How much $$ is that going to run me? I have a trans cooler as it it, but its tiny. I was just going to put a bigger unit on there.

 

there is a couple threads on here, you can find the SD one for $100 online I think and its WAAAAAYYYYYY bigger than the stock one!

So what if I pick up a used one via the parts department at work? It would be super cheap. All I would have to do is straight swap it in right?

how cheap could you get one?

 

Thats alot of good info. I could get one pretty cheap I would assume. I would get a dealers discount.. so just like as though a dealer was purchasing the part.

 

id buy one off ya if the price right.

 

No problems.. I will check at work tomorrow. I am trying to not spend so much on the truck for a lil bit.. that trans set me back a bit

 

yeah, transmissions are expensive!! i hope my stocker lasts a LONG time!

 

.. and I still need to buy a engine.. Geezuz! My stock trans lasted 191k and then haha dump.

 

Well its safe to say that I toasted my old trans. My dad helped me drop it out this morning, and the fluid is a nice brown color with the smell of burnt clutches. It was a little bit low on fluid(or so I am told), but it wasn't enough to have it run hot. Apparently it was just "its" time to go. Luckily we didn't have to take the exhaust out or even lift the truck at all to drop it either .

The new trans comes in monday so the truck is ready for it to go in.. just a waiting game now. I have a question. I am told that I need to get my ECU reflashed when the new trans is put in, and I have no idea where I should go to do that. Have any of you guys got yours reflashed and where did you do that?

 

I don't know why you would need to get it reflashed if you are doing a straight swap.

 

A C6 won't bolt to a 4.6L. There may be an adapter available.

 

Thats what I was thinking. The guy at monster said I should reflash it so that the computer doesnt think I still have the old trans in it. I appreciate the response. I probably wont get it reflashed.
