over here in Canada both redline and amsoil are comparable in price around the $20-22 per qt before shipping. thats not a bad price out my way. I haven't heard anything bad about either brand but am doing more reading on redline as i haven't heard a lot about it. so far it claims to lower...

that's good enough for me. i might look up rp for entertainment reasons but i know i can order amsoil for a reasonable price.

thanks everyone. i only have 2 qts of the house brand so i may just use it in the front. not attached to any brand but what's wrong with RP?

I have a 2009 Sierra 4x4 1500. I just had the differential gears changed from 342 to 410s. after brake in I plan to change out the oil. i bought some house brand synthetic 75 90 I'll prob take back. just google searching it looks like amsoil and royle purple are the top 2. I know I'll use...

that's interesting, I didn't even know the pwm was a thing. it sounds like changing those values reduces clutch slip in the tcc? I'll need to take some time and lean more about the system. thank you for all this advice.

it sounds like towing is hard on the tc clutch.

thanks i didn't realise the converter locks up so often. also looks like pretty friendly software. would it let me disable the converter lockup just in tow haul mode?

that answers my question regarding another trans cooler. I've been keeping it out of D when pulling i thought the converter didn't lock up in 3rd? I'll read up on software, I hadn't thought of what any sort of tuning could do for my situation. I don't know if im good enough to drop a valve...

Originally Posted by supton Yeah, I've been hearing that you need to keep it under 180F for it to last--yet some of the transmissions died if you looked at them funny.

i blame the shift pints though i do back off the gas when it downshifts. sounds like a 2 stroke at 3500 rpm

i should probably add im not a fan of revving engines and dont let mine get much over 3000 rpm. I'm probably lugging the particular engine....

im not sure if it has the tow package. it came stock with a little trans cooler as well as a power steering oil cooler. no engine oil cooler though. with my current set up ive never gotten it up to 190 running empty, even pulling my trailer on the highway temps would be in the 160s and hit 180...

it helped. my truck is rated to pull 5400 lbs. even though im staying within spec i think im pushing it too hard. even if i add a bigger cooler i still have a transfer case, little 8.6 diff and no engine oil cooler. I bought a slightly bigger travel trailer then i intended. my current plan is...

hmmm not sure if im understanding correctly. i have the fan on the cooler in a push configuration. my set up goes front grill, fan with shroud, cooler then a pretty big space between the cooler and radiator. when the cooler fan is running i can put my hand behind it and it feels like hot air...

thanks. no shims just "thrust washers" and they are exactly the same thickness.
