Allison made sure that their transmissions are getting adequate cooling through the cool pack that WCC provides. Transynd on the other hand improves the properties of the fluid in the transmission and that's currently the standard fill.

The best transmission deserves nothing but the best fluid. No need in my opinion to be overly concerned about knowing exactly what temperature the transmission is running at because WCC has you covered in that respect with the abundantly large cool pack. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Don't get me wrong though. At the next tranny oil change I will use Transynd. I do believe in synthetic and use it wherever possible, however I am not going to drain perfectly good dyno just to install synthetic.

Does anyone know if the transmission temp info for the Allison 1000 is on the data bus?

I just ordered the Scangauge and was hoping I could set it for transmission temp as one of the 4 gauges it will display.

Clay - I have a scangauge and it does not read the transmission temp - hence the Augo Meter gauges in my coach.
