You need the 'deep pan' filter, unless someone gave you the wrong pan at the factory (it's a joke afaik, everyone got the deep pan (it's about 3" high). The OEM gasket is considered reusable, btw, and is better than a rubber-only (and certainly a cork) gasket. I like the Wix filter (again, my preference they have a good rep). I also use single-application Dexron (not the 'multi-type' fluid that can be used in different makers (Castrol 'TransMax' is an example of this). I like Valvoline's 'full synthetic' blue bottle, about $8/qt. the 'outlet' - makes no difference, unless they're marked as such (and I don't know of any that are, myself)ĭexron VI for fluid. Coolers will flow either way you hook them up, so don't worry about which side is the 'inlet' vs. Just make sure you use good quality clamps (and use two in-line with one another). You can plumb everything without cutting the existing cooler lines. Keep the little plastic cover on the line, past the flared end, then push it back in place once the line is seated back in past the clip.Īlmost everyone who sells a cooler includes 3/8" I.D. You can put the line in first, and then fiddle with the clip, but it's a lot easier to do clip, then line.
Oh, and when you're reassembling, the lines & clips were made to allow installation of the clip around the orifice first, then just push the line past the clip and seat it in the orifice. You can get replacement clips at your local parts store, in the carded stock (Dorman, 'Help' brand, etc.) Might not be a bad idea to pick up a package before you start, just in case one of the clips goes flying and you can't find it. The tube pulls straight out, and you'll notice it has a flared end. There's a plastic cover you pry off, and then you can get to the clip. A pick tool comes in very handy for prying out the clip. Be careful when taking them out - they fly easily (although I never have this issue - lucky me). The fittings are held to the radiator with retaining clips (wire).
Derale makes adapters I have one (unused), and can go get the part #, if you need it. Can I buy fittings that will 'bolt in' to the existing hardline fittings? I know the PCM of NC cooler does, but that is totally out of my price range for a few fittings and hoses. Should I get an aux cooler? I am leaning toward doing so, but I was wondering the best way to do it - I can find a cooler very easily - but I do NOT want to cut the steel lines. My final question is probably the easiest - I checked the temp of the fluid via the OBDII scanner and I am sitting at 87C (188F) cruising at 65MPH on the highway with an ambient temp of around 45F engine temp at 194F. I'm assuming that the shift time is the shift time and error added together?Īlso, my torque converter slip is around the same RPM as the engine in park - that is normal, right? Alongside those times, I have 'error' times: 0.03 error on 1-2 shift -0.13 error on 2-3 shift and -0.38 error on 3-4 shift. I have a few questions regarding the 4L60E in my 04 Envoy 4.2L.įirst of all, my shift times from an OBDII scanner - how do I use this data? For example, what are 'factory' shift times? In doing a short drive, I had a 0.40 1-2 shift a 0.38 2-3 shift and a 0.38 3-4 shift.
