Am I next on the transmission issue list?

Does it also provide engine oil and coolant temps?

Oil temp is same as coolant temp...

I guess this is configurable? I would swap speed for boost and mount a tablet in the dash-top indentation.

I'm assuming you're addressing my post? If so, the tablet is a necessary part of the display...the analog gauge is 100% my own design so your set up is up to you. The dongle sends OBD output and some critical information like trans temp and oil pressure requires additional paid PID from the dongle company...

I think it's @ctechbob for the win here.

I forgot the trans doesn't have a skid, so I checked under it and found some drops in my driveway.

I documented my tranny's demise while back...I had a blow out similar to yours resulting in fluid that covered the whole underside of my truck...couldn't pin point the exit point other than it must've be from tranny somewhere...

What caused the demise? Over filled or 10R80 problems?

I had my issue taken care of by a reprogramming back in october and its been fine.

Thats just a temp fix. All Transmissions are faulty up till mid 2023

The usual...I ran out of warranty and it exploded like it was designed to do at 95K miles...

Ughhhhh.
I'm preparing myself for, "It is driving fine. Tech couldn't replicate the problem." Even though I have trans fluid all over the bottom of the truck. And then we'll play games until my extended warranty runs out in 2026 and I have to eat any problems.

Actually, I'm pretty hopeful. This dealership has always treated me well.

mine started only doing it when cold and sat overnight. I let the dealership hold my truck overnight to insure they could replicate the issue.

Ughhhhh. I miss my truck.

It's stupid because I work from home and it sits parked. But I still miss it!

After 10 days the truck got to come home. The shop foreman said there were no codes, and they ran a 1/4 tank of fuel out of it test driving it without any issues. His opinion was the transmission probably burped, probably because it had been overfilled. He checked the level and its fine. They're keeping the ticket open for a few days in case I have problems, but I took the truck on a long drive yesterday and didn't have any issues.

Behaving perfectly while the tech is watching...wait till it gets home...

Right!

I'm all f'ed up now on this, kinda, because I think my extended warranty runs out in May of '26. I kinda want my blend door and HVAC to go out while I have the warranty because after that, I'm gonna be screwed. But I barely drive the truck, so it's not getting wore out and breaking.
