One would think,, Huh?

Not many results for transmission service or any variable.

Thanks Hummerman... for your info. I might end up having to go the dealership for my trans flush.

Just bought the external trans oil cooler.

I'm thinking it would be best to install that before the trans flush. Anyone have a different opinion?

Definately switch to Dexron VI for the tranny & T-Case. It already has the newer anti-foaming spec, more shear stable, high temp stable, lower pour point, and the friction properties are MUCH better. My truck shifts like butter and the switch.

Dex 4 for the transfer case??

I already stuck redline D4 (dex 3 equivalent) in the TC

[pdxrealtor]

Well I've got most of it complete. Put the new shocks on yesterday. Getting the tranny service and corvette servo done tomorrow.

I'm still waiting on the stabilizer bracket but a side from that it's done.

Really glad I did it myself. Saved a lot of money, know its done right, and know my truck a little bit more.

Damn I want some long tubes and exhaust. And some heads and a cam, larger injectors.....

No you should have used Dex VI.

The manual does not say dex 4, it says dex 3 or the like with an H specification.

Haven't done any reading about others using dex 4 in the TC. But I did read about a lot of people who put Redline D4 in the TC. Also read about a couple people going back to the GM approved fluid due to the 4 wheel light coming on briefly.

You're the first to say dex 4. Care to elaborate for us?
