Re: Auto transmission cooler
ok so here it is from chrysler.. tsb 26-003-07
DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems
include: engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and
refrigerant. The only exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle
maintenance schedules, e.g. engine coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has
occurred and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated
beyond the normal operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine,
transmission, brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can
damage the system elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid,
leading to loss of system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the
original approved system fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSEŽ
approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with
Mopar Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing
to remove all deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the
specified coolant and distilled water.

ok and as for dealers revoking waranty.. thats up to the dealer in most cases sometime the distric reps get involved if its something more serious.
my dealership we sell the flushes, so if say for some freak chance a flush causes a failure we are not going to revoke someone waranty if they got the work done by use. maybe if it was done by some speedy lub place.
most dealers are good about waranty if you take your vehical to them for its regular mantance.
if your a due it yourselfer or like to take it to the independant for mantance thats where the dealers get picky about if to give you or not to give you waranty. either way keep a log of work done and keep your bills. dealers like to see history of whats been done.
