    Engine oil temp not working when cold

    Thanks everyone for the info. My local dealership is checking into it, so I'll post what they say later.

    Engine oil temp not working when cold

    Each morning after starting my oil temp reading is <122F and stays there until it heats up above 122F. From that point it appears to work properly. Has anyone experienced this before? Below is image of my gauge summary just after starting.

    Wierd 68 rfe shifting

    My 2018 SRW, once warmed up will downshift about the same as yours on a steep incline. 5mph drop and it downshifts with the typical shift flare of unlocking the converter. Going down hill it does not down shift unless I the cruise control is ON. Exhaust brake is always ON, but not AUTO. Tow/Haul...
