I just purchased a new travel trailer which weighs in at about 6500 lbs loaded. I know that the trans in these 3rd gens is a solid build, but I want to provide as much protection as possible. I would rather be over cautious than replacing a transmission 2 years from now. I have a 2007 Hemi with 135k miles. Here are my questions and possible solutions, I am hoping to have some feedback here.
The truck has the smaller aux cooler for the transmission, should I add another in front of the condenser? This wouldn't take much work and would be under $75. Would it be helpful and provide a noticable change?
I have read that some add a spin-on transmission filter and manifold. I am a big believer in extra filtration, but would this addition be worth the money?
Third, I am really really wanting to keep an eye on trans fluid temps. I have a superchips 3865 and it shows an option to monitor the temps from the NGC3 sensors, but every time I try it only shows a blank screen. I currently have an email in with superchips tech support and hope to have an answer soon. If I can't monitor the temps that way, should I just invest in a sensor and gauge? I could monitor the temps on the line out from trans to get the hottest reading.
Thanks for any help. I am really ticked that I paid almost $400 for the 3865 and it wont show my trans temps. I hope superchips can help out there. Any advise is appreciated!
