    Here is how I check my ATF fill level, keep in mind I have a sloped driveway that allows me to get the Transmission, not just the truck, level: ***** I AM NOT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC! PERFORM THE BELOW AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION What worked for me might not necessarily work for you.***** 1. The...

    8hp70 heater bypass

    I had to run to Cleveland for a few weeks and take care of family. The good news is that my Transmission temps never exceeded 195 Degrees F, no mods(no eliminator installed). The better and most unexpected news was my MPG went from 16.5-17 to 19.5-20. -now a one tank trip from Cleveland to DC...

    I don't know how you drive or how long your trips are, but I set my cruise and go. I will use my cruise to adjust my speed, so more than once I looked down and saw my RPM's up and realized I inadvertently shifted to a lower gear. The +- gear buttons are right above my cruise control buttons on...

    Might just keep an eye on it and if it happens again you know the general RPMs and verify the gears. In the past was the AC on in both directions or just one? I have notice my temps will run hotter by about 10 degrees with max AC and a lot of heavy acceleration, but that is at hoghway speed...

    If you can do the eliminator the fluid is easy. Again, the videos and most of the writeup make it sound a lot more involved. Because of the temp range limits it only takes about 5-10 minutes if you prep it. The biggest problem for me was the fill plug was so tight it strpped, also the exhaust...

    @hawsk99gt, is the transmission still inder warranty? Are you doing the work on your transmission or is the shop? Did you install @caulk04 eliminator or did the shop? Have you checked the fluid level yourself? I had a stuck fill plug, but used the hammer and punch method and came right off...

    @hawsk99gt, A bag or lose rag floating around in the grill blocking the condenser at higher speeds then blowing off when you slow down. What gear was it in when it jumped to 235. On mine it is easy to manually shift to a lower gear when seting the cruise and once you slow the shifting returns...

    @pacofortacos, This makes a sense to me after doing some high speed rapid acceleration testing. I just replaced the Transmission Heater Assembly and have an OEM stock thermostat in the Heater Assembly and the stock 203 degree thermostat in the engine. With outside temperature in the 80's, my...

    @Fritter great info. I tell people I have a hot truck and they think it is my ego, yet none has disagreed with me, after I show them my temps. -Lol A lot going on with my 2014 RAM 1500 4x4. Just starting with what I think is the hottest iron in the fire (pun intended), the 250 degree...

    @Fritter Great information. How did the fluid look when you drained the excess? Also, not sure I fully understand the AGS disablement decreasing temps. My understanding is they start in the shut position and open at approx 200 degrees. So by disabling them (removing the fuse) wouldn't that...

    Dan, I did the same thing yesterday, OEM part from MOEPARTSINC(transmission Heater Assembly 68463479AA)was only $139.00. Did your unit come with the plastic heater tubes, or steel and O-rings? -The tubes that go between the transmission and the assembly (under the bigger plastic cover in your...
