Default SCIV

i just got my truck back from gettin the SCIV installed. everything seems ok except the trans temp was hitting 200+. i have never seen it above 180 until today. it was about 80 degrees today. is this anything to worry about?

take it back to where you got it built at, something is not right.

its running way to hot, could be clogged filters or worse, change the spin on filter and make sure u swap the onto the new one. and cut open the old one to see of its dirty.

or take it back to where you got it built at and let them deal with it.

solenoid sticking.

Could be as simple as electrical connect. Trash in valve body. Like stated before, plugged filters, etc.

Temps are higher than normal. I have a stage 4 my temps are around 190 right now. If you drive normal, temps usually are around 100 degrees over ambient temp. (w/out upgraded cooler)

The tranny shop needs to fix this.

Did you, the trans shop, or anyone reset the taps?

Right before the "agreement". Click at the top, the other box, I think its says Taps. You dont have to log onto the Allison controller to do this.
