does the unit make a buzzing noise by chance? i just installed and its making a buzzing noise

Yeah, it’s honestly not that bad.

The thermostat is not a direct replacement on all years 14 and up, there are different tube/ oring connections unfortunately

I installed it. Just moved to Vegas. Middle of summer. City driving.topping 200F at the no

@@wooshkabeeba132 cooler lines are different but the internals are the same. Yes some 6l80s come with clips on the cooler lines and others come with a plate that holds both lines in place.

Mine is still running same temp weird

No symptom, just higher trans temps than in the past with past transmissions. Heat is the enemy of automatic transmissions.

You didn’t have to replace it all you had to do was remove it and turn it upside down then reinstall it and it will run cooler

@@steverodriguez4871 are you sure about this? This kit works flawlessly, I have it installed on my 19 Yukon XL

@@slalomking not saying it don’t work just saying if you bought it so it runs cooler all you have to do is remove it and turn it upside down research it don’t take my word for it

@@slalomkingsomeone on here mentioned MPG went down noticeably. Is this true ? I mean I already average around 10 in city and 15-16 on highway.

is that a V8?

@@gmm4343 yes, 5.3 . Update, whatever was stuck in the cooler must have loosen up, because the temp went down to 136 for short trips and 165 for a one hour trip to Philly last night.😄

@@scottsnell2888 ah ok good. I was going to say if you’re like me and have the 4.3 v6, it’s a different cooling system. We don’t have the auxiliary fin cooler in front of the condenser. The fluid only circulates through the radiator which in turn exchanges heat with the coolant( hot temperatures). Us V6 owners will have to install a cooler if we want temps that low 🥲

@@gmm4343 V6 owner here too. Haven't seen any info on installing a cooler. It's a V6 in this video but the two lines going to the transmission are spaced apart .

Changed the thermostat and ran it for awhile. The next day I drove around town and the transmission temp wasn't getting hot like it did before.

Sounds a bit low for those temp , could be thermostat sensor reading to low maybe needs replace

@@kingadri1180 not sure, it’s always pretty much equal to my ambient temp when I first start off

@@joshmx28 i installled mine this morning and I been driving over 1 hr stayed nomore than 130 as well We’re at 55 degrees right now

I bought my truck used. In the cold months, my transmission runs 110 in the summer months, and it goes to 140. Everyone I talk to said there is no such thing as running too low of temp in a automatic transmission. Since heat is the down fall of automatic transmission.

​@@philzandstra2660correct you are

I don’t recall hearing anything

Always with any seal lol

Any update?

Did you figure this out?

@thisismyname2936 no, but it never happened again. Temp stays at or below 165. Weird man.

They sell a deep pan with a heatsink on it for the transmission but it cost around 350 thats what route im going if it doesnt drop the temp

ezpz

You can actually use either stop slip or oil stabilizer, both are a great assembly fluid.

I don’t remember if I needed to, but I checked it when I was done.

🤣

This is for the v6 too, This truck was a v6

@@hanksgarage_ the lines go from the radiator to two different spots on the transmission. I look again

I replaced the thermostat and that fixed the problem.

@@nestorbarboza3654 if you have a 6L80 yes

No it’ll be fine

Good question I put back in 1/4 of a quart. Letting it run and drove a couple of miles. Don’t see any on the stick. Afraid to put in too much.

it should still read full, if ur stick is dry you need fluid.@@CSltz

Time for a new transmission 😅

Check your radiator for leaves and trash it will affect the cooling thats what the paper says that came with the parts

Hi sorry to bother you. I have 2011 tahoe is there any measure I can take to lower trans fluid temps

@@cowboyninja9811trans cooler 2011s don’t have a bypass valve

Add a tru cool 40k transmission cooler

That could be a sign to replace the internal transmission filter. Overtime it gets clogged affecting flow. Very important

@Captain4679 I've noticed that it makes a difference while the truck is moving steadily at certain speed. However, if I'm driving in the city or where traffic is slow it doesn't make any difference

@oalsouqi last time serviced the transmission at valvoline, they didn't change the filter. Thanks

@@Osvaldo-xs2mt In that case, I’d definitely recommend changing the internal filter. The internal filter is usually overlooked in regular maintenance as well as the dealerships usually for some reason almost never recommend changing it in regular maintenance. I took the initiative myself to do it after the dealership declined to do it on my own truck ( 2011 Chevy Suburban 2500 6L90 6Spd) & have dropped temperatures from 190s to 150s during the exact same drive cycle as well as ambient temps I usually do including towing. I’d put it in a list to help drop transmission temperatures in ascending order: 1. Change Internal filter as well as pan fluid only 2. Add the STL010 Bypass Kit 3. Change torque converter ( which you should do regardless 6l80/6l90 every 100,000 miles due to factory manufacturing weakness 4. Add transmission auxiliary cooler or better yet another additional cooling fan or upgrade I’m almost 100% certain this will narrow down in that order finding out what’s causing those high temps as well as increase longevity in those transmissions. I’m not a professional however confident in the methods provided. Best of luck!

Title of the video

Good info, may as well just stay with the OEM unit

@@hanksgarage_ well I’m also not convinced that those are great to keep in either for pulling and hot temps. This bypass works great in summer, winter it ran fine but not sure how good it is for tranny fluid to stay that cold.

​@hanksgarage_ do you have any info on this i.l8ve in California I'm curious at what running temp we would start to see a big decrease in function. As far as avg mpg and do we know what the min temp should be for transmission to function properly?

@@pokerstar81 in your area, it’s a no brainer install and enjoy the benefits. Everyone there should be running one of these bypasses. They are definitely transmission savers in the warm climates. You’ll be running at 140 - 150 instead of 200.

@@jaybilawchuk2225what do you think about cloaked like Ohio where it can get hot and cold as hell

No

EPA regulations, forcing Car manufacturers to do magic, so the polar bears live for another 1000 years. Another words, running oils, or keeping it at higher temp, help save gas, oil thinner up, parts runs more freely. I learned it from an GM mechanic. Basically, they care less if we the work force horses have to dished out money prematurely. But they care!🫣🫣

Actually it was probably very good money maker, trans $ales !

@@MrLuckylilly yup, fuck GM

194 degrees. Was supposedly to “increase fuel economy” ….. yea while grenading your tranny.

Damn. That’s crazy, I just bought mine and still haven’t installed it. So seeing this comment is really fucking with my head 😢

@@moemaisoninstall it. If your transmission isn’t broken. It should work. Heat is transmission enemy.

@evoxgeo I got it installed about 2 months ago and let me say this, when driving on the highway it’ll keep my temp around 150-160 but once I start driving locally for about an hour or more it goes up to 215 and mind you I just got an new transmission, driveshaft and solenoid installed by the dealer about 6 months ago after my transmission blew at around 48,000 miles and now I currently have 53,000 miles on it.

@@moemaison that’s seems crazy odd. I think it should be doing this.
