My OTT tune has been great as well. The shift points alone make it worth it. My transmission temps are much better going up mountain passes.

How did you end up wiring your ditch lights? Did you end up going through the door?

Tucson recommends a half inch shorter belt, but I've been running the OEM one.

I use a tucson 240a. Had it installed in the beginning of this year and it works great. I did the big 3 upgrade at the same time.

I bought one a few weeks ago, but haven't installed it yet. Looks to be good quality though.

I've been debating between duracell agm and x2 power agm (both stocked by batteries plus) to replace my current battery when it dies. This may push me towards duracell to save me some coin.

I removed all the clips from mine. It's a lot easier to take it on and off now. Haven't noticed any issues so far.

If you plan on spending a bunch on battery terminals, I would at least get copper ones.

Installing an external cooler is really not that much work since you're just tapping into the existing system. It's really a no brainier if you plan on keeping your truck long term.

My pan temps were hitting ~220 on long mountain passes before adding the Hayden. After adding a cooler, they stay under 200. Even if you’re not towing, reducing heat helps longevity. These transmissions don’t love sustained high temps.

I have a 678 in mine since the transmission already has a thermostat. Some people get the 698 and pin the thermostat in the transmission. I think the 698 thermostat opens at a lower temperature.

The GX460 transmission has its own thermostat that fully opens at around 190F. There shouldn't be any risk of it running too cool.

Absolutely necessary. I would also add an inline filter and a way for you to monitor torque converter temps and pan temps. Monitoring torque converter lockup also helps with transmission temps.

I was debating it for awhile, but I finally added a inline filter to my external cooler because of this post.
