    Transmission filters?

    Working at Advance Autos part time, I compared our Driveworks/ProKing China Filters to the few China made AC Delco filters and to me, the media padding on the lower prices filters were not as tightly wound as the AC Delcos. The Delcos media looked thicker and better made. Example (Cheaper...

    When I needed a trans filter for my 4L80E I wanted a USA made one and the ONLY one I found was an ACDelco. Granted I am sure some of their filters are china made, but when looking , I saw that the wix and also the napa was china as well. Surprised me.

    How long with Mobil 1 in the Diff.

    I swapped out the 65K mile origional Synthetic lube in my 06 2500 HD, put in Mobil 1 and was wondering with towing all summer long if I should swap it out again at 100K Easy to do as the front and rear diffs both have drain plugs. Just wondering if I am throwing money away since it takes quite a...

    Maxlife or VI for 06 Silverado HD?

    I assumed the Maxlife over 75K ATF was made for transmissions that have some wear and tear on them. Extra additives to prevent leaking seals and maybe more friction modifiers? If it was perfect for newer transmissions why would valvoline make a specific Dex VI when ML takes care of VI as well...

    Maxlife or VI for 06 Silverado HD?

    I just didnt know if the Maxlife was made for more of an ailing transmission and putting it in my perfectly good working one would cause some counter effects. I've heard of additives to swell seals and I didnt know if that would swell my good seals causing it to leak. But then again I've heard...

Transmission is the 4L80E. There...
