Well said Arn!

 

Thanks. But I've had enough. There is no reasoning here, only a desire to batter any who disagree.

He can have the last word - and I'm certain he'll take it.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go change my trans filter and check my SCA level.

 

Jschira....have u considered becoming a Supporting member?....best $15 investment you'll ever make!

I didn't mean to stir things up so i am truly sorry! I was just quoting the $175 based on the filter setup from DieselStie that was mentioned earlier in the thread. I know most of us would look for something cheaper if possible.
Jschira is an attorney (which is according to his profile as I have not seen any stats, facts, or studies with sugar pills to disprove this) and is paid good money to argue which can bring up some good discussion.

 

And some just argue for argument's sake. It's their "job".

They haven't many friends.

Well crap!! I must be just completely off my rocker then.

 

Yes I am to #1, but no, not really to #2.

Looks at the number of posts in this thread and the number of views and tell me that it has not been a thorough discussion. If feathers got ruffled, too bad. You're a big boy. Grow up.

But this is the thread that others will link back to when the topic comes up again (and it will).

 

Anybody know what the bypass is set at on the dieselsite filter housing?

I can buy either that exact filter housing or another one and make my own trans filter setup. Just need to know what to get the bypass set at. I'm guessing 5psi should do it since the trans oil doesn't get contaminated like the engine oil does and any pressure drop would indicate a problem.


Anybody know?

 

Most of us aren't here to ruffle feathers, in fact I have seen great differences in opinions here without ruffling feathers. What have we really learned by this long winded discussion anyway? Any information I took from this could have been conveyed in a much shorter thread.

That being said, I have a great deal of respect for FTE members. They have taught me a lot and helped when I was in need. No one has ever told me that I NEEDED to do any of my mods and I don't believe I've wasted any money improving (in my opinion) my truck. Need is subjective, my dad lost both of his legs. Did he need them? No, he did without for many years, but I think he wanted them really bad. Most of us don't need most of the mods we do, but they generally improve the situation and some may even increase longevity. I look at what people are doing and use my common sense and good judgement to determine if it is right for me. What should be understood is that we use our trucks for many different purposes, different mods are needed, opps, wanted for our unique situations.

For most of us, modifying our trucks is just good fun and we like to share our experiences. One should always weigh the pros and cons of modding, most of us do and make our decisions accordingly. Thanks to all for sharing, there are some very knowledgeable folks on this board.

Sorry for adding to this already too long thread, but after all that reading I decided to share . Oh yeah, I think extra filtration is a good thing, not really necessary, but I think my truck likes it.
