PPI Tran-X automatic trans filter system
To give you a taste of what the SEMA Show brings, here’s just a preview of the types of innovative new products of interest to the professional pickup user we’ll be spotlighting as the SEMA Show draws closer — and as we spend a week walking the miles of isles to be the eyes of the ProPickup reader:
Pareto Point Industries Tran-X
Pareto Point Industries (PPI) introduces Tran-X, an new bypass-grade (2 micron) filtration system specifically designed for automatic transmissions with spin-on oil filters, such as the Duramax/Allison.
Tran-X is easy and fast to install; and the bolt-on design requires no transmission modification.
According to Adan Reinosa, P.E, PPI’s President, “By removing damaging contaminants, Tran-X optimizes transmission performance, providing for better and smoother shifting, and contributing to a longer transmission life cycle. Given the cost for a new or even a rebuilt transmission, and the significant down-time that would be required, this is very inexpensive insurance.”
