Well, found an older instruction sheet that may apply. Have not located a newer version if it Is there a site or database for me to search for updates or other applicable documents?
This one was
JANUARY 31, 2000 Article 00-3-8 Part of the Fluid In-Line filter kit
Short form
ISSUE:
Solid particle contaminants from prior transmission concerns or excess wear may be trapped in the transmission fluid cooling system if not properly flushed. Debris remaining in the fluid cooling system contaminates repaired/replaced transmissions causing premature or repeat failures.
ACTION:
After every overhaul or transmission exchange, clean, flush and backflush the transmission fluid cooling system, which includes: fluid cooler, auxiliary cooler, cooler lines, and Cooler Bypass Valve (CBV), if equipped. Perform the cooler flow test to ensure proper transmission fluid flow volume on the transmission return line through the cooling system. Once proper fluid flow volume is verified install the Transmission Fluid In-Line Filter Kit (XC3Z-7B155-AA) in the fluid cooler return line (transmission fluid flow coming out of the fluid cooler going into the transmission). Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
OR Have an idea here......, anyone have the 99-03 7.3L current Fluid In-Line Filter kit instructions sheet they can send me? I'm guessing the instructions should state about the same.
Lastly, where is the bypass valve located at? I need to find and see if it was even replaced or needed replacing?
So disgusted……..
