the bypass in and of itself will do no harm to the transmission or fluid unless the truck is subjected to severe use such as maxed out towing loadsPV2006SE wrote: I am so hoping that I've not cooked the tranny or extremely degraded the fluid in the 900 or so miles since I had the bypass done. Like others, I just ordered a B&M 70297 cooler with fan and a Spal relay harness. Can't wait to receive it and have it installed, hoping that what I am perceiving as erratic shifting changes back to normal again. Please tell me I am not being overly paranoid in thinking that I might have done permanent damage to the tranny.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
what kind of ATF are you using, and have you checked the ATF level (per the service manual procedure) since the bypass?PV2006SE wrote:No indication whatsoever of contamination when I check the ATF. Drain and refill done at 20k, 36k and recently at 56k.
Where do I do the draing and fill. I assume the fill is the same port that is measured, right? Which plug do I pull for the drain?disallow wrote:I would do it. 4 quarts should be all you need to do one drain and fill. An extra quart on hand wouldn't hurt either.Fookn4x2 wrote:Im at 110,000 and never touched the trans other than to do the bypass. Should I do this drain and fill you guys are talking about? 4 quarts to do it?
