Glad to see that you were keeping 'hydrated' during the snow storm.

 

[Bill 1960]

You dropping the pan for trans fluid changes, or pumping it out through the cooler line?

Is there an ELI5 for this procedure? I want to drain and refill without dropping my AT pan.

Haha yeah, hydration is important! That was actually just for the pic. I emptied that bottle before setting up my bed in the back the night before.

I dropped the pan on the first two after I burned the fluid which is why I did a change and drove it like A thousand Miles and then get another change.

That being said, whenever I finally get around to relocating my trans cooler and probably running AN lines for everything, I'll do another fluid change but try and pump it all out that way I know all of it is fresh.

How'd you do the Yellow Top secondary? Parallel or isolated?

 

[Bill 1960]

I had to search that term to find out what it meant LOL.

I have seen it written up on numerous forums over the years and I’m sure it’s on yew tube. It’s not difficult: disconnect the cooling line at the radiator and then idle until it spits a little air; shut off. Refill the transmission and repeat until you see fresh fluid draining rather than old. Reconnect the line and then top off to the correct level.

Old Raspy?

Uh, what?

Ghetto isolated parallel.
Grabbed those threaded disconnect Terminals from the auto parts store.
1 on each battery so I can use them each alone if I want.
