Flip the pill vs. tap and plug?

[RLC2020]

I'm doing a full service on my trans this weekend. Amsoil fluid, new filter, and I'm either going to "flip the pill" or tap and plug the thermostat housing. Not sure what method would be best honestly. I can't do the newly release thermostat replacement because I have a 2015 with the clip style cooler lines, so I either need to flip or plug my existing housing.

I live in Florida and it never goes below freezing where I am, I do tow regularly, but nothing over 4k lbs 99% of the time. Is flipping the pill going to do what I need, or should I take the extra steps to tap the housing and install a plug?

TYIA for any input.

I tapped mine it was easy enough, just seemed like there would be better flow doing that

I ended up just flipping the pill. Turns out that my 2015 actually has the bolt on style lines instead of the older clip style. I may buy the newer style thermostat housing down the road, but for now it's running much cooler. Didn't go over 135 on my way to work this morning!

I don't believe you have one in your 2014.

Flipped mine. Didn't get past 172 towing enclosed 4600 pounds. Stays around 120-130 cruising around town. I would see 195-200 easily around town not towing before I flipped it.

I would love to do this (new Tahoe owner here!!) but would like to watch a video or read a detailed thread if possible.
Anything out there like this?
