Agreed! which is why I've done the tranny cooler bypass.eieio wrote:The symptoms of the trans oil/coolant contamination problem seem to vary, probably dependent upon the severity of contamination, and time/mileage elasped since the on-set.
At least it's easy to determine if it is a problem, and as horribly expensive as this issue can be, it seems prudent to make that determination right away.
And if it is a problem, waiting to diagnose (and do something about it) can only cause more damage.
It could mean the difference in cost of a few fluid flushes vs. a transmission overhaul.

No surprise there!disallow wrote:Spoke to couple transmission shops this week. They had never heard of this issue, and questioned why I would bypass the cooler. Didn't even know the truck has the aux cooler.
Lotsa Luck!disallow wrote:Hopefully I will find someone who knows what the hell they are talking about, as I would like to add some coolers and don't have the time/wherewithal to do it myself right not.
Tech - I'm confused by what you mean with the 05/06's. That the "delay" is normal? Did some searches (on this forum) but came up blank. Wrong search words...or site(s)?Tech wrote:it's a trait of the 08. 05/06 are the most direct drive feeling. do a search and you'll see....i've been working on this for a while
