Or is it a 9mm vs .45 situation?![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Got the 10wt camp that says 'look at the LO'
Got the 15w40 camp that says 'Whatever works'
Got the Dex3 camp that says 'It's the best choice for the price'
Got the Transynd camp saying 'This is what Allison says to use'
10wt camp says 'it's mil spec', says dex3 burns up trannies.
15w40 camp doesn't care.
Dex3 camp says 10wt camp doesn't know what they're talking about.
Transynd camp is... spending a lot of money....![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I converted my last 5 ton to dex3, and it failed shortly after... something I attributed to my mistaken adjustment of the trans linkage on the throttle cable. However, reading the horror stories on dex3 seems to be too coincidental.
Also, there's multiple specs... Allison says off road trannies should still use 10wt.. but then specs transynd for OTR applications...
The only thing that people somewhat seem to agree on is, if it's got 15w40 in it, change it to 10wt.
If it's got dex, keep it dex or switch to transynd.
Thoughts?
