Allison transmission service

[LBZ]

............

There are a number of adapters ( Nicktane, ADP... ) you can buy to run a $20 CAT 2micron fuel filter. Adapter pays for itself quickly.

What is the P/N on that filter? I'm diitching my stock filter housing and want to switch to a different 2micron-preferably a CAT and then just buy a filter housing that fits it.

Depending on what year u have Dexron 6 is not compatible with the seals in some Alli's. There is a serial number in 2006 that tells you what should be used. Prior to this SN Dex 6 is not compatible with the seals. After Dex 6 is fine. Transynd is the best stuff going for a stocker. Mobil Delvac (with the Alli symbol on jug) is also a 295 spec fluid and is supposedly a good fluid. Amsoil never paid for the 295 spec but they say Torque Shift is a identical fluid.

Drop the fluid, refill with Transynd, drive for 1/2 hour or so, drop fluid and change filter, refill with Transynd. That nets you 90% Transynd and you are good for 160,000 miles according to the guy who wrote the 295 spec. Money

Funny thing is most GM dealers tell you to use Dex 6 and have no clue about this Allison issue.

Mopar's atf+4 can replace almost any transmission fluid, except the cvt's........... They gaurantee it, and i have the literature from dodge about it.....it's full synthetic and much more affordable than any other sytnthetic transmission fluid out there. Jus' sayin'
