2003 4R100 trans maintenance
Keeping this short I hope.
Trans service (new truck to me). Is there any extra worthwhile trans service kits on the market. I see all kinds of 1970's cork/rubber gaskets and not sure how the filter flow rates are.
Any good flowing top notch service kits available?
Thanks.

Good deal. I was wondering why the current one isn't leaking at all. Going to check the service manuals also and see if there's any maintenance adjustments for these.
Thanks guys, much appreciated.

You have many options for trans temp, the temp is reported through the OBDII plug so any dongle/app on a phone or tablet will work as well a Scan Gauge or Ultra-Gauge type device. Or if you are old school (like me) you can run a stand alone gauge with the sensor in the test port on the side of the trans, I use the GlowShift MaxTow gauge with both the sweep gauge face and a digital reading. MaxTow Transmission Temperature Gauge
Keeping tabs on the trans temp is a very wise thing if towing. And yes, the addition of the 6.0 cooler is a great upgrade that is pretty simple to do, I have the Dorman 6.0 cooler along with the needed hoses, barbed fittings and clamps sitting in my garage waiting to go one at my next trans flush.

I was trying to find a very direct fit cooler so that it mounts like the factory. Hayden has a heavy duty 6.0l trans cooler (778), but the mounting is very different. Any good source on the 6.0 cooler? I have the 3/8-1/2 barbed brass connectors ordered.

A quick Google search of that part number shows me you're spot-on.
Please do the same for your own verification process, but that does come back to a 6.0L trans cooler made by Dorman.
