Trouble with inline transmission filter?????
2001 F350 7.3L 4R100 My inlne transmission filter has always leaked, transmission and filter replacements @ 30K -40K mile intervals. I have tried multiple brands with same result. My reman transmission has atleast 120K miles, mostly light duty. The last time I asked the dealership tech about it he said they are now just taking them off because they are no longer needed because due changes in the transmission servicing, however I would like to keep mine as a safeguard. Both the tech and I agreed that there appears to be a filter failure that allowed fluid through the plastic body. Seems like a pressure problem to me? I have searched and searched to find another magnetic filter that is more heavy duty and maybe with a metal housing. Do not have the money to do a bypass style upgrage with a large capacity filter, like @ BD.
