    Where to buy 2008 differential cover?

    Its really not that bad to pull the cover to drain the fluid, especially when the gasket is just sillycone. Think Ill rattle can my cover flat black. It would be nice for someone with a temp sender to post some before and after temps with steel cover and aluminum cover.

    High engine OIL temp

    Replaced it. Its under the oil filter. Apparantly its not that uncommon for them to clog up. The tech wanted to check mine while it was towing, since thats when it was acting up. It sounded like the coolant passages clogged, not the oil passages.

    Tranny trouble

    So, the snapring was a forward drive clutch snapring, nothing ever mentioned in any TSB or recall. The tech said it was just a fluke failure. He had'nt seen any before and said these trannys (torqueshift) are pretty tough. Oh well three grand worth of oh well.
