I'm thinking of putting one of these on the Silverado. Anyone


had any experience with the concept of




increasing the oil supply to keep it cooler?

Followup to my last ...








I assume your Silverado has a transmission fluid temp gauge as


well as




an engine temp gauge. My Ford F-250 Super Duty does, I know. If


I were




noticing higher than normal transmission temps while towing I'd


be more




inclined to add an axillary transmission fluid cooler rather than


just




increase the capacity of the transmission pan.








If I am not mistaken your truck has the Allison transmission.


From what




I've heard, it is a superb transmission for towing ... probably


the best




thing GM has going for it in their trucks. Unless it's getting


hotter




than normal, I'd leave it alone. Just my humble opinion.












Here's an interesting and informative piece about Allison


transmissions. I'll probably just leave




mine alone for a while. I've never seen the temp get much over 200.
