Action starts at 12 seconds. The filter worked fine for thirteen days until this.
Today the Dallas rep came and took the filter I originally purchased. I asked him what they were made of and he gave me an 800 number for product information. Susan Thompson answered and refused very rudely to disclose anything and directed me to look at their product info website. She wouldn't tell me what specific plastic, whether it was thermoset or a thermoplastic, melting temperature, anything.
The man I spoke to initially suggested a bursting failure was impossible if it was correctly installed, with a separate bypass valve (despite the lack of instructions to install one in the box). So, a few questions for the gurus here:
What cooler line pressures would a 4t65e transmission generate?
Does the 4t65e have an internal bypass in case of cooler blockage?
Any idea as to flow rate of 4t65e transmission cooler?

They have a company policy for yielding poor customer service. I was told that I would have to pay to repair everything out of my own pocket, submit receipts for approval, and then I might see some money if they decide their own filter was bad, which doesn't seem likely since the tech claims it's "impossible." Odds are I'll have to take them to small claims court to see any compensation...
For what it's worth, my truck has a Derale remote filter mount installed for transmission filtration with a Fram XG8A filter. Works phenomenally, and after installing it cleaned the fluid right up. It's all aluminum and metal oil filter though.
If nobody can provide the answers, I'll try to come up with some mounts to add to the lines for sensors to measure temps, pressures, etc. I'll keep you posted. Also, I have ruled out the possibility of electrical fires from either the wiring harness or the radiator fan.
Apologies for the quick post and any spelling errors. I'm on lunch. I'll try to post pictures of the instructions and anything relevant tomorrow.
