mine just did.

~14k miles

GM would not participate in any repairs, under any circumstances.

talked my way up to John Martin (regional guy for alabama and mississippi)
678.787.7200

~$2000 for a new radiator, external tranny cooler, and some other work.

pulling out the stops for a 4L80E - I'd rather blow a diff than another trans.

Your welcome......
I have put about 10,000 miles on it since the install. The trans is running great and the temp (with about 5500 lbs behind me) has only gone up to 165 highest and that is at about 3500 rpm uphill - as soon as I level off (rpm to 2500) the temp comes right back down. The average outside temp at that time was between 90 and 95 and humid......

I know this is old But I have a 1 question

My trans cooler burst on me this week I am going to install external trans cooler. If I flush everything real good will I still need to replace the radiator if I hook up the bypass?

I cought this early enough that I think I saved the trans but I will find out from the transmission shop soon . Sounds like I have a 50 /50 chance the warrenty company will cover all of this mess. lets hope for the best.
