I was on a motorcycle group and a guy there says this Chrysler anti-foaming agent is no longer available thru Chrysler? Part number is
Surely they don't just quit making it when one would still need it?
What are you using it for?
I recall a web page (sorry, long forgotten the URL, maybe Google for it?) where the guy tested oil (Lucas was one oil he tested, and how I found the site) and anti-foaming additives.
Transmission additive. I know when I had my 03 2500 and 05 dually serviced they added it to the transmission and I thought to the rear end too, but I could be mistaken.
Well, if Chrysler calls for it... Personally I've not found much need for it in my trucks, never had a failure I could contribute to foaming.
I'll see if I can run across the web page.
OK, easier than I thought:
Thanks, I've always used it in recent (2001 and newer) trucks, as the dealer puts it in when they service them too. Don't know if it matters, but I did burn up a 2001 1500 tranny woth only 15000 miles on it towing a
5th wheeler.
Automatic? If manual, that would be unusual...
Yes, automatic.
And it crapped out due to foaming? I'd be more inclined to think it was overheating/slipping clutches. Does the 1500 have an 'over temp' light for the transmission (the 2500 HD does, at least my 2004 has one).
Also, did it have a cooler other than one combined with the radiator?
