Hey guys, just wanted to ask a question and report something about my Aisin transmission. First, what's everyone's Aisin transmission temp running when traveling empty (at normal operating temps). I can't seem to get mine off 163 degrees.
Anyhow, made a road trip this weekend (about 70 miles). It was...
Just thought I'd add something to this thread. My 2015 3500 seems to have a very accurate DEF gauge. Most have said it's not linear, but my gauge seems to be just that. It very slowly decreases or moves to empty over time...almost like my fuel gauge. I've refilled a few times in 5600 miles...
Glad everything worked out on this for you, Mr Brockman. Just curious, the rumble or vibration you felt, I assume it was at highways speeds?
Notice it more when empty or when towing? Apologize if I missed that in thread.
As always, thanks to Transengineer for the detailed reporting. Smart guy!
Curious, Transengineer, can you provide the same document/link for the Aisin transmission?
You probably won't feel it because of all the torque management these boogers have. If you could really feel 900 lbs ft/torque, we'd be ripping axles from beneath our trucks, and the axles of anything attached behind our trucks!
Still a lot of power tho!
Boy, I wouldn't dare put those filters on my truck, but that's me! I'd spend the extra cash and get a new one - I get my Mopar filters from Wal-Mart and have not noticed any rust. I'll sure watch for it now, however.
No offense, but I agree with gsbrockman - the only place for those filters...
Thanks again, my fiend. Really appreciate all the feedback. Another question, does the shudder contribute to more extensive wear and tear on other parts of the drive line? Am I going to break something prematurely?
Yeah, I have never seen a label of sorts. I believe the HD trucks some standard with limited slip. What are you going to fill it with? 75/90? How many miles did you have on the fluid?
Very nice! I've found it difficult to get my Aisin transmission temps over about 170 - kinda amazing. The Aisin is a workhorse. It usually runs about 168 degrees, regardless of what I'm doing - empty or towing. And 98 degrees outside temp is pretty hot!
