    Transmission temperatures

    Good point. I didn’t think about it only partially opening and hindering flow. I’ll have to look into what it would take to replace that thermostat. Might be worth it on the next fluid change.

    Transmission temperatures

    I don’t see this being the reason. The thermostat could be working properly but the fluid could be retaining heat differently, or the system could no longer be dissipating heat the same, or the trans could be building heat more than it used to. In all of those, the fluid temp could rise with...

    Transmission temperatures

    Thinking about this more, of the guys seeing an increase in temperatures, do you know what fluids were used?

    2015 Navigator strut replacement.

    How was the install? How long did it take you? Any special tools?

    Transmission temperatures

    It’s a valid question. I’m not sure on mine. What’s the spec’d trans fluid?

    Transmission temperatures

    So the trans cooler is behind the radiator? So, theoretically, if the radiator was running a bit warmer the trans cooler could run a bit warmer too?

    Transmission temperatures

    This is nearly identical to my experience too. Always 190s until the fluid was changed.

    Transmission temperatures

    Hey all, I’m hoping for some education or insight on transmission temperatures and cooling. I have a 2017 EL with the towing package that is used a lot, mostly mountain driving but then towing a few times a year. Over the last five years I have seen a change in the average temperature readings...

    Pulsating transmission brake in 2nd gear

    Ever figure this out? I have felt the same in our ‘16 L but cannot always replicate it. Also, how do you check trans fluid level?

    Advice on things after exhaust manifolds

    Exactly, and thank you! The temperature fluctuations seem to have stopped, all appears to be normal there. I believe you were correct on air in the system. And the fluid leaks looked to be tied to their work, which I had them correct after much debate. Coolant was a line they replaced which...

    Advice on things after exhaust manifolds

    Well I had a pretty poor shop experience and I'm now questioning the quality of work. Hopefully someone can clarify if a few things we're seeing are or are not common for the work done. In short, I had a shop replace both exhaust manifolds along with all of the suggested items: coolant lines...

    Console shifter hole/gap cover thingie.

    I know this is an old thread, but I too want to replace this however I do not see a link to the video. Am I missing something? Anyone happen to have the link to the video mentioned?

    Cracked trim around gear selector?

    Anyone figure this out? I too would like to replace this part on my 2016 but it does not look obvious as to how.

    Permanent disable front parking aid

    Yes. See my post about the pads I installed over the top of the sensors. They have worked for over a year now.

    Power Running boards. I did a thing

    My apologies for the wrong assumption then. No hard feelings.
