This posting is to report my recent experience traversing the mountains in southern Oregon and northern California. My Silverleaf normally shows the engine water temperature at 188 degrees and the transmission a few degrees higher. Crossing these mountains, the engine reached 214 and the transmission 237, which seems very high. Interestingly, the transmission increased going down the mountain with the Jake on. My transmission manual states that there is not a problem when the temperature is less than 250, and this may be higher since I use synthetic. My engine manual does not state a maximum temperature, but I suspect it is around 220 or 225. I anyone knows the answer, please post.
