Has anyone ever tried changing the aluminum line to rubber hose crimps for the transmission and oil cooler lines out for AN fittings on and 07-13 Sierra 5.3L? I have a 2013 Sierra and the cold here in Canada isn’t kind to these crimps as I believe the rubber and aluminum have different shrink rates because of difference in material causing them to leak. Replacing them will not solve the problem as the will just do the same thing every year. So what I want to know is if anyone has successfully done this and what fittings did you use? -
Just recently bought a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE 4x4. I am the third owner. Shortly after buying the truck the transmission grenade’d itself. I’m at 97k miles so still under the 100k mike power train warranty, however I was 21 days outside of the 5 year part of the warranty. I reached out to GM after returning from deployment to try and get some help and hope that they would honor all or maybe partial warranty. Needless to say no help from GM! Shopped around for shops to rebuild and ended just buying a remand one for 2.7k. So here are my questions: 1. Flush the current cooler or buy an upgraded one? 2. If I should buy an upgraded one then how big? Also should I bypass the current one in the radiator to have a separate cooling system? 3. I’ve heard of people deleting the transmission oil thermometer to achieve a cooler temp. So say do this because heat is the enemy, others say the trans is built to operate at a certain temp. 3.What temperature is the best operating temperature? 4. Should I have the new transmission re flashed or swap the one from my grenade’d one into the remand one? 5. What’s the best way to flush the current cooler if I don’t change it? I’m afraid if I just try to flush it then it won’t get it clean enough and I’ll mess up the new transmission! That’s all I can think of right now! Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!

I currently have a 2017 Silverado LTZ with 8 speed transmission thats lifted 4" with 35" tires. The truck is currently at 39K mileage and I was looking into upgrading my transmission cooling to take the wear off my transmission by allowing it to run cooler. My thought was to run a mishimoto transmission cooler, B&M transmission pan along with running the Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP to avoid the possible shudder everyone is having with there transmission. Couple of concerns that I have is doing that will increase my fluid capacity which I have no way of checking the correct level since these transmissions have no dipstick. Any aftermarket dipstick like the one from B&M doesn't have an indicator mark, you have to mark it once you first install it. Any ideas around this to ensure I am getting the correct levels? Don't want to overfill or under fill my transmission. Or is this whole idea just a bad one all together?
