Re:Do Gen 4 Hemi 2500 have trans cooler stock?
Has anyone actually tested the temperature of the rear differential fluid after long towing events? I almost bought into the banks ram air rear diff cover, but figured that my rear differential is designed to handle a Cummins putting out 900 ft/lbs of torque, while I’m hitting it with the power...- EastWestHemi

66RFE Transmission - Thermal Bypass Install Help
the only use for the bypass is if you tow very heavy loads. When I had mine on it would take forever to warm under normal summer driving conditions, maybe 140-150 range. If your towing heavy up grades having that cooler temp will help keep you cooler as you reach the top of the mountain. Towing...- EastWestHemi

I tried the reusable filter gasket that came with it and it was a mistake, leaks. Drained and used RTV and been awesome. I knew the reusable gasket wouldn’t work because I also tried it on an older vehicle with 5-45 years ago with the same result. Can’t beat the RTV.- EastWestHemi

Re:Do Gen 4 Hemi 2500 have trans cooler stock?
I have the mag-hytec 45/545 pan that is +2 quarts on my 66rfe. Works great. Has a drain plug, cooling fins. I have read that aftermarket pans like these add a lot of rigidity and strength to the transmission. I am not sure if it was the pan adding the rigidity or if it was the steel threaded...- EastWestHemi

66RFE Transmission - Thermal Bypass Install Help
When I had mine installed it was running 140-150 at the hottest in 100 degree temps. I took it off when I moved back to the very cold northern state three years ago. I have the mag hytec pan which also provides cooling and is an extra two quarts.- EastWestHemi

Siphon transmission fluid
I used a pump like this to changed my fluid a few times on my old 545rfe when I didn’t want to drop the pan. Seemed to work pretty good. Tube slides right down into the pan- EastWestHemi

I have Falken A/T’s on mine. Probably 25k miles on so far and will get another 15-20k out of them. The original firestones were slicks after 23k miles.- EastWestHemi
