Hey I have a 2015 suburban that came with no fog lights. Bought fog lights and got them installed and I bought a factory fog light switch and it doesn’t work.. in your video you said you have to program something, do you know anything about that? Thanks

I have a 4l60 e from 2009. I just use old cooler line, hook that up to passenger side top radiator. That’s the drain. Dump your pan, filter, clean. Add tranny fluid from pan loss. Dump fresh fluid into dipstick tube. Start engine, monitor gallon by gallon. I’m assuming you have no dipstick?

Thanks for sharing your install video. I ended up buying some longer rubber transmission hose and mounted the catch can in the empty battery tray area on the driver's side of my 2017 Yukon. Added some plastic loom over the lines and it really looks like a factory install. I just did not like the idea of the lines in the way of the oil fill cap on the valve cover. Even with the longer lines the catch can still works like it should. Thanks for sharing your detailed video. Catch cans are a must on these direct injection engines without added injectors spraying fuel over the intake valves. Bad engineering but installing a catch can helps this carbon buildup problem dramatically.

Thanks for making and sharing this great video. However, I really didn't understand the use of the bridging hose with a valve at time mark 1:35. If the valve there is open pressurized fresh fluid would be meeting pressurized drain hose and I think the fresh fluid would simply drain along with the old fluid. Please explain what I'm missing. Thanks.

Just curious, I found this web site about the 6LE80 and 6LE90 transmissions "If you do not have an external transmission cooler, the cooler line flow goes as follows: lower cooler line > lower radiator port > upper radiator port > back to upper transmission line." But you said that the lower line was the out of the transmission and the upper line is the in.
@smokingoatgarage
@smokingoatgarage Жыл бұрын
Check out 12:40 in the video. The upper fitting is the outlet from the trans , lower is the inlet. This was confirmed during the process to make sure I hooked up the exchange system correctly. It also makes sense with the direction of the check ball on the thermostat delete. Also I know earlier models had the cooler in the radiator, but these trucks actually run through the A/C condenser, which is odd.

Thanks for making and sharing this video! I made a similar setup based on this. For anyone looking to recreate this, the only recommendation I'd make is to make sure the transmission outlet port lines can handle the pressure and heat of the fluid. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are, but I literally exploded the clear hose I had for my outlet line while doing this to my 2020 Silverado 6L80 (thankfully it was in my friend's driveway and not in my garage). I ended up just using some compressor hose which was overkill, but it worked well.

Nice setup. Not sure what that special aluminum block with nipples is for. Can’t you just remove existing hoses and connect to them? I’ve thought about making a system like that but I have just as much luck draining 1-2 quarts turning the car off filling 1-2 quarts etc using existing lines. You mentioned Toyota. I tap into the output line coming out of the external cooler in front of the drivers wheel. Works great and exchanges all the fluid after three or four times
@smokingoatgarage
@smokingoatgarage 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment. I built this exchange kit for my Toyota vehicles where I can tap into the cooler lines directly because Toyota uses more conventional hose barbs. The Chevy uses a jiffy tite connector that is harder to adapt to. That’s where the extra block came in. I drop the pan and change that fluid, then perform the exchange to minimize cross contamination of old and new trans fluid. Hope this helps!
