2001 F-150 with the 5.4:
So, since I've installed a new tranny cooler (bypassed the radiator, mounted cooler on front of radiator), when the car is cold started the oil temp light will come on and the oil pressure gauge doesn't move. As soon as the car warms up and the temperature gauge moves, the oil temperature light turns off and the oil pressure gauge immediately moves to the middle.
Sometimes the light doesn't come on if the weather is really hot as well.
What is the deal?

Would the tranny cooler be setting off any lights though?

Also, it doesn't seem to affect the performance of the truck at all either. Runs the same when warm or cold.
