hey what kind of ATF should i run in a Goerend tranny? i want to run synthetic but don't really know what kind to run i was thinking royal purple, amsoil, or the like any ideas or links to good cheaper trans fluid for my new dave tranny......also he (dave) recomends dexIII and the additive he includes

 

Valvoline synthetic ATF+4 is what i have in mine.....it's in the blue bottle..... i added the additive to it too and i've never had any problems...... and if you blew all your lines out it'll take ~19 qts to read full on the stick.... hopes this helps....

 

well i'm not going to use +4 because dave spacifically said GM DEX III is what he uses but i think i'm going to use the Valovline seems to be a common response which works for me cheaper....yeah

 

he told if that's all i had (the dex III) then i :q: could :q: use it.... but recomended ATF+3 or better...... the difference is the additives in dex III, +3, and +4..... i'd rather have a better quality fluid with better additives that would prolong the life of my tranny than skimp by and buy inferior fluid, add a little bottle of additive, hope that there is enough in that little bottle and call it good.... my tranny is worth more than my truck is.....(to the bank anyway) i want it to last the full 100K mile warranty..... and then some
