Thanks for watching. I don't think I did grease up that oring. I should have. From what I remember, I do have the Vulcan motor. It is the pushrod version, not the overhead cam. I'm so glad for that. I've heard horror stories about the timing chains on those.

@360plussynthetics you probably do have a Vulcan, a 3.0 liter pushrod 12 valve. Something about it makes a lot of rust. Probably the best you can do is use distilled water in your mix, and have a filter as you do. Changing the freeze plugs and flushing out down there would be great, but that seems to be a major pita, at least on my Taurus. I plan on using a polypropylene strainer housing with an 80 mesh cleanable screen, mainly to keep the heater core from reclogging every year.

@dwayne0t awesome, thanks for the info. I'd like to pull the whole thing and freshen up the rings, bearings, and check the heads one of these days.

​@@360plussyntheticsyou sound like you know your stuff. I wish we were neighbors, then I might get the nerve for a teardown like that :p

@dwayne0t I'd love to have another ranger neighbor near by. I'm it an expert but have rebuilt a few engines in the past. Just need to decide to do it someday.

28mpg 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oka we had a 2wd reg cab long box 02 duramax best we could get was 20mpg at 110km/h

@taylorh3930 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got proof buddy I average 22 to 24mpg city and 28 to 30 highway or interstate and yes that's a fully loaded trailer dozers semies combines and heads I haul so sorry ya got a shit year but early 03 to later 04 lb7s got phenomenal mpgs I also have mods done as well sorry not sorry bud

Thus is my 1993 Ranger. I bought it used. The coolant was brown from rust and who knows what that the prior owner did for maintenance

@360plussynthetics oh wow thats crazy almost like mud

Yes. Transmission Control Module. It's the programming for the transmission like the ECM is the programming for the engine.

@@360plussynthetics Thank you, for the knowledge!

That's exactly what I heard also. Transmission is the same, valve body is all that's different. Wish they would have done the 6pd from the start.

Mine needs that 6 speed swap as soon as possible I’m saving up to do it my self

Nothing that we need to change. Just what comes with the valve body already installed. Everything is plug and play.

Sorry deep pan is additional 4 quarts sorry . So ur about right and I was wrong

No problem. Honestly, I have no accurate idea.. other than the deep pan adding 4qts, every time I do a fluid change, the amount I've had to add back has been different. I believe it all depends on how long you let it drain before putting the pan back on and filling back up. It seems like transmissions take a lot longer to finish draining than the engine for an oil change.

I have not had any problems. They recommended using dex6 fluid, so I used AMSOIL ATL, which is their equivalent fuel efficient formula to dex6.

@@360plussynthetics can u share a link so I can buy it thanks

The conversion kit? I just went to duramaxtuner website and search for your spacific application. For the AMSOIL go here www.amsoil.com/c/transmission-fluid/19/?zo=1382872

Yes for amsoil

I appreciate your time and interest in the video. www.amsoil.com/guides/?zo=1382872 Here's a link to find spacific products for your vehicle.

Yup. I've moved away from brake cleaning everything. I got one of those pump sprayers from HF also and use purple power degreaser.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with semis or their trans temps. Could be a difference in location and ambient temps. 40° in one state and 85° in another. Heck even in the same state, one week to the next can fluctuate this time of year. Hope everything is good.

Oh wow. I'm sorry, I don't know. My best guess would be an internal temperature sensor or switch. If you have a code reader, I'd hook it up the next time it happens and see what codes show up.

Ah, sorry about that. I didn't think about it at the time. It is pretty straight forward though. Unbold the one and put the new one back in its place. The two valve bodies are identical in bolt patterns and such. There's no extra gasket or other check balls . The only difference is the position of that one solenoid. Thanks for watching and the interest.

Preventative maintenance is key. Mine was so nasty when I got it, this ended up being the only way to clean the system no matter how many flushes I did to it.

Thanks, I appreciate the comments. After the first filter, I've changed it one more time. I'm to the point of changing it if instant feeling a drop in heat output in the heater core to keep me warm. It's still doing good, so I'll probably do once a year from here on out.

I got the kit from duramaxtuner.

@@360plussynthetics thanks

I honestly didn't notice any or negligible. If I maintained 65mph everywhere, I probably would, but this has enabled me to do 75 with a lot more ease and comfort in the drivability. RPMs stay just below 2k at that speed.

Thanks, I was thinking of doing it, Since you haven’t seen a big improvement I won’t bother.

I was wondering that also, but I had/have no way of checking that pressure, and the new one hasn't leaked a drop. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Awesome! Thanks for the input 👍🏻

Amsoil is formulated beyond manufacturers' specs in all their lines. The only ones that aren't dexos or have the starburst logo( API) approval are the signature series lines. The OE and XL line are. The reason for this is so that AMSOIL can change and improve the formula any time they want. For any company to get those logo approval, they have to submit the formula and PAY for the stamp to use it. Rest assured that AMSOIL is ever improving and changing their formulas to exceed any manufacturers minimum specifications.

Good stuff. A true PAO oil. I'll stick to the FIRST synthetic!

Duramax tuner supplies it just look it up and another thing that doesn’t help your current situation is your gear ratio and tire size. Depending on what those are contributes to either the higher or lower rpm’s at highway speeds.

Awesome. Maybe I'll see you there. Haven't got my tickets yet, and will be on a job at that time, but the boss says I can take a few days off to go. Fingers crossed it all works out.

Truth. I agree with you.

@@360plussynthetics If the US goes back to producing, fuel/oil drops dramatically along with the prices of necessities here. Because if the oil worker goes home happy, he's gonna want a steak, so companies fight hard to attract such customers therefore tough competition drops prices as long as they keep buying their products they keep prices reasonable to keep their customers happy.
