Aftermarket 6.0 Cooler and Radiator ?
So my re gearing will have to wait. I was installing my trans temp gauge and was treated with a nice “ Strawberry Milkshake “ colored transmission fluid.
Here are my questions. The truck is the one in my signature and its primarily used for pulling a boat and camping.
1. Transynd ( used in Allison transmission fully synthetic trans fluid )
2. Amsoil Torque Drive ( on there website has a compression vs. Transynd and Transynd is a little better )
3. Motorcraft mercon IV
I am leaning towards the after market radiator and trans cooler and Transynd but wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone else has any feedback.
Here are my questions. The truck is the one in my signature and its primarily used for pulling a boat and camping.
- I will be upgrading to a 6.0 cooler but the one from ford is 350-400. I can get an aftermarket manufacture 31 row on RockAuto.com for 205+shipping. Is the one from ford really worth the extra 150 – 200 ?
- Will a aftermarket radiator work just as well as the one from ford ? Mine is a 1 row right now will want to convert to a 2 row I think they were stock on the V10
- Several trans shops said because I am going to be doing a 100% rebuild there are some things that they all said I needed to do
- Converting to a 6 pinion forward planet gear set ( is there a way to tell who actually makes these ? Motorcraft or aftermarket mfg ? )
- Converting to a 4 pinion overdrive planet gear set (is there a way to tell who actually makes these ? Motorcraft or aftermarket mfg ? )
- Transgo HD2 trugger
- Staying with the Borg Warner Clutch's
- Mag-Hytec trans pan
