Anyone do a drain and fill for our transmissions? Is there a how to? Use oem fluid or is there a aftermarket fluid that works?
Thanks
Thanks
I've done 4 of them on mine. Many here have done it.
Some drain from the line to radiator.
There is a built in temp check mode but far easier to have an OBD reader which shows you actual AT temps because you have to open the fluid level check valve at specific temp to ensure you don't have an over or under fill.
Some info throughout this CL thread

Seems straight forward. I used to drain and fill my truck once a year for peace of mind.
I actually find it easier than dealing with a dipstick... especially if you have overfilled some. My factory fill was slightly low by 4-6 oz IIRC.

So...
- get fluid to temperature
- drain fluid
- fill fluid until it starts coming out of overflow
- compare quantity of fluid that came out/in

This is what I do.
- Just drain at cold temp
- Refill 1/2 quart over drained amount.
- Run vehicle to 115 degrees
- Remove check valve bolt and drain until fluid goes from a stream to a trickle
- Replace check valve bolt
Done with that drain and fill
Many will say just drain and refill with same amount but you don't know at least on first drain and refill whether accurate or under/over filled

Went up to the cabin for thanksgiving weekend. Took the kids sledding and some hiking. Nice to get out and get some fresh air.

Anyone know a good spot in the PNW for rock sliders? I don’t want to pay for shipping and would rather support a local company.
Metal Tech, they are out of Portland. Call them and pay in person to save sales tax and shipping.
The drawback for me on the MT sliders was only three legs to the frame. Demello has four legs and a plate the parallels the entire length of the frame and slider.

I told myself the roof rack and ditch lights will be it for a while. Already being lifted with wheels/tires and adding the roof rack and ditch lights will be a nice touch. I want a clean look so no bumpers or sliders for now.
