sw Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 the stock coolers are known to block up, thats why theres talk on here of bypassing them with another cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 TPS doesn't have anything to do with trans temp. Get an aftermarket tranny cooler before your transmission kisses you goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromoTech Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 the more you step on the gas it senses it and the transmission shifts accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Er, you can adjust the TPS so it doesn't sense your pedal going down quite so early. They're all adjustable like that, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromoTech Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 I found out that when i put in the new radiator i also removed the oil cooler that was built into the old radiator i was running with NO oil cooler!! well i got the new oil cooler put in and the new throttle position sensor in too i found out that the sensor was almost out of range and it was almost bad. It runs SWEET now just like a new auto I think that the sensor was detecting to late cause id gas it and after about 1 1/2 seconds it would enguage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 How were you running NO oil cooler after replacing the radiator? Did you loop the ends of the cooler lines together, or what? The idea baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Boy Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Spose it should have pumped all its oil out shouldn't it!!!! Man, you are going to be lucky if that tranny sees out another 1000miles if thats what happened!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromoTech Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 well isnt the oil cooler in side of the radiator or beside it? thats what the mechanic told me wich shocked me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Yes, it's basically inside the radiator. Almost all stock radiators are like that. Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Dodge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
