Bought it new in 6-07 early job 1 build. I have 120,000 on mine but i have a little over 5000 hours truck, has been deleted and tuned since it had 10,000 miles on it. 3 radiators under warranty 2 bed plate reseals under warranty 1 new torque converter, i went with RCD awesome converter 1...

Mark is right, the universal ones are lousy . So i looked for trans coolers recommended for allison transmissions, and with some help from Mark on the GPM requirements of the 5r110w, This is what i came up with http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44617

So i was curious if you can update this as I'm sure the OP has a lot more miles and its been over a year

Just wanted to follow up, little over 25,000 miles since i put the converter in with no issues. I think its safe to say i came out ahead just doing the converter and not the whole trans.

They have you mount it behind the driverside battery on top of the fuse box. The harness wire's are not long enough to mount it anywhere else. Getting it out of the engine compartment would be the best idea in my opinion and would only take an extra 2' or 3' longer harness. The only other...

Well heres an update, i have had my first issue with the engine brake, now that summer is here i see engine temps around 218-224 regular towing in 105 plus temps. As soon as the engine gets over 216 for 20 minutes or so the electrical go's haywire in the BD Power box. The truck goes into limp...

No the solenoid's never cured the rev slam issue, but there are far less of them then prior to the changes.

I got the EPC stage 2 solenoid from MTS, If i did it again i would just get both from MTS, the direct solenoid is less with them aswell http://www.mts-diesel.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=195

No, but i wouldn't say they where bad, the new stage 2 EPC solenoid raised the internal hydraulic pressure which is constantly higher now and can not be manipulated by the TCM below what it is set at. My truck is a early production 07 job 1 so i think it benefited more from solenoids. The new...

Yes the EPC was a modified stage 2 from MTS, if you talk to them they can set the EPC to a higher pressure, stage 2 was the most streetable they recommended its also the same one they use in there top built trans unless the customer request something different

Yep

Just an update the new converter, after I installed the new EPC stage 2 and DIrect solenoid the Trans performed flawless. There is never lazy shifts from easy in town driving, where prior to the new solenoids Trans relearns where required to maintain good firm shifts. I can't say how pleased...

I actually did the Mag tech pan first, it was after the pan I became apparent that the pan helped keep the Trans cooler until the extra fluid got hot, once the extra fluid got hot the overall Trans took three times longer to cool. It was that problem that lead me to the remote cooler idea.

That is the factory external filter , my truck is a early 07 build before they changed it

Well just an update, I am very happy with the engine brake, setting one is what I use the most , setting 2 is simply too aggressive with the Trans mods I have done. The issue I have with setting 2 is when your coming down a hill and rpms are high around 2800-3400 it will slam into gear when you...

Yes I am on stock up pipes. For my own clarification If I am not mistaken the EBP reading on the Dash Daq is absolute which reads about 14-14.5 atmosphere. That has to be subtracted to see the actual EBP. I just want to be clear on my results thats why I stated on setting one the peak EBP...

All who asked here is the info if you have questions let me know!

Ok wanted to add some info,originaly i added 4 quarts after i got the trans hot over 170 degrees, if you fill the trans to the hot mark with the trans you over 170 degrees when the thermostat is open you will put too much in, i had to drain some out. I took about a gallon out cause i had an...

Now for the results....Before adding the cooler Towing a trailer and load weighing in at 26,000 lbs in stop and go city traffic with an ambient temp of 69 degrees i would see 217-225 degree trans temps. At traffic lights the trans would not cool off more or less maintain. On a 6% 6 mile grade...

Ok so i got the final connections completed on the trans. Took an additional 4 quarts to top the system off. Between the cooler and the mag-hytec deep pan ive added 12 quats or 3 gallons for extra fluid to the trans system.
