Just because your factory temperature gauge continues to move a little, as you drive your coach, does not mean it is going to tell you when the engine gets too hot. You have no idea what the real temp is and your transmission may be boiling with you not realizing it. I see too many people on here with problems that have no clue what is going on. These machines are 40 years old. Get real. Monitor that engine and transmission with some kind of gauge. A very minimum, in my book, is the Digipanel. It is cheap insurance. Its very easy to install. I am a gauge nut but I still have a Digipanel with the alarms just in case I fail to see a gauge go "nuts". If you see any transmission fluid on the bottom of your coach, check it every 500 miles while it is at operating temperature and in park. Do that until you get the leak fixed. Guys are losing transmissions for no good reason.
If your thermostat sticks closed a gauge or Digipanel will tell you that NOW.
Ok, back to tinkering on the GMC. So hot outside I had to come in for a glass of water. With the humidity one would think I could hydrate myself by just normal breathing. Very Happy
