    Overheating 6L80e

    When I installed the cooler I couldn’t for the life of me find a video or thread taking about the best way to hook it up so I winged it. My thinking was that the trucks radiator sat at 210 once warm and I wanted the fluid to be cooler than that. Haha. Scientific I know.

    Overheating 6L80e

    Uh What’s the thinking on this? Trust me I believe you guys. And I’ll try anything, is the fluid moving too fast to actually cool it? Or is the radiator cooler that efficient? I noticed yesterday that the faster you go, the quicker it builds heat. About a 20 minute interstate ride and the temps...

    I bypassed the radiator all together. Going straight from the trans to the cooler and back. Is that what you mean?

    Dark ash captins seats

    I have a 2015 with the jet black/dark ash interior with a bench seat. Me and the wife would love captains seats, but I feel like I’ve searched all over and I can’t find them in the dark ash anywhere. I can find black, dune and dark atmosphere which is close, but not a match for the dark ash. Did...

    Overheating 6L80e

    So to go into a little deeper, I rebuilt the trans around 3 months ago, drove it and it was doing this issue then too. So that’s when I did the bypass and cooler, when it didn’t change I got worried I had installed a seal incorrectly or perhaps had knicked something when doing the install. So I...

    Overheating 6L80e

    that’s about what I was expecting, somewhere in the 140 ballpark. Im hoping it’s alright, I don’t want to cause any damage. But the truck drives flawlessly now, I mean shifts out good, no tieups or flare outs at all. Today on the drive into town about 30 miles of 55mph the it sat around 145-155...

    Overheating 6L80e

    @NickTransmissions i do want to give you a huge thank you for everything that you do on YouTube, you were a huge help! I have a hydraulic background, and have built several engines in the past but never a transmission, to say I was intimidated would be an understatement. Your videos made it make...

    Overheating 6L80e

    So I never really saw a really high temp, I guess I was more concerned with the amount of time it took too get “warm,” if it was idling, it would slowly increase but if you drove it, it would shoot to 190F within 5 minutes or so, even when the temps outside were mid 30s. So I knew something...

    Overheating 6L80e

    Okay. So I’m very glad you added that second part. Today when I tested it it got to like 190F fairly quickly. I then turned off and had the laptop with me and kind of went back through the tune that I had loaded, I didn’t really see any issues with it but I reloaded it to the truck on the side...

    Overheating 6L80e

    So I need some advice here. I’ve been a long time lurker, first post. A little bit of info, I have a 2015 Tahoe LT 4x4 with the 6l80, I bought it with a bad converter and it was unable to move, the trans was shot. Long story short, I’ve rebuilt my 6L80 myself following nicks transmissions on...
