Truth is, they already can track vehicles

I took a little deeper dive today into the filter material. The brown material from the smaller area has a feel of fabric and is coarser and thicker than the other one. It does not have any backing but the pleats are held tightly in place by the plastic as is the other side. I did note some very...

my 2005 was way more work. The LLY with no mods would run 245 degrees on level ground at 80 degree ambient temp towing just a little over half of its rated capacity. I should have forced a lemon law buy back but family crisis got in the way.

I just drove the truck earlier today about 20 miles in 93 degree heat and it never went above 124 degrees. This one has always run cool even when towing but it wasnt this cool before.

Its an upgrade kit to correct deficiencies in the OEM part. This explains it all. https://nextgendiesel.com/collections/10l1000-valve-bodies/products/allison-10-speed-billet-valve-body-upgrade-kit I tow with my truck a lot and plan on keeping this one for quite a while so I figured this was...

All I know is what I see and both sides arent the same, I am just guessing at this point. I am not surprised to see a dual element though. I dont see any difference in the surface of the material. It does look like one might be denser though.

Both my vehicles are hard wired and the cameras come on if the vehicle is jarred. They often sit for a week with no issues. I dont think the draw is much.

here are a couple of pics of the filter I pulled from my 2025 Silverado HD 3500 with the Duramax engine. It was removed because I was installing a Next Gen drivetrain valve body kit. The truck has about 5600 miles on it with over half of that pulling a 13K fifth wheel. The first thing I noticed...

Not that I have seen.

The 160 may be the temp that the cooler thermostat opens at. That will provide flow throughout the entire system and 160 would be adequate to account for the slight fluid expansion when hot. Any check should be done above that (which you are already doing) Sounds like youve got it handled.

I cant recall where I saw it but I recall it was more shear stable

Got my card today, Thanks Duckless.

We always used a NLGI 2 lithium EP for all our chassis, brake and u-joints in every vehicle we had from pickups to class 8 trucks. In the 14 yrs I was responsible for it we never had a failure.

Youre right, trust is hard to earn and easily lost. No matter what the system I dont want it.

Cylinder deactivation unfortunately is here to stay for the forseeable future. General Motors is changing its cylinder deactivation technology for next-generation V8 overhead-valve engines (expected to be the Gen VI small block) by moving the deactivation mechanism from the lifter to the...
