    the biggest killer of trannys is debris in the fluid along with a cooler i would add a second aux filter the more fluid you have the cooler it will be as well

    Hitch and wiring, aux back-up light, rear strobe lights, radio and underseat sub.
    Considering that it is a closed system, and it has a filter, this is a misnomer. Heat is the biggest killer of transmissions. Look at the chart of transmission fluid life expectancy at various temps:

    Called the local Autoparts store, getting ready to do this mod. I got the Hayden 678, but wanted to buy some extra transmission hose juuuuust in case I needed it. Guy on phone said to use 3/8, but kit I have came with 11/32.

    Should I just ditch the 11/32 that came with it and buy a large amount of 3/8?
