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.
