transmission hot message
I just got my new trans this week. 03 sierra k 1500. it has a 5.3 with a front mount turbo. i never had the trans getting hot before. i have a 3400 stall. it only seems to get hot when i get on back roads where i am on and off the throttle. i installed a new cooler with the trans. it didnt do this with the pevious transmissions. any ideas?

Its a hayden cooler. the one that came with the new performabuilt trans and yes it locks up like it always had. i am going to check the cooler flow this afternoon. i am wondering if the converter s causing heat

EXACTLY the same thing happened to me...I ended up replacing my cooler and discovered a kinked line. Make sure its good good airflow as well...tune also plays a part regarding shift points and lockup, but u seem to have that under control. I'd suggest changing fluid if u drove it too far after the msg...u can tell if the fluid burnt. R/
