I've been looking at my 07' heat exchanger and not liking it, thinking about it... Now I'm putting it on "To do list". Thanks for the info!
Thanks for posting. Seeing the paths and the splitting of the heater hose at the back is invaluable for me. I swapped a 48re to a G56 manual. I left the plumbing and heat exchanger. This helps me understand what I'll be getting into for removal. Thanks!
Did you do the swap yourself? Been wanting to do the same with my 48re but it seems intimidating.
@@nickstein7099 Yep. Pulled the 48re one weekend with my Dad, installed the G56 next weekend with a friend. Effort wise, it's about like any other engine or tranny swap. Definitely glad I did it. Hated the gear spread on the 48 for towing. I like the gearing on the G56. It's a lot of gears when empty. Not for speed (though I sometimes just do 2-4-6, lol). But overall, I like to be able to choose my gear.
@@raychilcote5558 Thanks man. Im in the same boat. I have a re-built 48re but I hate the gearing and truly miss having a manual, especially going up and down steep grades. Love my truck and don't want to sell it just to buy a manual version. I appreciate the confidence booster. Time to source the parts and what not.
@@nickstein7099 buying a wreck or dead engine truck is best. Be sure to get the shifter with the tranny. Priced by weight in gold. I went with a Phoenix Friction clutch (stage 2 has heavier weight holding pressure plate). For driveshaft mods, consider a one piece rear. I'd been chasing a vibration for 6 years. Only after having my old rear shortened did I find the splines were sloppy and binding. For the $ for shortening, you're 50% to a 5" aluminum .
@@raychilcote5558 Good to know! Been reading quite a bit on some of the cummins forums and it sounds like I should also be aware of the crossmember bolt pattern on the donor vehicle. Man I need to take some serious notes. Thanks again bro. Wish you were my next door neighbor. I have so many questions lol
Thanks man, my is manual but the another crap under manifold the pipes I will do the same, I live in ontario and those pipes where wiping, Thanks a lot❤
convert to a 7.3 ford fan clutch and add a mishimoto trans cooler, towing here in Colorado mountains I barley see 200 degrees, outting around town 175-185 max.
@@ericjaquez4347 7.3 fan clutch conversion?? Interesting! Been eyeing that Mishimoto cooler as well. Thanks for the suggestions!
If I didnt live in Michigan I'd do it...
@@joshmcdermott4619 in 2008 dodge decided it wasn’t necessary, something to consider at least.
@trbokmro Maybe, however living with cold winters I personally am going with an FSD billet. Otherwise from my understanding it's going to take longer for my truck to warm up. Not to mention there's more than a few guys having issues with their trucks being too cool. Didn't realize that was a thing till a couple weeks ago
For the 14mm coolant plug on the driver side, how about a 14mm replacement oil drain plug. Could get a magnetic tip as a bonus. Getting ready to do this!
@@raychilcote5558 I prefer brass into cast iron but would work I suppose.
Ya...brass but it's m16 treads...not m14
@@jamesgeier7740 I wasn’t aware there were any variation in size, that’s odd. Yeah drain plug with copper washer should work fine I would think.
@@jamesgeier7740 oh, wow. Thanks for the heads up.
Oh my GOD! I was just going to buy @ Diesel Power full send diesel braided heater hose kit for 💲276 plus tal but seeing your video will not only help me save but teach me how to do it. Thanks, with what I save 💲I’ll take the wife to dinner. Best regards and keep those DYI
videos for us Cummins owners. Where did you buy brass fitting?
Glad it helped! I couldn't do the $300ish hose kits knowing its just a couple fittings LOL. I bought the fittings off amazon here are the links

You can get just one 1/8" plug at the auto store where you get the hose from to save a few bucks
Thanks for watching!
What year is your RAM? Mine is a 2006 will the parts fit mine? Again, thanks!!
@@JoseOrtega-xn4mj 04.5 technically. Yes yours is the same cooling side of the heat exchanger. If you want to bypass the cooler all together you should have the easier to deal with rubber trans HX lines that takes a couple hose barbs and clamps to fully eliminate
I did the same thing on my 06. I thought trans temps should be at 180. I felt like 200 or above was not good. I even have a bd trans cooler that I feel takes to long to come on. Any thoughts?
@@JakeSurprenant 175-225 is considered ideal auto trans temps and GM says fluid is stable till about 270 degrees. While in town stop and go I can get 205-210 max but when I get up to 45mph or higher it drops rapidly to the 170’s. With the coolant connected it wouldn’t ever really recover below 210ish once it got unit the 220’s low 230’s.
Have you done a thermostat delete? By flipping it backwards
@@PatrickAnderson-l4e no I just installed a lower temp stat.
I put mine in backwards so that now it just flows all the time. Not sure if that would lower your temps even more.
hey bro, we want to invite you to review the latest 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade taillight, how to contact you?
Hey.....did u plug the open holes of the heat exchanger... Where the antifreeze went in
@@jamesgeier7740 no I just blew it out with air and called it good
@@trbokmrokeep up the good work.....😀
How often do these coolers fail? Or at how many miles
@@beptex2858 roll the dice!
@@trbokmro mine just failed at 231,001 after I asked that question….. what a day dumped coolant into my trans now needs rebuilt
Where did you order that intake elbow?
@@BigBearRambo eBay, CX racing
I found them. Thank you. California will just have to deal with me modding my truck. Still stuck in the Oregon mindset.
instead of the autometer, can you just use a heater plug and the same constant pressure clamp?
@@MrEdgardotcom I wouldn’t.
