    I think I found one, but I think it's the front bolt, just the regular banjo bolt. This is driving me up the wall. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Until......... I have the horrible problem of getting sidetracked and over tightening bolts sometimes...

    Ok I might be getting annoying, but I got bored today I went to the garage Moved the trans temp sender to the correct port in the driver's side Flushed the cooler again. And took her for a ride. It took a lot longer than normal for her to get above 100° Then I hit the back roads The house she...

    Ok, I took it for another ride to get it warm. Trans temp gauge said 210°. So I pulled her Infront of the garage and checked her with the laser. I checked the lines at the cooler, the inlet was 124°, the outlet was 93°. Then I checked the lines where they go in the trans, inlet was 143°, outlet...

    Any one here familiar with John Wood? I hear that he is a top name in transmission rebuilds. I also hear that he deletes the bypass on all his rebuilds unless specified. Why is this? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Old bull... I guess I wasn't very clear on what I said, I didn't think there was a bolt on place of the banjo bolt I was wondering if you could bypass the bypass cooler by placing a bolt in place of the banjo bolt Or do you even think bypassing the bypass is a good idea? And if you do, I guess I...

    It looks almost as if the banjo bolt was replaced by a solid bolt, but I can't see for sure Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Ok After doing a little more driving with no load today, I checked the trans temp with the laser again. 210° That's a little hotter than I like. I'm thinking of rebuilding the bypass or just deleting it all together. I've been reading that the bypass is prone to failure, and will cause the...

    Another thing..... It seems like it gets hotter sitting at idle in park, versus driving. I know that's not right If anything it should cool off idling in park, instead of getting hotter Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
