Broke the BTS

lariat 7.3 · Jul 4, 2015

ok im back. Good news.....He covered it. Don't know what broke but we received the tranny back on thursday and the mechanic got it back in the truck that night. Looks as if he just shipped a brand new one out. TQ converter looks new etc etc.

NOW THE BAD..... mechanic called to say the bypass is leaking when he cranked it up. Said when he went to tighten it there was no resistance and it just spun.. like it was stripped on arrival. So now we're stuck with this.... Bryan is closed for the holiday.

Any tips on fixing this? helicoil???

Yeah I'm not going to. My dad is getting a little irritated. Needs it up and running. I'm gonna guess that Bryan does all the internal and a tech throws the exterior stuff on like the converter etc. Hopefully it's a quick fix!

Not tightening up doesn't sound good. I know E4OD have no bypass. To run no bypass, you need spacers.

Could delete it....but there's still the issue of the threads being jacked up in the tranny.

brian doesn't like it when guys delete the bypass.. wont warranty a trans that has the bypass removed.. at least that is what he told me..

This stuff works very well. Saved our azzes many times on stripped hydraulic fittings at the steelmill.

My trans guy says the opposite. If there is a failure in the trans to activate the bypass, the damage has already happens and the trans has to come out anyway.

and in colder climates when the cooler freezes and there isnt a bypass, the trans smokes itself.... that is why he won't warranty it... i went through that exact situation. called brain and said my trans is jacked up. im in the dead of Minnesota winter and its hitting 200°+ then all the sudden it cools off and starts over... he said the bypass was doing its job and the cooler was freezing. put a beer box in front of the cooler and then call me back.. sure as chit.. temps stayed normal all winter after that...

How does a trans cooler freeze?

it freezes the fluid inside it.. Minnesota winters are brutal. -25° ambient temps plus driving with a trucool in front of everything makes fluid stop flowing..

What about the fluid in the trans upon start up?

Wind chill applies to the human body.

trans fluid i believe is a 30 weight oil so its prolly thick.. while sitting still it warms up evenly. even when stopping after it froze it thawed back out cuz the heat from the radiator warmed the front up.. while moving, air pushes the radiant heat away from it so by putting the beer box in front of it allowed it to stay warm...

never said anything about windchill.. just saying the cooler being in front of all the stuff that gets hot doesn't get the radiant heat..
