Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 285825, member: 1451"] You can get the tuner you choose to lock the convertor whenever you want. Change the.trans fluid. That will tell you a lot about the condition of.the trans. Id.rather.do that and know if.its.about to shti the bed. If you are going to need to upgrade to a new trans Id save the 6.0 cooler for.that. My buddy has a e99 eclb 7.3 and he's got all this frikkin shti to make his truck.last and he used to.call me and.say the.dumbest shti. "95° today, ridin around with the ac on, and trans never got above 170." Id be pulling.a.10k lb trailer with a lowly trucool on my frontend and my transtemp would be.180. He badgered me to let him pull my trailer so he could "show me that his.runs cooler". His truck with less power and two frikkin coolers and.only 80k miles was 200° pulling.the same load in a lighter truck. We even had to pull over "to let it cool a bit". My point? See if you need a bunch of extra.shti before you think you do. Make sure your cooler is.clean and see how hot the fluid gets towing before.you.spend a.shtiload of.money on parts for a stock trans. It'd be easy to.get a grand wrapped up in the stocker that is gonna puke when its gonna puke anyway. My stocker lasted 250k miles with lift, 37" tires, and a 100hp tune on it the whole time...it.crapped.out.because.all the.rubber was.toast.from 250k miles.worth of heat.cycling. I changed.my fluid if it.got.hot and if.not.once a.year and mine lasted. It had 10-24k lbs worth of.shti behind it everyday too. Ive never used Mobil 1 trans fluid but the ford.tranny engineer says.its.good.at doing its job even at 300°. [/QUOTE]
