Got the tranny flushed and new tires on.......
Got the tires on no problem..........
Anyone want the old ones?
It's always good having an ASE Tech as a best friend............
Tranny flush went without a hitch, didn't bother changing the filter. The old fluid looked pretty damn good too!!!!
I changed out the diff fluid as well; only bout 2 quarts as it calls for a little less, but I didn't feel 'comfortable' after only adding the two as it wasn't really coming out of the fill hole like I'm used to....so I added about a half of another pump (after opening a third quart) and it started coming out nice and regular. Just figured I'd share for anyone else who's gonna change theirs; I'd buy three quarts vice only two.
Wasn't able to change the rear axle fluid as I couldn't find the friction modifier. Prolly get that done next week.
As for hoping that the intermitant(sp?) tranny issues I've been having would be solved by the tranny flush........not really any noticable change.
Gotta really clean out the throttle body and see if that helps. If not I'll be trying to find someone with a scanner that can read Ford tranny codes..........
