Jeff what oil do you recommend for best performance in your 47re transmissions?
I run AMSOIL my self.
Thats what I have in it now but I just had a friend that put Amsoil in his full billet suncoast 48re and it made it slip really bad. I would like to know if Amsoil is had too much lubrication to let the clutches grab properly which would cause them to slip and prematurely wear out.
how do you flush a billet trip disc conv in the drive way???
there is no room for a drain plug in one (the front clutch is there instead) and the damn things must hold 8 qts!
Hmm my triple disk convertor has a drain plug.
I have ran amsoil in my puller for 4 years. If I am in and out of the trans making changes I drain it into a clean bucket, change the filter and pour it back in.
What ATF from Amsoil are you guys running? I too am a dealer of Amsoil and know it is great oil but don't want to jeopardize a 7k transmission either.
The truck that I heard this from was a 2006 with the 48re. It is modded to over 700 hp. The guy serviced his trans and put in Amsoil to give it a shot and see how good it was. That weekend at the race track the trans started slipping and dropping gears. He pulled the pan the next week and checked everything and it was all good so he flushed the Amsoil out and put Valvoline ATF+4 in it and now it shifts nice and firm and is back to normal. He was using Amsoils Synthetic Universal Transmission Fluid. It looks like the Amsoil was the cause of it slipping and acting up. Has anyone else had this problem? Could the Amsoil have too much lubrication for our dodge transmissions?
