[QUOTE="Sgt Dog, post: 4123136, member: 15840"] I’m not certain but I can look in a bit. You may know just from the 5.3. Always been told the engine and tranny were paired for milage (20mpg). When I started to pull a light RPOD all over the Northwest to shooting matches I was told it was wasn’t exactly built for passes in Montana and Idaho. And that seemed the case about halfway up as I watched the transmission temp climb. It was ok on the flat. The real rub I had was a minor front-seal leak that started at about 75,000 miles. Dealer said that was a $2300 hickie so I just added fluid a couple times a year. Always serviced it at proper intervals though. Now it feels like I can sort of detect it slipping just a little. And it is just now starting to hit higher gears a little hard in town. I don’t know squat about automatic transmissions in case you hadn’t gathered that yet😉. Btw, you have an Evo? I have a 98 Roadking I’m postponing the inevitable with. Advanced Glaucoma dictates I should let that old girl go someday. Had it for 25 years now. Embarrassing to say how many miles it has.
