    Low RPM Trans Slip? 8HP70

    @TheEnder you may be 100% correct in that its "normal". My issues with this are: 1) there are many knowledgeable guys on here, even some techs, where if this were normal it would have been solved shortly after my post (same as all the other posts where people are seeing this. 2) i have talked to...

    BioTech LubeGuard

    Ill admit up front i did not read all the posts in here. I have been running lubeguard in my last 2 oci. TBH i havent noticed anything out of the ordinary for benefits. My thought was to see if it would help with my cold temp start up chatter. it didnt really do anything. i continued to run it...

    Low RPM Trans Slip? 8HP70

    I dont have much to update here, but i can make a few comments. About 1000 miles ago i drained fluid and refilled with mopar. next drive it was noticeably better. less slip, and in spots it slipped before, there was none. No, it slips like it did before the swap. at some point ill do another...

    Synthetic Oil

    Ok guys. I've been busy with moving into our new house, and now as I type this I'm in the hospital with my wife in early labor. I came into this thread with 15 pages to come current. I tried to read thru it all but couldn't. Skipped to this page. Anyway, in this whole moving fiasco I was able to...

    Synthetic Oil

    Ok so I may be that dummy. So I have done 2 oil changes on the wife's 09 Yukon Denali using qsud. Has 99.6k miles now. Maybe 600 miles into this oci. I have not been able to do an analysis on it since we have bought it. Should I stay with qsud and see what the uoa says? Or not be the dummy and...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    I have a 14 5.7. purchased at 69k. when I first switched to redline I went 7500 miles and did a used oil analysis with tbn reading. I was told to go on out to 10k. Second oil change was at 8130. I did another uoa with tbn and was again recommended to go to 10k. I'm not exactly comfortable going...

    For those who have answered and will answer/respond, who lives in a snow state? For those of us who deal with snow and ice, that feedback would be great as our conditions do not exactly compare to Arizona (no offense).

    8 speed tranny shudder/clunk/stutter

    Please edumacate us all. Dealers rarely touch these transmissions, remember "lifetime fluid". You are hearing and reading of people having issues after switching to redline oil? Please share that information with us. How about uoa's showing more wear from redline? Any of that? What exactly are...

    Synthetic Oil

    I'm def going with 0w this fall or whenever my next oil change runs me. I may hold off on lubeguard this time and just go 7.5 qts 0w30. I want to be able to compare just the oil itself. Will also stay with the rp 20820 filter. I'm very happy with them.

    Synthetic Oil

    Makes me want to get a PS4 just for that. The last of us on PS3 was amazing. Ps5 must be close to coming out, if it isn't already.

    8 speed tranny shudder/clunk/stutter

    I will also get a shudder shifting 2nd into 3rd..but it's not every time. Sometimes it's nice and smooth. Other times it's there, some times worse than others. I have not been able to get anywhere with the shudder as far as thoughts on here. I think it may be torque converter. Some suggested a...

    Synthetic Oil

    I've been about timberland pros over the last few years. In particular the pit boss. For around $100 the have been a good value. I'm on concrete all day and my feet never hurt. This summer my feet are hot. I do not remember them being this hot last year. I typically get a year out of them. I...

    Current truck is a 14 with 8hp70. So when I changed it last summer I purchase 2 gallons from Nick. I lifted rear to level trans. Dropped pan, let trans drip for a bit. Put new pan on and pumped one of the gallons. Fluid came out a bit So i stopped. Got truck back on the ground and drove it to...

    8HP70 Transmission and Seafoam Hydra Trans Tune

    I'm really kicking myself for not remembering when my trans started to slip. I bought the truck at the beginning of January 2019. Dropped pan and refilled with redline that June/July. I don't remember it slipping before the swap, but I cannot say for sure it wasn't. 3 weeks ago I drained fluid...

    8HP70 Transmission and Seafoam Hydra Trans Tune

    Atp offers a great product at a great price. Not sure how much that ppe unit costs you, but they usually are not cheap. You are putting it very mildly saying the space between exhaust and pan is close. There are varying clearances here. When I did mine, I barely got my stock pan out. I ended up...

    1320 torque convertor upgrade

    How would one go about diagnosing a failing tc? As little as dealers work on these trans, I don't want to be their guinea pig for half assed diagnostic work. Would a failing tc show metals in trans fluid or would that be trans related?

    8 speed tranny shudder/clunk/stutter

    start your truck, shift to drive and push the buttons to whatever max gear you want. no mds. i do this every time i drive my truck. i cannot stand mds. i dont see how anyone can enjoy driving their truck with that crap. Sounds like the truck is driving under water to me. And yes, i can feel it...

    are there any actual cases out there that have paid out to someone who switched to their fluid?

    8HP70 Transmission and Seafoam Hydra Trans Tune

    @Tim Garceau I'm not saying you are wrong in any of this. Just curious of your opinion...why would Jay or MMX say they not recommend everyone go to Mopar fluid? I don't see how they would benefit either way. I don't remember if it was Jay or MMX, but they said they have seen slip issues go away...

    8HP70 Transmission and Seafoam Hydra Trans Tune

    Depends.....it varies by dealer. I called the closest dealer to me at work as i drive by often. I was planning on stopping buy and picking mine up. their price.....$43 a quart. i called 2 other dealers that are also local to my house, both were $30. talk about crazy markup. this is the bigger...

    8HP70 Transmission and Seafoam Hydra Trans Tune

    i reached out to mmx and Jay Greene, both recommended stock fluid to me. Im stock with 4" lift and 35x12.5 tires. I have a book i keep notes of oil changes, catch can dumps, tire rotations etc in. but im kicking myself now for not knowing when these symptoms began. I truly do not remember. its...

    8 speed tranny shudder/clunk/stutter

    i commented in the other thread as well. i have a 14 8 speed. last summer i changed my fluid and filter/pan. i went to redline fluid, to save money and at the time mostly everyone was on the bandwagon of looking elsewhere vs mopar or zf fluids where they are so expensive. fast forward to say 6...
