Man Greg. I love ya and I’ve learned so much from you, but I think we all miss the Jersey days. Good humble wrenching with friends and not burnouts all the time. You’ve definitely earned your success but I think Jersey Greg is what we’d all like to see again.
I literally did this same job about a month ago. Stock steel lines rusted and caused a leak on the return side. Went with the line kit from Power Driven Diesel for a fraction of the price. Kept my heat exchanger intact tho cause i drive my rig all year round and winters can get pretty cold. Also re-used my stock cooler and my trans temps havent gotten any higher than 175.
Also believe it the grill tube frame on my truck rusted and broke and poked a hole in my ac condenser. Of course it happened on a long hot drive where my wife was about to kill me.
So I have one question how is want to know if their heat exchanger is bad I had my radiator go out and I replaced it. Also replaced the intercooler to go with it but I have a lot of oil on the back number five and six cylinder. I was just wondering if that could be my issue thank you. Have a great day.
The argument can be made that if you have been heating the coolant up hot but now coolant temp can’t heat up trans fluid due to bypassing the exchanger
Pre emission cummins with a 6 speed is like the go to for diesel enthusiasts. They also seem to be gaining a collector value if you find clean examples.
I’m running a derale 9000 transmission cooler 13614 from summit racing on my 00 24v, deleted the heat exchanger (leaking) and kept the “mishimoto” trans cooler which was still just stock guy lied. I saw another guy in a 2g forum post his transmission cooler and he said it was from a 6.blow but for the capacity might be switching to that set up myself. Love Greg but don’t love fleece 🤷♂️
This is so misleading... The trans temps were stuck at 180-190 most likely because that's close to what the engine coolant temps were. With the stock liquid to liquid heat exchanger as you pointed out they intentionally warmup the trans fluid using engine coolant so it isn't going to drop too much cooler than engine temps. This is a design feature, you don't want the trans running colder than design it won't shift properly, won't get lubricated properly etc. It wasn't too hot before, this was well within designed operating range. You ran it hard and it maxed out at about 200F - seems to me the stock system was working perfectly. Additionally, at higher temps the stock system allows your transmission to receive cooling from your engine cooling, you're borrowing cooling capacity from your rad. If your trans ever gets to higher temp than your ECT, that liquid to liquid exchanger will shed a tremendous amount of heat over to the engine coolant, much more heat than a bigger liquid to air trans cooler will shed. Bypassing that heat exchanger most likely means this "upgrade" is actually LOWERING the overall cooling output, despite the trans cooler being bigger, since now you don't have additional capacity from the engine cooling. So to summarize bypassing that engine to transmission heat exchanger means this "upgraded" heat exchanger may actually have less overall cooling, while simultaneously taking longer to heatup to operating temp. You're spending less time at operating temperatures. $1,000 to make your transmission cooling system worse...
@@bigeasy_f150 You missed my point, this fleece kit has LESS ability to shed heat not more. I'm not sure how better to rephrase it. A bigger liquid to air cooler on your rad stack will never outperform a liquid to liquid cooler in the engine block, the stock setup will shed more heat at any temperature above ECT. Below ECT you don't want your trans running that cold anyways. Bypassing the engine cooler is the problem, they should offer a kit that retains the stock cooler and then it makes a little more sense but you're still only adding marginal capacity over what the liquid to liquid cooler can do. Also before anyone says it, the trans is higher pressure than the engine coolant, ATF will be in your coolant and trans pressure would drop and stop shifting LONG before you endup with any coolant in your ATF. Show me any examples of the cooler failing and actually taking out a transmission... fear mongering to justify bad engineering.

Most people love to see burnouts 🤷🏽♂️
I agree Raymond
Manual swapped my 5.9, trans temp issue solved.
Anyone else see the 0% smoke coming out of the pipe vs how much power he’s making. Take note children. Smoke is not power unless it’s from your tires

I used the PDD kit too! It’s great!
I wanna say I live in same town as you seen you pulling that pretty truck loaded with your 3 trucks yesterday or day before
Nothing like the sound of a 5.9 in the valleys. Echoing for miles and miles 💪
Can’t go wrong with fleece did Mishimoto cooler and new AN lines for 850 ish on the 4th gen definitely worth the money.
This is how you test things, send it to Greg A, he is the real test for things lol
You've got that amazing shop, when you getting some hoists in there?
are there anymore give aways planned this year ? man i gotta win a truck like these ! so sick dude

Is the mishimoto trans coolers good
What happened with the open heat exchanger. Did you remove it or capped it wtc?
My 07 5.9 use to run 199ish on a good day😂
So do you just put a plug in the heat exchanger?
Need to clean the soot from the dyno corner lol
What's the fuel and air setup on clapgen
Hola amigo cómo estás saludos de aca de Austin Texas Freddy Delgado saludos y bendiciones
What’s the fuel and air setup on this truck?
"...do some burnouts...I mean drive completely normal..."
I mean, that is normal for Greg A.
The argument can be made that if you have been heating the coolant up hot but now coolant temp can’t heat up trans fluid due to bypassing the exchanger
is a 5.9 6 speed more ribale than a 4th gen
Pre emission cummins with a 6 speed is like the go to for diesel enthusiasts. They also seem to be gaining a collector value if you find clean examples.
Can u put a 3rd gen cooler on a 2nd gen? Btw my second gen one is on the front of the inner cooler
No it won't fit
Yes!
So growing and rising when gets hot😂there is a joke in there
Corvette content?
So the lines go from the cooler straight to the transmission now?
yeah, that's what is mainly lower the temps.
950 bux for a transmission cooler, what is the world coming 2

@@billybob7831
Fleece makes good products, ur gonna pay tho lol
right!? i paid $149 for my trucool40 for my gmc, trans never got over 145 driving 85mph for an hour in texas on a 100 degree day
Sorry but I think 1k for this kit is insane.
There is a lot better transmission cooler options for $1000. Hard pass
🤦♂️🤣😂🤣😂don’t be that guy 🤣😂🤣😂
All that rust lol
Ma quick come out side there’s a fackin moose
Based on the thumbnail I thought this was going to be about fixing the idiotic wheel and tire setup.
You also took the coolant temp factor out of the trans temp
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
Talks about saving money as he smokes another set of tires.🤔
Meh big trucks suck eff cars period

i mean if your truck is stock and you drive it like grandpa then yes you are correct
