    Transmission Temps??

    Maybe I’m just won’t thinking it. We use it to pull our two ATV’s and 19” boat and I don’t think either of those is too heavy shift don’t want to be rebuilding it again too soon.

    Transmission Temps??

    2018 Tahoe with the 6L80E. We just had it rebuilt and 1000 miles ago and so far everything is great. My concern in the operating temp. I installed the PPE thermostat bypass. The transmission seems to be running a little cooler around 195-200. I still think that is just too hot for a...

    Transmission question.

    So we had the transmission rebuilt in our 2018 Tahoe 4x4 with the 6L80 A guy at work suggested that around town we drive with the tow haul mode on the keep line pressure up and keep from going into OD? Any thoughts or opinions?

    Tranny issue??

    Yeah I was pretty sure after seeing the pan it needs rebuilt. I put a new filter and filled with fluid and strangely enough is seems to drive just fine but I know there is something wrong in there.

    Transmission temp?

    Well took of for a two hour drive to take the kid to the airport. It’s better but not too impressed. Stayed around 178-188 except for waiting to drop him off. With no air flow that makes sense. But back on the road it cooled back off. I ordered a aftermarket cooler so I’ll add that next.

    Transmission temp?

    It was pretty warm outside maybe around 93 degrees. She was just headed to lake after work for the long weekend. I was not with her but it hit 260 for 20 miles or so. She turned on the heater which helped bring it to 250. I do also question why GM runs a 207 degree thermostat in these trucks...

    Transmission temp?

    Have a 2018 Tahoe I just change the transmission fluid and filter. Just the other day while pulling the boat which is only 18 foot older Bayliner the transmission temp got to 260. Did I do something wrong? Do I need to fill the pill or is the transmission toast?
