My LMM is almost always 80-100 above outside temperature, if that helps you any.

[HogAssWild]

Damn.. jus my luck

What fluid u run kyle?

 

[ripmf666]

Mine runs in the 150 to 190 area. Just up to how hot it is outside that day. Also Dex 3 on fluid.

Check your fluid level. It should be a 1/4" below full when warm...

You bought the trans used, right? Who did the build? Was it a true SC-IV kit or a "Stage 4" kit sold by someone on DF?

[HogAssWild]

Then I would verify the fluid level after you change the spin-on. Be sure to use an Allison brand filter...

Thanx for the quick replys guys:hug:

200F is typically normal in stop and go. Not to worry. New coolers should be here in July or sooner.

what mike said. Mike was tellin me when he was buildin my trans that the guys that tow all day long in those medium duty chevys duramax/allisons will see 230* day in and day out and they have 200,000+ miles on stock allisons. If they are hittin that and livin, im sure ours will be fine

 

[HogAssWild]

Put me on a list for trans cooler soon as they come in

How much are they?

 

[PhilsLB7]

Unless you have a friend at one of the local stealerships, go to Covington Diesel off of Rutledge Pike to get your trans spin on filter. I was able to buy three from them for the same price I could have bought one from the stealership.

 

[ripmf666]

Yea dealer is 33.00 ea I sell them for 10.00 and shipping

 

[HogAssWild]

Does annnybody else make a quality trans cooler... or should I jus wait on mike l?
