Time to get the temp labels from McMaster Carr back out....

    I have a sender in mine, but with a mag-hytec cover. normal driving, about 165deg. or so. towing my trailer over the grade (HEAVY)..... 230deg. or so.

    Its a super-easy and cheap add-on if you already have a trans temp gauge.... just get another sender and a switch to select which sender you are using. The hardest part is running the wire under the truck.
