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

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

Put in a Pioneer 8500NEX + front and rear cameras.
Added a Optima Yellow Top battery as a secondary.
Took her down some firer roads with a buddy.
Found out the Driver's side engine mount was trashed.
Put some Ray Bestos R3oo rotors and Police pads on it and a new motor mount.
Took her to my buddies in-laws in Havasu.
Launched the boat a few times...parked it among it's family.
Pulled his boat home.



It's coming, I'm on the clock now. It'll have to wait. :'(
How'd you do the Yellow Top secondary? Parallel or isolated?

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