Transmission help

[FlatlandTRD]

I remember reading about some chemical to put through a cooler, basically take off both lines and use a gravity or force feed method to push it through, then replace with new fluid. I will search a little bit....

Digging the patio, where'd you get those pavers? (If you add water, do they grow knives?)

I've read of people using tranny fluid as an engine cleaner

But the only other thing I know of is that Sea Foam crap.

Trans Tune can be used for a pre-service cleaner or can be added to your clean fluid for keeping your transmission fluid clean.Trans Tune is a pure petroleum blend with no chemical additive and will not affect hoses gaskets seals or o-rings.Also we are redoing our web site as we speak.Thanks for using Sea Foam Products

Using Sea Foam’s TRANS TUNE in Petroleum and Synthetic Hydraulic Oils / Fluids / ATF’s

AS A PRE CLEANER TO SERVICE, and AS AN AFTER SERVICE ADDITIVE

Sea Foam’s “TRANS TUNE” was developed over 30 years ago to fill the Automotive, Marine, Agricultural and Industrial need for a CLEANER of OLD HYDRAULIC OIL RESIDUE and as a SAFE MOISTURE DRIER for systems using these Hydraulic oils / ATF’s / Power Steering Fluids, in both petroleum based and synthetic versions.

TRANS TUNE safely dries moisture (not water, water needs to be drained) by turning moisture back into hydrogen and oxygen, and that needs to be vented to the outside atmosphere!

TRANS TUNE is a 100% Petroleum product comprised of three specific oils, blended in just the right proportions to SAFELY perform its functions in a variety of commonly used petroleum and synthetic based hydraulic oils / fluids such as basic Automatic Transmission Fluids, Power Steering Fluids, marine, agricultural and industrial boom, lift and general purpose hydraulic oil / fluid systems.

TRANS TUNE has a tested KV Rating of 30,000 Volts. This means TRANS TUNE’s use in “special resistance” Hydraulic Fluids and oils (including special synthetics) that are commonly / frequently used in lift and boom assemblies by construction companies, fire department and electric companies, is RECOMMENDED to solve the moisture and old oil residue situations that occur and that eat up otherwise productive “billing or work time”. Sea Foam TRANS TUNE was developed to help minimize these down times by providing a SAFE and EFFECTIVE product for use in ANY Petroleum oil based or Synthetic Hydraulic Oil.

Sea Foam recommends 4 ounces Sea Foam TRANS TUNE for each Gallon of Hydraulic oil/fluid capacity in the VENTED operating system. DOUBLE that for GEAR OILS.

****NOTE: An “average fluid capacity” Automatic Transmission would use 8 ounces TRANS TUNE ( ½ Can), as a pre cleaner for sticky residue before doing service work (with a 30 minute full operating temperature test drive MINIMUM), or as an after service additive to clean / keep clean of ATF residue and dry moisture.

****NOTE: “Average” power steering system would use 1 to 2 ounces TRANS TUNE. A plow system on your pickup truck would use 4 ounces per gallon capacity.

****Most importantly is to use an “average” 4 ounces TRANS TUNE to each 1 gallon Hydraulic Oil / ATF / Power Steering Fluid present in the system being treated.

Thanks for the information.

As for the pavers, Glen Gary Brick is where I got them, they are belworth brand, made at that plant off of k10 near the river, back by the sand plant. Behind coleman equipment if you know the area.

Pavers and Retaining Walls by Belgard Pavers

Pretty cool pavers. Each one is same exact size, with 6 different internal patterns to look like slate. Took us a while to figure out how they go together correctly. Only one correct way, about two wrong ways that fit fine at first, then nothing else works. FUN!

I know several of you own Cummins trucks, so I thought I might drop this bit of information. In this new fly by wire age, when you depress the accelerator pedal, you actually pull a cable to a little electical sensor. Yep, it does not go to the carb, or throttle body. So the computer listens to this sensor, and if it senses that you are giving more gas, it sends a signal to the transmission to not lock up the converter and get ready to downshift.

This was my problem. Not a transmission problem, the throttle position sensor was bad.

From Dodge $500, however, Geno's garage (thanks TDR website) makes an aftermarket one, that should solve the weaknesses in the Dodge version.

I talked to the prior owner of my truck and he recalls putting a couple of these Dodge sensors on over the years.

Hopefully this will keep the truck going......
