    Adding Oil Cooler

    I’ve seen a single thread where a fella pulled oil off his oil filter relocate kit and routed to a cooler. I’m a little surprised that there doesn't appear to be a cooler already installed on my 21 5.7L. Have the 3.92 rear end and good for 11.4k on towing. Figured if anything had a cooler, I...

    PPE pan 8HP75

    Spoke too soon. Very slight leak. Double checked all bolts for torque. Guessing one of the sleeves from the old pan didn’t seat. If it’s still doing it in a couple of weeks, will loosen and retorque all 12. Of problem still persists, will drain and drop. Fun times.

A little anxious about that because I don’t want to jack transmission up. And because I hate making a mess and my...

    8hp70 heater bypass

    Still sitting on mine. Bought the MaxCare plan right after I purchased the transmission thermostat so have been reluctant to install. These transmissions so rarely have issues, I’m contemplating tossing it in anyhow. If it ***** the bed, it will be after the 125k warranty anyhow because of the...
