Transmission Fluid Flush  - bulletin #18-NA-355

20200410_132702.thumb.jpg.d8456352c9e1ac2fe05a4f155f2077ac.jpg

That is what I thought they did on the TSB, but everyone on here is saying that you can not do a flush on the 8 speed.

 

Did they let you know what they were going to do before hand? How is it working now?

Fixed the vibration I had. So far so good, but still waiting to see. It did great picking up mulch today though.

I love this look, big tires on stock height, seems not lifted or maybe a bit leveled ? What is your tire size ? Have a nice day ! Robin

Why can't you do a flush on the 8-speed?

Thanks. Leveled with Fox coil overs. Replaced w/ 2.25 inch blocks in the back. 275/70 r18 Nitto Ridge Grappler (33.2 x 10.8). Top of the fenders are 39.5-40 in the rear, and 38-39 in the front. Its twisted though...in the front the right side is taller, in the back the left side is taller. Only by ~1/2 in. Never bothered to fix it.

That has been my question too, but like everything else here, you have thousands of different opinions.

Brand New vs Now. Spent a lot of time (56k miles) enjoying it stock, but those days are over...

Love the front end change there. The general "dechroming" effect is great. Did you buy new parts, paint existing or what? I have the "same" truck (color/wheels/year/etc) and have been looking into this exact same mod path.

Found the black AT grille online at a salvage yard, and the mirror caps and door handles are new OEM. I removed the pinstripes and door trim myself, and swapped in a used set of 22” honeycomb repros. The bumpers and window belt trim are wrapped. Planning on powder coating the bumpers and replacing the window trim with new black trim. Not a big fan of vinyl wrap because of the durability. Bump into it and you’ll slice right through to the chrome...

Awesome. Thanks for the info. 

 

Definitely going to strip the emblems, and door trim off as soon as it warms up. Have to keep my eyes peeled for a new grill, and some wrap for the bumpers.

 

have a buddy that does powdercoating, might reach out to him and see if he can handle the bumper.

Welcome to the site.

 

Congratulations on your new truck!

Seeing a similar ‘19 next to my ‘16 makes me like mine even more. Lol. Still not a fan of the 2019/2020s.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
