Good to hear that it's still working out for you Roger...I think that as long as you can keep your output shaft in one piece you'll be OK though

I know FLT is using dex III, but have there been any failures due to running dex VI?

I believe Dex VI fluid is lighter viscosity though, as it isn't recommended in the T56 trans like Dex III was so I dont know if that would lead to problems in other transmissions too? I wonder if switching from Dex III to dex VI if your stall speed might change since the viscosity is different? just thinking out loud


so FLT do you recommend conventional or synthetic Dex III and which brand do you guys use?
