new to the American scene

cn you help me out guys. I wanna go through it head to toe changing all fluids.

 

From what I have read in other posts, there is a filter inside but you have to drop the pan to change it.

I think it is one of those jobs that is a case of being careful and not rushing it and you should be fine.

I'm sure others will be along to help soon

 

Very easy.

Drop the pan,
Looses one side first so the oil drops out controlled.

You just pop the oil filter off it's housing and reinstall new one.
Use a new gasket and re bolt.

 

I take the return line from cooler off, route to graduated bucket with plastic tubing, and run engine to.pump out 3-4 qt before drop pan

Easy peasy no mess

 

Drain the converter, if you can, keep track of how much you have removed, and use the proper fluid. You should have no problems.

 

How do I do that...I've never owner an auto before. And how would I refill it ??

 

How do no refill after..any special tricks or things to do on refill

 

Bolt everything back up and fill from the trans dipstick tube in the engine bay.

 

Seen some you tube videos ..looks simple enough
Some say refill as it's emptying with engine running
​​​​​​​Good advice ??

 

On your truck, there should be a drain plug on the converter. Take off the cover and rotate the engine until it is at the bottom. Take the plug out, and let it drain. I would put 1/2 of the fluid in, before starting the engine, then keep checking, and filling until it's full. Run the shifter thru the gears, and check in P with the engine running.
