    Typical threads on universal ATF remote filter head?

    If it’s a 3/4-16 filter head, I ran a Napa 1269 on my old Tacoma for a few years before I traded it. It’s a fairly efficient filter and has a low psi bypass valve.

    Battery Charger Testing Results

    Anybody else using the motopower charger/maintainer? I’ve been wanting a charger that will float at 13.6v for my AGM batteries. My battery tenders only float at ~13.2v, which is a little low in my opinion. However, I do have an 8.5 Ah SLA battery in a portable air compressor that is 9 years old...

    Lubeguard Platinum on a Ford 6R80, could not have hoped for better results.

    I put 14oz of LG Platinum in an A750F in a 2010 Tacoma with about 50k miles on it and it made a noticeable difference in shift quality. Upshifts feel quicker and firmer (more of a positive feel) than before. It has always shifted good but now it feels even better.

    The Duralast axle failed last night after about 26,000 miles in service. It didn’t come apart but it pops loudly on turns. I ordered an OEM GM axle from Summit to replace it. I’m gonna see if Autozone will warranty the Duralast and I’ll keep the replacement Duralast on the shelf for a spare.

    I thought it might be for a 2011 Duramax. They are bad about eating TCM’s for some reason.

    post your latest transmission lubricant change.

    The fluid was very black and burnt when I dropped the pan and changed the filter 2 years ago. The pan didn’t have anything in it that concerned me and the magnet didn’t look too bad. The plan was to do a few drain and fills over a few days following the initial pan drop to cycle some fresh fluid...
