    At what temp does the A.T oil temp light come on (88 FJ62)?

    Gotcha, good luck. The AT is the fj62's Achilles heel.. But some small tweaks will make them pretty bulletproof as well. @orangefj45 I believe also sells rocket Rodney's upgraded valve body, among other upgrades it has a 3rd gear lock up. That's is next on my list.

    At what temp does the A.T oil temp light come on (88 FJ62)?

    I would say no, since they come from the factory with a couple of magnets in the pan. Does the trans drain plug have a magnet even? Something is better than nothing. I'm just going overboard with everything on the transmission.. hoping I can keep it alive!

    Welcome! and good luck For the same reason there are magnets on your diff and transfer case plugs. Its catches all the tiny metal parts that come off the gears from usages over time. Prevents things from wearing faster and plug things up. Every other engine oil change I'll change out the...

    Sure thing: Either the m12x1.5 or M14x1.5 fits in the idiot light sensor and reduces it to 1/8 npt in below Adapter set. Adapter From there I used this gauge, which has held up well under corrugations. Gauge I repurposed the radio real estate for outlets and the trans gauge since I hook up my...

    Interesting, yeah. And you install a cooler on all of these? This weekend I drove about 200 miles offroad in 90 degrees or so, and a long uphill highway trip from St.George to Cedar City, Utah. Managed to get the trans temp up 210 degrees or so pushing 3rd gear for a long time. I've got this...

    Welcome! yeah good luck. If you take care of these AT's, they'll last even doing 3rd gear on highway 15 here most of the time ;)

    I have not tried any Dexron number from Toyota to be fair. I've had my 62 for about 10 years and did a passive flush to synthetic straight away after reading Rodney his comments here on Mud. Heat being the main challenge. The issue I kept finding was how thin some of these synthetics are. And...

    At what temp does the A.T oil temp light come on (88 FJ62)?

    Pretty dire.. Its 275 degrees I believe. I overheated as well last July crossing a macker of a mountain pass in 2nd gear. Here's what you do to keep the trans on the 62 alive for as long as possible: - Drain your current fluid, its burned.... - Remove the pan, so you can clean the filter and...
