Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 1178813, member: 1451"] This is pure bs. I know because ive DONE way worse. Ive got the trans up to 280° before. Got the truck stuck in mud with 38" tires and a loaded trailer. When I got it unstuck, it was 280 at least. The fluid was burnt, no arguments there. But I changed it that night and that trans lived another 140k miles. Overheated many times after that. Once I put synthetic fluid in, it never burned the fluid anymore but would still get hot. Sometimes you arent moving enough for coolers to matter. My experience was corroborated by mark kovalsky and he said the temp thresholds are higher than internet folklore has propagated. Is it good to burn fluid? No is 220degrees bad? Not at all. Is 250? Yea, for long periods. I like the guys with stock trucks who run auxiliary coolers and brag about how it only hits 140 in the hottest summer conditions. Good way to rot a trans out 75% of the year with cold, wet fluid.
