Looks like I'll be replacing a bad tpms sensor today.

I really thought and was hoping my 01 trans would've failed by now so I could tear it down and see something, but I'm still waiting for it to fail.

That and the bed cover, looks good. Will or should it help with fuel mileage?

You are right I don't have proof of anything for keeping this trans cooler, but I have seen thousands of plastic parts, rubber piston seals, Teflon seals and more get heat sycled to death and very low mile failure. What I'm going to find out is if the temps are lower will they live longer...

Still don't say why, what will happen. How about this, as I said I'm doing it to find out why not just let it at that.

I've been a builder since the 80's every transmission I built to run cooler has lasted longer then the vehicle it was in. Show me some data, show me something that has gone wrong so I can see what happened. I'm not going to listen to oh it won't work because this guy or that guy said that...

Absolutely, temps are short term effects, I'm very interested in it's long-term. I have been working on this for awhile so far all I can say is I haven't had a problem running amsoil trans fluid in, about 53k miles and counting. Truck has 128k on it now with all amsoil fluids.

There is a tsb to refresh the tcm for the 25 model year. But that needs to be determined if it applies to your specific truck.

Sorry guys, I cheated. I work for the dealership I got my ram from. It came to me.

I think, and of course can be wrong. He was more talking about people disagreeing with what I'm doing with no real experience in it or saying hey I've tried that, it didn't work and this is what happened. But again I could be wrong.

I love that color combo. Very nice. 👍

Hold on now, I haven't seen anyone say try this, no one gave advice. We are just talking about what we do.

Lol that reminds me of the time I raised the line pressure way to high. First it broke a carrier bearing, fixed that. Then it snapped a u-joint. So I had to back it off... it's a fine line between enough and to much pressure. Lol

Very true, I just gave a very basic explanation

Also the cost of a new trans, now getting up to around $7k to $10k. I want it to run cooler and last longer.
