Don't know anything about that particular brand, but lowering your trans temps should be a top priority for you if you want it to last a long time. You can 'flip the pill' or install a kit and it should run in the 130's or so.

 

I have it installed and as redSLeD stated mine will hang in the 130 to 150 range. When it's 90 + around here it will climb to 180 or so while stuck in traffic. It takes a considerable amount of time to climb that high. As soon as you get some consistent running time getting some airflow across the cooler it drops right back down.

 

Thanks guys. I will follow up with more questions. Before I put any cosmetics/parts on it, id rather spend the money to get the truck in top shape before buying stuff like lifts, brakes, etc. I am also thinking of changing the torque converter as well. I don't think I'll put a cam in, or do any tunes to the truck. I know that the 2018 Chevy, the torque converter sucks. I have been looking at a circle D converter for a 6L80 trans. Specifically a GM 300mm HP Series 6L80 Torque Converter. Sku number 07C-09-09-1A. If you guys know someone, or could recommend other good brands ?

 

My Silverado has the PPE bypass. My trans temps are typically 70-100 degrees above ambient.

Wife's Suburban has the 70C factory updated part. It basically runs the same temps as noted above.

I don't know what SKU your truck needs. But I'm running a Circle D triple-disk 300mm unit in our Suburban. It needs very minor trans tuning according to Circle D...I believe the standard single-disk unit is plug and play, but I would check with them.

Circle D is very proud of their converters and they're priced accordingly. I'm sure there are some good and more-affordable units out there, I'm just not familiar...

 

PPE TBV is good to go, works great!

You may want to look at a trans service and a catch can

 

So I just did the AFM tune out with the Diablo sport I3 tuner, and the catch can will be my next priority. I will probably install the thermal bypass valve sometime this weekend.

 

Thermal bypass is a pretty easy project. You'll need to get some snap ring pliers for that though. Pretty good Harbor Freight purchase. There are a few videos out there that say the AFM delete, addressing the transmission temperature issue and an oil catch can will make these trucks "bullet-proof". I've done the transmission and the catch can, but I'm still using the AFM disabler. Fingers crossed and living the dream!

 

I did mine around October I think and it wouldn't go over maybe 155. Now I'm getting 191 degrees and it's 73 degrees outdoors. Which back in Oct was still around the same temperature outside. What other things would you look into?
