Transmission fluid change

[DontTaseMeBro]

Coming up on 50k miles. From what I gather, it's pretty straightforward to change out the fluid. The only question I have for those who have done it is does the exhaust on a 4x4 6.2 Yukon have to be removed in order to drop the pan?

Gotta drop the y-pipe. Replace the exhaust gaskets even if they look fine.

Does that include removing one of the front wheels and liners to get full access to it?

On my 5.3, I was told on here to simply unbolt the rear trans mount and gently jack up the rear of the trans until I could get the pan out. I got it jacked some and could reach in and unplug the filter to get plenty of room to remove pan....put it back on the same way....it was easy peazy Did not have to mess with exhaust. Good Luck

I unbolted the trans mount and lifted the transfer case and it was very tight getting the pan out. If it would not have been in the winter, I would have dropped the y pipe the right way. I have a 2021 Suburban with a 6.2.
