I have an 05 myself 190k and counting clean cooling stacks don't flush tranny, it's not recommended for an allison. Only a drain and fill. Only use allison filters nothing aftermarket make sure you have the magnet on ext filter and fill tranny with Transynd
I’ve heard good things about Puyallup transmission, will a diagnosis tell if it’s just the torque converter ??
That's good news.I was thinking that if there were issues with your tranny you would know it.
Just talked to Ricky at Puyallup trans, what a great guy! He drove it around, had his scanner on it, looked at the fluids and listened to the info I have on it. Bottom line, he thinks the tranny is fine, my fluid looks and smells good, torque converter had zero slip. He thinks maybe having old fluid in it that day it got hot and the fact it was a hot day pulling up the pass might had made it get warm. He thinks I’m good to go, I might put a bigger pan on it the next fluid change, but I guess I’ll pull the trailer over to moose camp in Oct and see what happens. Actually I’ll do a test run next weekend when we go camp at lake Silvia. I’m gonna trust what he’s saying, seems like a great guy, I guess time will tell. I really appreciate ALL the info and ideas, now I’ll just run it till it breaks!! And hopefully get a few years out of it, certainly ain’t spending 80k or more on a new truck! He also said a new rebuilt by jasper for my truck would be about $6k, that’s better than 10k!

FYI regarding Jasper...If there is a problem with a Jasper unit, the last time I dealt with them, they cover $50/hour of the labor and they require the unit to be removed and sent back to them for repairs. No in-house repair. It takes a while for shipping back, repair, ship it back to the shop and have them re-install it. It may have changed as it's been a while. Just something to make note of going in if you have to go that way.
