A little love for White Lightning.......

[gsbrockman]

Just this week, I decided I’d throw a little love at White Lightning in the form of a PML AS69RC Deep Transmission Pan.

I ordered it Sunday night, and it arrived today.

I’m currently at 102,400 miles, but 120,000 miles will be here before ya know it!!!!

I already have a new transmission pan gasket.....I’ll be ordering a new sump filter within a week or two.

Looks like a quality piece. I like getting parts in the mail!

Ha! And I thought you got some moonshine.

Ha! And I thought you got some moonshine.

That would probably involve some banjo music....

Ha! And I thought you got some moonshine.

That's for the install party.

Since my 4500 is speed limited to 87 mph.....I simply run the moonshine in the daughter’s B5 Blue Challenger.

We burn it's twin brother, E-85. Love it in the older engines.(that's what we set them up for). Pretty car. Any mods?

Nahhhhhhh.....it’s bone stock, except for I did add factory remote start just last December. I did the hard parts install, and had a good dealer enable the sales code and program the fobiks. I now have four working fobiks.....just two with remote start.

When I said “I simply run the moonshine in the daughter’s B5 Blue Challenger”.....I meant in gallon jugs...or quart jars.....in the trunk.

Curious why you are adding the pan? The AISIN already runs extremely cool in ALL temps and conditions.

Thanks! Very informative.

It was a serious question, oh well.

Well......you asked a question. I answered it.

Now....it appears as if the answer I provided was “NOT” the answer you anticipated or expected.

I had some extra coin. I wanted to increase my transmission fluid capacity by about 4 quarts. I’m coming up on my 120,000 mile service. It was in stock.

I can list more reasons......if you desire to read them.

When the truth is as hard to come by as it is nowadays, I imagine you took him by surprise. Most people who buy trinkets for their trucks attempt justify their purchase with some reference to dubious benefits. I’m sure he wasn’t expecting that answer.
To their credit the manufacturer only claims a 5 degree temp reduction from stock. That’s refreshing also.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnd because you can.

Best answer in TDR history!

You no doubt picked up on the usage of quotation marks in posts #11 and #13 I take it?

Look familiar?

Hey I think you know you like to mess with people. If ya just wanted it and bought it that's great.

I was just trying to figure what benefit it would have for YOU. I added a MagHytec to my 68RFE and the trans temps were consistently lower than others. Like I said the AISIN runs VERY cool in all conditions.

As usual on this forum there is the noise from the bleachers.

 

[gsbrockman]

The only reason I bought it......was that I indeed simply wanted to.

No issues with transmission fluid temperatures.

No issues with the AS69RC.

For what I paid for the pan....I certainly could have purchased a lot more Mobil 3309 and performed 20k fluid changes instead of 30k fluid changes.

Did I mention I bought it for no other reason than I wanted to?

 

[Cummins12V98]

"20k fluid changes"

I am sure you meant to say "20k *PARTIAL* fluid changes"
