It was always just cruising down the interstate at 70-80 MPH.
I have both cooler's internal and external. It would stay right at 195 200 which I know is ok but just wondering why it would climb.

The water temp would be about 5*-10* warmer than trans temp. Just wondering if the synthetic would be worth the price.


Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

Cold-Temperature Fluidity
Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces fuel economy. Signature Series Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties (< -60°F pour point). It helps improve shift response, energy efficiency and warm-up times.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
