Thanks, I have the MYC, part number 19431765.
Thanks, No one is commenting on the add-on filter. Should I take that as a sign of disapproval?
To be honest I didn't even notice that comment until I looked back. I don't see where you can go wrong with more filtering. The main thing I would recommend is improving the trans cooling system. #1 either eliminate or ungrade the transmission fluid thermostat and #2 add an additional cooler. I did the Mishimoto transmission cooler and could not be happier. Towing a 6000 lb boat around Arizona in 110 degree heat and my trans temp never exceeds 170 degrees when prior to the upgrades it was 205 degrees just driving under light load.
I installed this very unit on mine. Important to note that unless you bypass the thermostat (I did) it will only filter when hot. I did this while replacing the pan / internal filter. My hope is that as long as I keep my 10 micron spin on filter changed, I shouldn’t really need to drop that pan again. I also hope that if the TCC bites the dust, the spin on can keep the rest of the tranny clean enough that I don’t need a complete rebuild. Every time I do a drain and refill now the fluid is clean as it went in. Wish I would have done it brand new.
Do you have the link for the one that you installed? How does/did it connect before the T-stat?
I think I used the same one you linked, or very similar (looks the same). It doesn’t connect before the thermostat, that’s why you have to bypass it with something like the sure cool. It connects via the cooler lines. The kit is made for you to cut the “out” line to the cooler and splice it in there. Each line has a rubber section you can slice into. I bought a series of adapters to connect mine via the quick connects at the cooler, but it cost a bit more and does add complexity.
Quick question on the trans cooler, did you notice any increase in engine operating temps due to the trans cooler sitting in from of the radiator?
None whatsoever. The cooler is mounted on the struts just forward of the condenser and not touching it. So plenty of air movement around the cooler without affecting the air flow to the condenser or radiator. My engine temp reads 210 no matter the outside temperature and my trans temp never exceeds 170 degrees. Not the cheapest but by far the best I've ever encountered. The package contained everything needed for the specific application.
