It was a mixed day. I pulled my tranny coolers and now I'm down to one big one. and nothing else. I replaced the lines going to the tranny cooler and back. I was going to start the truck and check for leaks but it didn't want to start (batteries dead). I was just givin yall an update.

Here's the update. I ended up adding 3quarts of tranny fluid. Now with the one cooler my tranny temps are a little hot (running around 180 instead of 150) The hottest it has gotten was 200. I'm thinking about putting one of my large tranny coolers back on it. So i would have two large tranny coolers. My "large" tranny coolers are about 1/2 the size of the radiator. Any suggestions? Also is this temp too hot.

I have already by passed the rad cooler. I am just running the one tranny cooler. And it runs hot when i was test driving the truck again around 11 last night, the temps got up to almost 180. I was just out driving up and down on the freeway and service roads.

Went out and drove the truck today and it shifted great. (good enough to get me pulled over and issued a ticket and two warnings [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]) I dunno if there was some air in the lines or what. I felt the t/c slip once or twice but thats about it. I'm planning on upgrading the tranny. Which one should I get. Monster box, BTS, etc. Or should i keep the factory setup and just get maybe a monster box or bts T/c With a Monster box valve body?

I would drop Jon a line and save a little cash...I have PM'ed him several times and he is very informative and always responds to my silly questions. Besides OK is only about 8 hours away... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ok heres the new thing. It went into limp mode right after i set my chip to my tow program. I felt the t/c slipping some, so i was hoping to boost the line pressure without it going into limp mode. Well it shifts really hard now and it doesnt' feel too good.

You need to put the chip in stock, and reset the PCM by pulling the #9 fuse. I think with it slipping even in tow mode that TC is fried. If you are not careful you will not have a tranny before too long. Mine never went into limp mode, just had metal shaving all over the pan and wouldnt shift at all.
