not sure yet.
It paid for the front and rear 5 pinion planets i bought today.
sold the pair for 260 in less then 24 hours.
Without outers? Well done.
yup, he blew up his gears and going to swap his over.
I thought of you as he drove away... sorry lol.Winning
Ha! I would too. I spent months trying to get 250 for a complete ten bolt 4.10 with 8 lug outers.
In reference to the previous discussion about trans temp I watched the trans temps on my 08 2500hd Saturday. I was hauling about 1500lbs of dirt in the bed for a 50 mile trip. With 60° air temps the trans ran at 130° to 140°. The high end was in the hills and running 75mph on the interstate. I was surprised it ran that cool but then air temp was relatively cool too. It's the 6spd auto.
Damn son. Wtf. I just got back from a 1200 mile road trail dirt trip in Baja. My trans didn't miss a beat and I had temps up to 240 at one point in super deep sand and 4 hi.
I talked to derale today about my cooler placement as that is too hot but...
Did you seriously blow up another trans.

Holy crap that is hot! Normal in the Allison is supposed to be 100 above ambient for a general rule. So on a 75 degree day 175 trans temp is normal. Obviously that's ok the street not the sand but dang 240 is getting up there
This isnthe one i put in about a month ago. just now getting around to fixing it.
Yea I put my remote mount dual fan derale in the engine bay for protection but it isn't getting enough cool air to work when things get warm. It is fine for most driving hovering around the 180 most of the time but some circumstances heat it up
are you looping it through the radiator? And where is that temp sensor location?

If you're gonna **** it up. **** it up pro grade.
I took it as a compliment, about a $600 compliment.
Way to sell them. I sold a matched set with tires for 100 last year. Took 3 months to sell.
I have two sensors. One in the body and one in the pan. The pan never gets as hot as the body, and no I didn't run it through the radiator. I just need to move the cooler to where it can draw in cold air. Under the hood isn't helping.
