i have the 8 speed auto in my 2018 I will probably never tow anything but a baby carriage with it sweet truck but I did not buy it for towing. 4x4 decent gas mileage, just learning how to drive with the 8 spd. it's cruise control on the freeway, and manual shift of the back roads.. the 8 spd is the soft spot.
on my 2000 silverado i could push the domelight over ride on and off twice and it killed the headlight. oddly enough, there is a little trick for everything.
I hear ya. I remember the air cooled trans. My deal is, I`m not one to run my trans at 212 "to get the water out". If you leave a cold beer out on the bar, will the condensation go away without boiling?
I don`t believe in the not hot enough to shift properly or to get the water out. A trans will fail in 2 ways. Either you break it or you roast it. How many have failed from being "too cold"?
Oil viscosity? Hmm. How much "thicker" does an oil get as it gets saturated with clutch particles? When it`s time for me to change my 10L80 oil, it will get LV spec oil.😮 Lets see what happens.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm old enough to remember the old vehicles with transmissions that were either not cooled at all, or run through the bottom of the radiator.
Sometimes it appears that much like my latter days in my job as a computer analyst in a fortune 500 company, insofar as our vehicles are concerned testing has moved over into the production environment. And we are the testers 🤨
