It's a non serviceable part at the dealer so I would have to buy a whole new cooler.
You stuck a bolt in place of the thermostat? You will have a higher film strength, and heat resistant with heavily fortified anti-oxidants just for starters. I would also recommend that you add a deep sump oil pan. Pressure test transmission to determine cause. Measure end play and select proper spacer. I hope this will help future generations of Dodge Cummins owners out, I didn't copy these to take claim, I took them and put them tougher so others will be able to use this information which is now easily accessible and legible. Not a bolt in the downtube. Clutch, band or planetary component damaged.
Unfortunately, many of these facilities do not drop the pan or change the filter, which I find scary. All the vehicles mentioned above are work horses, and as such are. If so, what do you replace it with or do you recommend leaving the transmission in neutral for a few seconds to fill the torque converter? You may have to before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. Life expectancy isn't much further and the price to make the switch wouldn't pay back. When checking parts and clearances, this knowledge will help you understand the combined effect can be when things loosen up and allow internal leakage. My story was, The transmission had always run right at 150degrees Sensor in deep pan for the past year since the rebuild.
I believe that there are fluid standards and companies like Amsoil reproduce add to these formulas with their own additives to reduce wear and shed heat easier. If leaks persist, replace fittings and lines if necessary. Excessive converter oil flow past the converter hub bushing contributes to front seal leaks and allows converter oil pressure a direct path to exhaust. Adjust linkage and repair linkage if worn or damaged. I cant understand why anyone would think a fluid can survive for 100's of thousands of miles and not be replaced.
It's built right into the top of the cooler itself. Pepsi's Notes This portion titled Shorthanded Diagnostics came from a thread on the Cummins Forum written by the user silvertungdemon. We have detected that you are blocking our advertisers. If the transmission does not slip in Reverse, the rear clutch is slipping. Remove valve body and replace solenoid assembly. Remove, inspect and repair as required. Even with hot fluid above 200° these pressures and volumes come back to normal when we bring the rpm close to 1,500.
With the vehicle running put the transmission in reverse and do a stall test. The truck just celebrated its tenth birthday. I went from running 200+ to 140 over night. Replace valve body as assembly if any valve or bore is damaged. Remove and disassemble transmission and rear clutch and seals. Make sure you get the information you are looking for.
He machines the top pressure plate and selects clutches and steels thin enough to allow 7 clutches to be installed and get the correct height. Jim builds arguably the best working and best looking transmission in Northern California. For another example, if the transmission also slips in Reverse, the front clutch is slipping. If slippage occurs during the 3-4 shift or only in fourth gear, the overdrive clutch is slipping. When the transmission is assembled, no sealer is used because Jim insures the mating surfaces are flat enough they won't leak.
Note: Dummy shaft is used while assembling the overdrive section in picture above. Check shift cable for correct routing. It either breaks so there is no continuity anymore, or the wires develop a break in just the plastic protective sleeve, causing them to short out. Two travel trailers, 1 cargo trailer. This location will give you the temp of the fluid coming out of the converter and will be the hottest temp you will see from the trans while in the fluid coupling mode converter clutch unlocked.
