4Lo Transmission temp.
I have gen 6 4Runner TRD offroad completely stock.
I was climbing up a trail which is 14% grade for a few miles, in about 90 degree weather and noticed my transmission temp gauge kept climbing even in 4Lo. I was probably going 3-10 MPH, slowing down and speeding up. This was the highest it ever reached. I never got a temperature warning. Attached is a photo of the gauge, typically the temp always sits at the center. I know the gauge is damped, so the gauge increases aren’t linear / correspond to specific temps.
Once it reached this point, I just put it in park and let it cool for 5 mins and then it returned to middle range temp. But after climbing for about 5 more mins, it shot right up to this temp again. Is this abnormal behavior? I thought the transmission temp was supposed to be stable when climbing in 4Lo. Not a troll post, but is it normal for your transmission to get hot in these conditions even in 4Lo? The truck just had me and less than 50 pounds of gear. I have completely stock tires as well, but was thinking upgrading to heavier, but still same size as stock, but am second guessing based on this behavior.
