Last June I was climbing El Cajon Pass out of Ontario, CA and happened to look down at the tranny temp gauge, and almost fell out of the Flextsteel captain's chair...the needle was pegged past 300 degrees! I pulled over immediately and shut 'er down. Went back to the rear and opened the passenger side engine compartment door to see if I could smell, or see any thing unusual. Nothing out of the ordinary. Went back to the driver's seat and tapped the gauge....it dropped immediately down to 120 degrees! Hardly even warmed up yet! Those gauges can make your heart skip a beat.
