You are one of the best creators. Do not stop making videos please!
Thanks Pal
Great video. Got me through doing my tranmission oil. Very detailed and easy to follow along. Thank you. Awsome job
Thanks for taking the time to let me know the video helped Richard. I like hearing how I helped people. Cheers!
Good job on the video. Everything explained well along with the use of the manual. Well done.
Magnificent work my friend!
THANK YOU!!! May God bless you.🙏👍
Thanks. God Bless you too my friend.
Best Video out there ! Thanks Did mine today. It made it a lot easier
Excellent Victor!
Thank you for an entertaining and informative video! Extremely helpful!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the great comment Lindsay!
Another great video...my 2005 Canyon has 91,000 and is overdue for trans. fluid change. Think I'll try it myself. Keep on wrenching.
Yeah, your Rado is getting up there... have fun with that Rick. Thanks for commenting. Good luck!
Mines at 95,000.. z71 that was in the mountains of NC for its whole life. Not terrible with rust, but not perfect. Definitely needs the trans, front and rear diff, and the transfer case. Plus I think it needs a thermostat
Thanks for the video- from Buffalo NY
Hey Matt, I've been to Buffalo NY. My son played in a hockey tournament there. We stayed a week, saw the sites and had a blast. Cheers!
Lol you remind me of McMurray. Great video! Very helpful. I had a 2012 Colorado. Was pretty nice to work on. My 2019 Colorado is a nightmare to work on.
Thanks Joseph. The 2019's are harder to work on?
@@cantletherdiediy1050 the 8L45 transmission is at least. The flushing process is not straight forward at all.
That's great ! I try to tell co workers the job is always hard if your not having fun .
Hmm at the moment you smacked the new transmission filter 17:07 was how the microscopic crack formed. Perhaps the last guy also gave it hefty smack into place.
No, it was cracked all along. Pushing on the filter you can hear it sliding into the seal nice and snug...the sound that tells you it is installed properly. Good comment though...keep them coming :)
Excellent
Just a comment, the gasket O-ring is made of rubber and rubber will be turned into hard due to heat and eventually it will leak. So it’s good practice to replace with the new o-ring. Also, it’s included in the gasket kit.
Dude, you rock! From the U.S.A.!
Thanks Matthew! I'm glad my videos are a help
Your best video yet! Very detailed and lots of helpful tips. Thanks!
Thanks a Bunch Dizzy!
I really appreciate the Great Comment :)
I use an oil evacuation pump to get as much fluid out as possible and it's way less messy
Thanks for the tip Sean!
@@cantletherdiediy1050 works for engine oil & differential as well. Got pump off of Amazon
Great job on the video .. well done
Thanks for the Great Comment! Cheers Showcase NL!
Wow these videos are awesome! I have a truck at home just like yours! Maybe ill practice my handyman skills on it and see what happens! thanks!
Thanks Miles...I'm glad my videos are a help
Thanks Again - Vic Long Island NY
Thanks Victor...Long Island...Cool. Take care of yourself down there Victor. Cheers!
Awesome video👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Nichloas...thanks for the thumbs-up!
great video
Thank you
Thank you for making this. My 05 Colorado had 560 KM on it and tranny quit shifting, used your video to change it and added lucas stop slip and works great ! Cant believe it. I just subscribed. I saw your vid about your eco boost f150, what year model is it ? I may buy one and still keep my Colorado . Thank you
Welcome to the Channel Georgiabigfoot! Its a 2013 F150 Ecoboost 3.5L with the Max tow package. I got it to do some serious towing so that I wouldn't keep towing with the Colorado (over capacity) and totally wreck it. I like them both...for different reasons.
Congratulations on 560,000kms with the Colorado. I salute you. Cheers!
hi just wondering how your truck is doing and what the miles are now , my auto trans hangs up between 2 and 3 and i thought about using lucas stop slip
@@williamhughes6051 not sure who you are asking but I have added another 14,000 km since adding the stop slip and still working great. Maybe one day the transmission will flake out on me, but I went from a completely immovable transmission to one that works.
Your video was very helpful for me I'm getting ready to start the job but I got to ask are you Bob Ross's son 😂
Hey 👋🏻 nice Video.... I'm just amazed at the switch to the Dextron6. I heard that it attacks the transmission seal of older transmissions that previously ran on dextron3 ... or is that nonsense? Keep on going 👍🏼
Thanks...No, I have not heard that. It is in my truck and I like it. It is working well !
Install a drain plug in the pan would make it easier for next time
I was just wondering why he wouldn’t have mentioned that. I don’t think it’s too hard to install one.
@@russellb.6785 its easyer to just buy a little sump pump and suck it out of the dipstick hole . They have to use these all the time in marine applications because you can't get under to drain . Will set you back about 40 bucks , Warm the oil first and it will pump better.
Awesome video. Ty
Thanks Mirafeliza!
Is there a gasket to pull out of the hole after the filter is removed?
Don’t need to remove it they don’t wear
Good stuff. I think i can do this job. My fluid looks like used motor oil 😂😂😂
I think I might need to do it a couple times over the next year to get everything flushed out. Maybe
When do you need to change the oil
mines an '08 at 390000 km hoping makes it to 500 somehow!! keeping it alive 😄think I've changed mine once..maybe
That truck's been good to you
I have a 2005 3.5 I would like to know does it have a deep pan or shallow pan and filter size. I went to auto zone they have two sizes for automatic I'm not sure what I have
The auto parts dealers have a hard time figuring out which type of trans filter you need. There are two types. To be sure, take your old filter in to them so they can match up the proper trans filter.
Hello again. I have 98,400 miles on my 2008 Colorado. I am not sure if the transmission fluid has ever been changed. So many people say changing the transmission fluid after 100,000 miles if it has never been changed will actually cause the transmission to fail. It is possible the fluid has been changed prior. I simply do not know. Could you please give me insight? Thank you.
I don't believe that old saying about transmissions. I changed mine and my transmission is working fine. I do not see how old transmission fluid is good for a transmission. You could ask a transmission shop? They would be the experts on your transmission.
@@cantletherdiediy1050 yea I don’t believe it either. I will check what the fluid is looking like soon and if it still looks reddish I guess I will leave it how it is. Thanks for the response.
@@Andrew-Knecht That sounds like a good approach to it Andrew
Thanks!
Do you usually not flush?
I have an 05 Canyon with a manual transmission. Could you help us with changing fluid in it? The owners manual says you don't have to change the trans fluid. That seems odd to me. I don't think GM thought it would still be on the road 16 years later. You do a great job! These videos have helped me tremendously!!!
Thanks Scott! That's a Great Truck! Well done on making it to its 16th birthday!. Your manual transmission will not take the same fluid as my automatic. You probably do not have a transmission dip stick or drain plug? Is that true?
@@cantletherdiediy1050 correct! No dip stick. No drain plug. The manual says just to check the fluid by opening the fill plug, and fill to the bottom of the fill plug hole. I can't believe the oil is still good after 16 years.
@@shanson51 OK, I wish I had a manual transmission GMC Canyon. I'd do a video for you. However, I have two transmission videos... the Chevy Colorado (with dipstick) and the F150 transmission (without dipstick). The most important part of your job is to make sure the fill plug is not seized. Can you loosen it? If not, you better not take any further action. If you can, you can proceed exactly like my Colorado Trans video until you need to replace the trans fluid. Then switch to my F150 trans Fluid video and fill it until it starts coming out the fill plug. You will have to use the proper transmission oil though. Do not use automatic transmission fluid. I'd call the dealership and use what they recommend.
I wish I could be of more help to you. If I ever get my hands on a manual, I'll shoot that video for you. You Got this Scott! You are better than you think!
Cheers!
@@cantletherdiediy1050 I will give it a try this weekend and let you know how it goes! I do have this!!
I got the proper Jack Stands (4) and Jack to lift the truck to get under there finally. There is no drain plug and it was a half a quart low. Used a pump kit to fill the transmission until it started coming out. In 16 years, it lost half a quart.
Any reason I can't shoot a self tapping screw in the pan to drain it? I plan on aiming for the open area near the back of the pan without hitting wires
I change my on 2017 and right now it make noise and loose mpr
Can you tell me what does rubber piece between oil pan and transmission pan is called
transmission pan gasket
Guys is awesome
Thanks Marko, I hope it helps you out. Cheers!
I’ve replaced TCCM and motor and my 4x4 light is still flashing seem like it locks in 4x4 and 4x4 low but the light doesn’t go solid ? Any help would be great
Hi Joel, I had a similar problem of failure to go into 4x4 resulting in a blinking 4x4 light. This occurred a long time ago before I was handling my own repairs making my videos. It turned out to be the 4x4 vacuum switch. I had that switch replaced and I was good to go. I put my money on that bet but it is only a best guess based on experience. Is that the motor to which you are referring to? Perhaps you have already replace that. The vacuum switch appears to be the weak link in the 4X4 engagement system. There is a post on 355 Nation where they discuss the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) and blinking 4X4 lights. If I replaced the TCCM and motor and it is still not functioning properly, and I ruled out the vacuum switch. I would assume (or hoped) that I have missed something simple.
Have you checked the vacuum lines used by that vacuum switch? Have you unplugged and then re-plugged in the TCCM as a sort of reboot? or perhaps the software needs to be reprogrammed by GM? This is required sometimes for other control modules. (ask GM about that) Is the wiring harness in good shape? Is the plug corroded in any way?
Those are only guesses Joel based on the limited amount of info you have provided. In my situation, I had the vacuum switch replaced and that solved my issue. I hope I was able to help provide you with some possible next steps. Keep chasing down the problem and report back when you have her fixed. Don't give up...You Got This!
@@cantletherdiediy1050 thank you for the response
se debe revisar en esta camioneta en especifico, el nivel del aceite de transmisión encendida o apagada?
Prendida
Dont you use brake cleaner to clean the pan or is that too detailed for a maintenance job?
Yes Find Manny, you can use brake cleaner to clean the pan but you don't have to if you do not have any. Do not spray it on the transmission though. Thanks for the comment and good luck with your transmission fluid change.
Most mechanic use brakes cleaner to clean stuff because it will dry fast. You can use to clean the pan but you have to wipes with paper towel.
how did you torque the bolts by the drive shaft? jsut with the wrench?
Yeah, I tightened them as tight as I could with the ratcheting stubby wrenches. I noticed when removing them that I could barely get them off with those stubby wrenches so the correct torque would be to get them as tight as I can with the same wrenches. Its been working great. No leaks.
where can you buy the dextron 6 fluid by irwing? thanks leon
I got it from NAPA. It's Irving which is a Canadian Oil company. That's why we can get it at a good price here in Canada. Dextron 6 is the important standard, any Dextron 6 quality transmission oil is what you want.
Cheers!
Hilarious 😘👍

Ouch!...oh man...thanks for posting that information. I can't believe what they're charging for these days.
