Point 2 ... Wrong
Point 3 If not properly maintained and have a proper flow rate... Wrong
Point 4 At least according to GM... Wrong
Point 5 Any? How bout a poorly flowing/designed one?... Wrong

I wasn't going to chime in on your "facts" list because I read them as opinions. However, without a LOL in your reply writing to astroturf it seems clear to me that this is not a case of a lack of face to face conversational understanding. Some of your "facts" are positively wrong ! Others are indeed disputable.

I already stated that I believe that measuring temperature on the return line is not a good idea. I have asked you several times throughout this topic to explain your fact (opinion). You have not. Why ?

As to your "Not sure how Lifted AWD clarified anything, more of opinion and anecdotal information." I believe that we had an actual report from someone who measured from both the test port and the "cooler" line within the same time frame. I conclude this as a real fact to note.

Point 2... Very vague because the manual recommends changing transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 miles if the vehicle is used hard. How often are you saying it should be done ?

Point 4.... Totally wrong according to all automobile manufactures and actual studies.

Point 5....Wrong because there is some junk out there.

Point 6.... Also wrong because there is some junk out there in this department as well.

Point 7....Partially to mostly wrong because 200F is the top end of the normal operating range of 180F to 200F. Transmissions in stop and go traffic heat up more when stopped than when moving but in no way because "cooling is more efficient moving".

Point 8....Not required for non hard use driving.

Point 10... Wrong because doing so will reduce engine efficiency with well below normal operating temperatures.

I am sure that you will get it done.

Especially if you take everyone of your medications and extra memory pills for the picture report.

After all, you said that you are on the Board, whereas, with the sum of my positive intentions, I haven't shown up to the Board yet.

Good Luck !!

I will (may) be waiting to hear and see what you did.
