Right, I forgot that until I revisited skpyle's thread. I like your filter choice better too. Looks like you plumbed yours in before the radiator's fluid cooler, yes?
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Nice write up.

Yup, right after the trans before the radiator cooler.

I copied that config too, it's working quite well.

I'm curious how messy or clean it would be to change out the fluid by having that filter removed and a bucket underneath and running the engine for a bit then adding fluid through the trans dipstick tube.
Usually I remove the upper radiator trans line and insert a barb hose adapter into the jiffy tite fitting with a hose running to a bucket.
Thinking maybe saving a step and being able to change the fluid while the remote filter is being changed?

I found it pretty much drips straight down.
I just used a 5-gallon bucket and propped it pretty close to the rim to prevent splashing.
My lines might be different since I have 1/2in, so it might have more spray with 3/8in?
So tread carefully, maybe a helper to quickly shut it off while you watch
I was also thinking about taking an old filter and cutting off the bottom, then I could use that as a shield.
probably next time I mess with it, I'll do that.
You guys using 5 gallon buckets I recommend these for catching drain plugs and filters before they splash down into oblivion.

I really doubt it. Jacking up the line pressure is a very rookie move. I can't see BB doing this. A good tune should actually extend the life of the trans since it would reduce the shift confusion, slip, unnecessary shifts and general slop the factory has programmed in to make it soft and comfy.

back in the day they would boost line pressure with a part, this was pretty common on the earlier units.
I haven't heard of a pump dying due to line pressure being boosted, but who knows.
These days you can do it via a tune, and what I did was to just boost the pressure by a few percent in the clutch pressure settings.
Pretty much I didn't like how 2-3 shifted, so I would boost that until I was happy.
I also played around lightly with the oncoming pressures to help speed up apply and remove the delay and a slight slip that was present.
Do i know what I'm doing?
nope!!
With my fresh transmission with good clutch pack clearances, I didn't need much to make me happy.
I'm pretty much on a stock tune at this point, I think I have 1-4% pressure boost in some gears.
but mostly I have that since the tune was for a 5.3, and I'm no longer running a 5.3.

That's how skpyle did it in his build thread.
