I a am deathly scared that the tranny will fail, no sign yet but have had it go on other vehicles in the past and it's not pretty.
So my question is this:
I live in Alberta, the winter is coming and it sometimes gets down to -50. Definitely will get to -30 c.
Will it still be safe to do the bypass on the tranny?
any radiator with this design can possibly fail in this mannerDiBo wrote:Is there a radiator yet that will ensure no mixing?
Or is it just hope that the new one I buy will be better than the one I have already?
is it bad that my trans temp gauge holds at like 145-160 normally?smj999smj wrote:If you're going to see temps that cold, I would replace the radiator rather than do the bypass method. ATF is best run in the 175-200 degrees F. and one of the jobs of the radiator integral cooler is to warm the ATF when it gets too cold.
I live near winnipeg, we have the same weather issues.DiBo wrote:I live in Alberta, the winter is coming and it sometimes gets down to -50. Definitely will get to -30 c.
