Its gonna go in the 04 silverado I just picked up with the 240,000 mile 8.1

Just curious, seems like a fun project.

Yea.. Like I said the guy has one in an 86 or 87 stlye truck And he said it was easier then he thought,

So putting it into a truck that came with that motor shouldnt be so tough especially with the allison already there. Im pretty sure the one I won comes with the ecm/pcm and tcm.. Even the rear because its an 8.1 truck has the 11.5 ring gear.

C/k out duramaxfourm.com. Lots of good info. transdyn fluid is what I would put in the trans.

Thanks, Whats the deal with the transdyn stuff? Is it full synthetic?

The Transynd is what you want. Had a '07 Allison 6 spd & believed a oil salesman that their stuff was as good. It wasn't & the trans shifted weird until I flushed it out & replaced with Transynd again. Temps stayed cooler as well.

Fwiw, another guy I know had a 07 Dodge 3500 Cummins & used Amsoil exclusively in everything. The only thing it did not work in was the trans in that truck & went back with the factory recommended stuff.

My point being that I always thought approved this or that was probably a buy in sort of deal. With the trans fluid it was not the case.

I've said this once, I've said it a thousand Times, and I'll Say it a Thousand more: Use ATF+4 AND ONLY ATF+4 in a Chrysler Transmission; Anything else will cause the Transmission to not work right (or in Extreme Cases, completely destroy the Clutches and Solenoid Pack!)

There was a local commercial truck dealer who I got both the Castrol Transynd & the red spin on filters from. Filters were like $8 & right at $20 per gal. on the fluid. Pretty sure I checked with GM & they were higher, but do not remember the differences now. I owned that truck from 2007-2011, so prices may have changed as well.
