I'd rather a business man with a temper than a drama teacher who is bringing in a million immgrants in times of near depression and head deep in few year old recession. Let's keep our people working and busy before letting more in...

If only Trump was just a businessman with a temper. I don't disagree with you on some of the liberal policies but the PCs never did me any favours either so I'm neither here nor there on Canada's leaders.

Not the place to put this i know, but my Torque Converter rattle on my 65RFE completely stopped when i added a bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix in it, and it’s shifting a fuckton better. Shifting and sounding better than when it was new, and i currently have 452K miles on the truck on the dot.

Have you followed temps on evic before and after. I had a shudder, and when I went to reldine c+, same thing shudder went away. I used to drive in tow haul just because of shudder, I no longer drive in tow haul and have no shudder since my move over to c+. I think the Mopar atf is lacking. My trans temps hover around 131/2 and don't get over 145f since last summer, even after driving 150 miles.

My temps are the same, today going up a grade it reached the hottest it’s ever been (never went up this hill before) of 129. It usually stays at around 120. A few days ago it was 45F outside and the engine wouldn’t heat up past 180 unless i started to actually drive it lol.

Lucas trans fix is operating temp at 48

So if you call it a qrt added to a sump that takes 14 quarts, it wont be boosting trans fluid up too highly as far as viscosity goes.

Somewhere around cst 9.3, and consider trans fix is not a full quart it is even less then 9.3. So my point is trans fix added to rfe is not the same thing as adding lucas oil stabilizer to oil, it doesn't change operating visc drastically. I'm making no statements what to recommend, just stating facts, clearly it worked for one member already.

Where the neodymium magnets were on the WixXP I cut open.960b8dece1f7d9c5a13afcb8adc47c3f.jpg

You're putting the magnets in the wrong place.

Where you have it now is before the oil goes into the filter..

Also, anything you see is just what is attracted to the magnet while the motor is off. The speed and the pressure prevents catching anything while on.

If you want to protect your engine you should place them after the oil goes into the filter. Then you will see if the filter is missing anything.

Try this. Put a lot of magnets on the bottom of your oil pan. Remove them just before you drain the oil. The flow of the oil should take out much of anything caught on the bottom.

Fill up oil and replace the magnets.

This is the same idea of a magnet in a transmission pan. No one put magnets on a transmission filter.

The Allison 1000 has a magnet on the filter.

It doesn't have to do with viscosity. It addresses problems that can be attributed to worn transmission bands, worn clutches, and clogged valve bodies.
