Great stuff man. Thanks for adding the link. Im buying the corvette servo & 4th gear billet servo. Waiting on an email reply from Oregon performance on whether or not to get the long pin as well.

the deeper pan alone didn't do a lot temperature wise, maybe 15-20deg (which is what they claim it will do), but the added fluid capacity also helps. I think the b&m pan and the truecool max together are a good combo, I wanted to be in the 120deg area which is exactly what I got. The B&M's for the 6l80e are often on backorder it took me 3 months to get mine and I got the only one in stock then it went back to backorder again. lol, it could be different now I was trying to get mine when there were a lot of fires in the area of there business about 2 hrs from me in Santa Rosa I think Hellwig is over there as well a lot of places were closed.

It’s readily available now

Thanks for taking the time to break everything down for Me.

I’ve listed everything that I’m going to do.

•corvette servo
•4th gear billet servo
•2nd trans magnet
•trans filter & fluid change
•Tru Cool LPD4739 “40k” trans cooler
•B&M Trans pan 70392

I have a few additional questions

A-With the 2nd magnet am I just buying an OEM magnet or is there a better aftermarket version?

B-Also what is the best way to mount it?

C-What fluid is preferred?

D-You had mentioned an adjustment using a tuner. What brand would you recommend?

Appreciated.

I can’t find the HPT install kit for the Tru - Cool

the 70392 is for the 6l80e, this is posted in the nbs section, presuming you posted correctly then you either have the 4l60 or 4l80
in which case
4l60/4l65 = 70260
4l80 = 70295
the truecool can be mounted pretty easily with the included brackets but I put a set of standoffs on mine because the included brackets make it flush to other surfaces I had some 1.5" pieces of aluminum already in my misc junk but you can pick up something similar at any hardware store, you may also want to relocate your ambient temp sensor if it is blocked at all by the truecool otherwise it's going to read the wrong outside temperature.

Your right Man it’s the 70260 for some reason I typed the wrong number

They're more or less all the same shit

B-Also what is the best way to mount it?
It sticks itself to the pan. Nothing else holding it in place - same way the stock magnet and differential cover magnets are secured

C-What fluid is preferred?
I use amsoil multi vehicle. Not the fuel savings stuff - that's a bit thinner

D-You had mentioned an adjustment using a tuner. What brand would you recommend?
I personally have a diablo trinity. Though most on the forum will suggest blackbear. I can't speak to if one's better than the other, but the diablo unit has shift point adjustments

Appreciated.

Also: See here for an install kit for the cooler: https://www.performancetrucks.net/f...nstall-kit-brackets-fittings-hardware-508374/

The whole “sit and wait” doesn’t really appeal to Me. I’d rather try to strengthen it in some way.

Appreciated

The Corvette Servo might be an idea as I too have thought about doing it but if you look up at the side of the transmission where it is, it looks like it may not be very easy to replace yourself.

It's not bad really. I did it in my driveway no problem. Getting the snap ring back in is the hardest part. I found an excellent write up I saved if you guys need it.

I use AC Delco Dexron VI that I buy from my local Dealership. You may just want to get something a bit cheaper at your local auto store.
