    Car and Truck 8 speed temperature differances

    I couldn't decide which option I wanted, so that's why i removed the thermostatic spring valve behind the plastic end plug. This is an observation since the removal. The valve controls the flow from both the heater and the cooler. When removed the transmission gets FULL flow heat and FULL flow...

    Car and Truck 8 speed temperature differances

    I removed the thermostat valve, I wanted to see what would happen before I installed the revmax retrofit. I have driven about 100 miles since removed and haven't gotten a CEL yet.

    Back to stock exhaust

    Mufflex makes kits for the drone suppression. I myself made my own j-pipe very similar to their kit. I was able to reduce the drone at certain rpms, but it wasn't enough. The range at which it controls the drone is very narrow. Ultimately, I switched from the mufflex DOD24 with the j-pipe to...

    Corsa Exhaust Question

    Mine don't hang as low as that picture at all. I don't have a pic on hand. I get one when I get off work.

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    I've flushed ws fluid from my Toyota before. That came out really clean looking at 60k miles. When I first drained the 8 speed I wasn't expecting it to be so dark. When I saw it just as dark again, I didn't account for the dye affecting the appearance of the fluid. It did smell like fresh...

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    Not a bad idea on removing the crushed y-pipe. You think a shop can make one from scratch or should I order one?

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    Thanks for the advice, I'm doing some research on fitment. I had read a review that the stock y-pipe had to be removed then reinstalled. I was hoping it would clear with stock setup, but I may have a muffler shop readjust that pipe lower. I do plan on getting long tubes,but that's way down...

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    Yes samples from 8 speed. The fluid doesn't smell burnt but it's too dark for my liking. I really want to change the pan next along with the filter. I'm looking at a PPE aluminum pan with extra capacity and replaceable filter.

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    I went ahead and did another drain and fill. It's been 5k miles since the last one (at 30k miles with D6 fluid). I followed the advice to lift the rear end to level the transmission. I was able to get an extra 1/2 -3/4qt, by raising the rear end about 3 ft!. I've driven the truck for a week...

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    I remember having the bump when you come to a stop like its been described on the forum somewhere, but I think that was due to my shift relearn.(I disconnected the battery for a few hours for the relearn) The bump disappeared after some time and I don’t notice it anymore.

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    In order to get all my fluid back in, the truck had to be running and cycle thru park and drive a few times.

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    I see, in my case I hope the lines weren’t empty because I didn’t run it up to temp. Definitely adding this to my notes, for my next drain and fill.

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    I don’t remember checking fluid level at that high of a temperature. I need to look it up again, only recall checking between 80F-120F.

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    I checked the fluid level with the truck standing on its own.(no jacks) I wanted the the fluid be set to the point at which it would always be when operating... truth be told, I didn’t know about the procedure of leveling the trans by lifting the rear until after I changed my fluid. So far the...

    Redline Trans & Diff Fluid?

    Yes, factor fill at 30k mi. Mostly highway driving with no towing. (I average 20k miles a year) I performed a drain and fill with redline d6 after I took that sample and expect to do another at 50k mi.

    Anyone use 5W30 instead?

    Our trucks are identical. I use 5w30 PUP with 1-2 quarts of 0w40 PUP with no problems. Also use RP 20-820 filter

    Corsa Exhaust

    Borla was something I was seriously considering. I really like the sound. I only went with corsa because they advertised "no drone".

    Corsa Exhaust

    Corsa is louder at cold start. Any other time they are both the same. I liked the sound of the magnaflow, has a deeper tone. Corsa technology filters out the deep tones. The best way to put it; magnaflow sounds like a growling beast, corsa sounds like a wildcat. The tech put into making the...
