Well thank you very much @OVERKILL. 👍🏻
I did not realize or think about the relief valve on the oil pump. I sincerely appreciate that.
If I experience anything like 58psi-60psi during any normal driving, I will consider dropping back a bit to 5W-30 or 0W-30 in the HPL Supercar flavor.
Thank...
Curious @OVERKILL ,,, do you know what the oil pressure was when you first poured in your HPL 0W-20 Supercar oil?
The reason I asked is because I wonder if there exists an initial difference in the HPL Supercar due to base virgin viscosity.
I did not like oil pressure below 35psi in my 5.7...
How to cool a ZF 8HP75 transmission’s temperature more quickly. A sewer fan and a yard blower.😅
Side-to-side vehicle level checked with a 2-feet bubble level.
Jacking up the truck 14 1/2” in order to obtain a level transmission.
This leveling procedure is asinine not because of the...
Hello again @slo town and @QwikKota!
I happened to take a few hours today and re-check my B&M +4 quart transmission pan gasket for any leaks. None found.
That said, I also jacked the azz-end of the RAM 1500 up in the air again to check fluid level again (in the 86-122 degree F fluid...
Gggh
My RAM used to be that way as well,,, then one day it wasn’t. At least you know that you have a modification part that works if you RAM’s transmission fluid temperature starts climbing during normal operation. 😉👍🏻
Greetings @stenerson!
Believe it or not, the B&M +4 quart transmission pan is neither painted nor powder coated. It is black anodized cast aluminum. Should outlive me and my HPL ATF Green transmission fluid. 🤣
The gasket is indeed a type of cork gasket but a bit different than the cork...
Performance Test & Check
After driving 50+ miles one way to work (80 mph), the highest transmission temperature I could create was 154 deg F. (ambient air temperature through my radiator and transmission cooler was 60 deg F over multiple trips to work).
I am quite pleased.
Getting to the OEM Transmission Heater is actually the hard part of this modification. Installing the actual bypass valve assembly is pretty easy (save snap ring removal).
If a 4WD RAM 1500 like mine, disconnection of the front driveshaft at the differential joint is necessary. Four 15mm...
