Anyone had any experience with the concept of increasing the oil supply to keep it cooler? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PPE-Allison-Deep-Tranmission-Pan-Duramax-Allison-1000-2000-2400-Series-128051000/121345886743?_trksid=p2047675..c100011.m1850&_trkp arms=aid%3D222008%26algo%3DSIC.MOTORS%26ao%3D1%26a sc%3D22855%26meid%3D7132067336503725629%26pid%3D10 0011%26prg%3D9833%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D12133 5643997 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. |
