    It is. Going to peterbilt in the morn the temp gauge for the trans isn't working . I have to get a cooler for it because it doesn't have the internal pump. But I wanted to see what temp it would run without the cooler. But I am very happy with it I don't use high gear until im empty on my way home but I run in loaded and home empty so it'll help the fuel mileage.

    If theres no pump whats the point in putting a cooler on? Oil is not going to go thru the cooler on its on without a pump.

    They told me at the trans shop they make an pump that mounts on the backside of the tranny but he didn't think I would need it but to run it to see how hot it gets. Im runnin amsoil. I put the new sensor in today and still didn't read so I looked into it farther and found that the guy that put it in apparently couldn't find the plug for the sensor took a wire put an end on it and ran it to were I wouldn't see it. It went nowhere! So now I fixed it and will see how it does.
