Hello all,
I have a 1971 Ford F-250 Camper Special, 360ci C-6 tranny and it has a (I believe after-market installed) transmission cooler. The other weekend as I was crossing Mt Hood with a decently heavy load (and quite frankly, pushing it fairly hard) I started losing Tranny fluid out of the filler pipe whenever I would go around a left-hander (the filler is on the passenger side so a left-hander would slosh fluid that way). That made me wonder: I presume that adding an extra cooler naturally adds volume to the system thus, how does one go around checking the fluid level? Will checking the dip-stick "when hot, in neutral" give an accurate reading or is there some other way to measure and take into account the added capacity? Thanks in advance,
