Good camera angles. I was able to see exactly what you were doing. Thank you very much!
I bought a preowned GMC Sierra 1500 and it's practically identical to a Silverado from the videos I have seen, I'm shy to replace my own transmission fluid but in watching your video it is giving me more confidence. I gave you a like for the positive attitude you displayed throughout the video, it's happened to me plenty of times where the day gets past me and I am working on the driveway in the dark as well. I try to do all my repairs and maintenance myself to save money and mainly because there's hardly any honest mechanics, many tend to pinch your wallet by overcharging or even taking parts from your vehicle and installing someone else damaged part. Good job!
Awesome video man. Thank you very much. I’ve seen about 30 of these jobs done on TH-cam and this is the only one that has shown in great depth what to do and how. Don’t have experience working on cars and after this video I feel much more confident about doing this myself to save some money. Thanks man, gotta lifetime watcher outa me after this video!
While the pan is out and clean, find the boss at the lowest part of the pan and install a drain plug. So much easier to drain the fluid first. Also, ALWAYS replace the pan gasket, even if it looks like it's in good shape.
The board across the cross members was the perfect hack ., the filter o ring dosent need changed every time if its not damaged .you did a great job ! im pleased i have a hoist and dont need to lay on ground . Remember guys dont over tighten your bolts you'll dent the pan and it will leak .
how tight is good?
@Alex Wright that sounds right just snug . some times over tightened pans need to be banged out on wood . specially when a back yard mech has worked on viehical before .
Ratchet strap and 2x4 worked!! Saved my ass lol
Just changed my transmission fluid last night and this video was super useful. I left the filter lip seal in place cuz it seemed to be in pretty good shape.
6 or 8 speed transmission?
Awesome work! Another option besides the cross member trick is to loop the ratchet strap around the exhaust like you did, but then hook both ends to the little axle of your car jack. As you are jacking the vehicle up, the strap pulls the exhaust down. Have done this a couple times now and it works like a charm!
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Leonard Fox thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Leonard Fox it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Thaddeus Logan glad I could help xD
Strap idea worked like a champ. I will add that I pulled my gasket back a bit when reinstalling the pan. Essentially got the pan up above the cross member then slide the gasket forward to align. The 1/2 cm thickness of the gasket made a difference in clearance. Also, just an fyi guys & gals, after cleaning the pan with various paper towels, etc, you can use rubbing alcohol and lint free paper towels to get all the fine particulate left. Thanks again for posting a good video.
You don’t need to use the 2x4. Wrap your ratchet strap around the exhaust pipe right where the right and left sides join then around the frame right where the transmission cross member bolts to the passenger side frame and cinch it down tight. My transmission pan slipped right off and right back on without a problem.
Great video bro its almost time to do it on my 14. Can we get a driving video maybe as a follow up as to see your opinion does it drive better or shift smoother.
One of the best things I did was installed a pan with the drain plug. This way I can drain the fluid first. So what I typically do is change the filter once a year, but drain the fluid once or twice a year. I have a 2018 Silverado and I bought it brand new in 2019. I have 130,000 miles on it... This is why I change the fluid so much. I put a lot of miles on it and the truck has not given me any issues. It's a six-speed transmission and I know the eights were not good, and tens should be pretty decent... I'm happy that things are going well so far. But I change out my transmission, my differential and of course my engine oil very much regularly. Is it paid off truck that I want to be an asset. I'm not trying to trade it in for a new truck or anyting. Needs to hit at least 500,000 miles for me to be really satisfied
Wish you were local to me so I could get a video with you and that truck! (To show my customers, who often don’t understand the importance of preventative maintenance)
You have the right attitude on all aspects of that truck. 👌 🍻
Have you ever had the chevy shake?....in thinking maybe to change my transmission fluid
A simpler way is to extract all the fluid from the trans dip stick then drop the pan. You can also extract 2 quarts at a time every other or every oil chance not to shock the valve body with new fluid.
That’s what I plan to do
The trick of strap It works in my Chevy Silverado 2009 good job man 👍
All that grey stuff ain’t gunk, that’s metal shavings bro that’s y it’s stuck to the magnet.
dude 3 years after you made this video and you still helping people. i have to this this on my 16 silverado 5.3 and i have about as many as you did on this truck then and i also don’t ever thinks it’s been done before so i’m in pretty much the same situation you were in. now after seeing this video i am for sure gonna do this myself and save me labor charge.
U end up doing it? I'm thinking about it on my 17 1500
I believe the torque is 96 in/lbs for the pan.
Good video.
Nice tip about flexing the exhaust pipe outta the way to allow the pan to pass.
Just did this on my 2016 Sierra. Did the wood and rachet jack trick thanks to this man. Worked like a charm.
I feel confident enough to try this on my 04 Sierra... It will be my first time, fingers crossed. Thanks for the video!!
Dope to see women getting under the hood too 👌🏾
THANK YOU BROTHER!!! I took out the tranny mount bolts, I tried ratchet strapping the exhaust to a jack stand, nothing was working to get that damn pan out!! I took a break & came inside to watch a few videos on TH-cam. Came across your video with the 2x4 & had the pan free in less than 10 mins. I can't thank you enough!!!
Glad this did the trick! Sure would be nice to have a drain plug in these trucks! I just don’t want to drop the money on an aftermarket pan. I do have a video on how to recover fluid from the dipstick if you find that more useful in the future.
I don’t trust dealership doing a flush reason is they don’t change the filter. That’s why I do it my self at home by removing the transmission return line.pretty easy method of flushing the torque converter.
Do you experience any of the "Chevy Shake" problems with your truck?
Very common for the 2015 to 2019 with the 8-spd transmission. Best solution has been to do a complete fluid exchange (this is the GM recommended fix) and they are saying DO NOT go with the factory fluid, instead the complete fluid replacement should be replace the factory GM fluid with Mobile 1 Blue fluid. In many cases this will fix the shake/shudder issue unless the owner has been continuing to drive with the issue without addressing it, in which case they may have caused damage already such as glazing of the TC. If you are out of warranty then take the truck to a reputable transmission shop and tell them you want a complete fluid replacement and then have them refill it with either the Mobile 1 Blue, or with Redline transmission fluid. If you are out of warranty then hope that fixes it and that you didn't already do damage to the TC since replacing the TC out of pocket will be expensive. GM Claims the issue was being caused on these transmissions due to the factory fluid being hdyrophilic, which due to the design of the transmission is then causing water contamination of the factory fluid.
What's the shake? I have a '15
@@racers115 No one knows what you mean by Mobile 1 blue. There are several Mobil 1 blue transmission fluids.
@@AFpaleoCon Mobil 1 Blue ATF - is that clearer for you? They originally used a black label Mobil 1 ATF and then switched to a blue label.
Also note that if you have an 8spd, it's not as simple to change your trans fluid as it is in this video. Still doable at home, but GM thought it was a wise move to remove the dipstick on the 8spd, so this means you're filling the new fluid through the drain plug using a hand pump. Again, still doable, but a bit of a pain vs. just pouring it in through the dipstick.
@@fishyhobby3697 At 70-80mph or so you will have a shake like you have a wheel out of balance, some are much worse than others. Got a 2015 few months ago with 45k and it has it. Was unaware of the issue when got the truck, thought id just balance the tire an solve it. But im going to pump out all the trans fluid and replace with Mobil 1 synthetic LV ATF HP 124715 and see if fixes the issue
Mobil 1 blue label it’s recommended by gm for the 14-18 model to help with shudder and even helped with rough 1st-2nd rough shift but it’s fluid they recommend
Is that new fluid full synthetic or synthetic blend or conventional? Also, do you know if the factory fluid is conventional , Sythetic blend or full synthetic? Thank you!
100k miles, oem fluid and you use the same pan gasket
Most times they are reusable. Made of a metal frame covered in a rubber material. As long as you don't damage it, you're good to go.
Parts counter rep at gm said it’s reusable
When putting the gasket back on, Did you use any gasket sealer?
@@tommypayne1440 no, none needed. Inspect visually, if it’s in good condition, original shape and not deformed in any way, clean it and reinstall with no sealer. Or, just buy a new one for $30
@@reedrobb what is the torque specs on the transmission pan when bolting it back up
Thanks for the tips! Definitely made the job a lot easier. The hack I came up with to lower the exhaust was that I jacked my my floor jack beneath the sub frame next to the spot where you pull down on the exhaust. Then I ratcheted the front wheel axle of the jack to the exhaust, and as I jacked the subframe up, it would then pull down on the exhaust. Gave me enough clearance to pull the pan out, just like in the video!
3 recommendations go to 160 degree thermostat and do the trans cooler thermostat delete.If you really care wrap the crossover under the pan. Heat is the enemy.
Im going to be hauling a decent sized TT pretty soon and thought about doing this while I did the fluid change
I liked the crossover wrap idea and did it the day after changing fluid and filter. Of course used the ratchet strap idea to make things easier. Wish I had put the gloves on before wrapping with the volcanic wrap...man that's like playin in fiberglass! Anyway, have put about 1500 miles on it since and have to assume it has helped lower trans temp though can't say definitively since I didn't record temps long enough prior to installing the wrap. I am curious though as to the idea of trans cooler thermostat? That's a new one on me. Have to assume its on the discharge side of the pan going to the trans cooler, and would be small in size.
The 2x4 board technique worked great thanks for the idea.
You did put the magnet back, correct??
yes but the magnet back clean it off
Only if every tutorial video was made like this. Appreciate this videos and others Of yours I’ve watched. To the point Simple doesn’t leave me looking for more answers. Thank you.
My 2016 Silverado 5.3 is experiencing some transmission issues. I'm at about 165,000 k never replaced the fluid either. Its lagging at times when I put in reverse there's a delay and the motor revs up then it engages. It also lags at low rpms climbing a hill. Slight jerking. Something's gonna give for sure and I have no check engine lights. I'm having the transmission fluid changed tomorrow, hopefully I get some news
Did this ever improve what was going on?
Mines is doing this in at 116k called the dealer and they talking about $7k to replace the transmission.i called GM complaint line and the told me to get a diagnosis and when it comes back she will see what she can do to help. I suggest calling that complaint line asap. My extended warranty expired in August and now the dealer wanna tell me I can extend it for another 2 yrs
No drain plug. It would be nice to have it
Have you have any problems since you changed it?
No problem at all over a year later
Yeah the reason they don't want you to do a flush A lot of people don't realizeOf how you can blow your transmission you're a transmission right there after they're done flushing it or or A-day or 2 I learned the hard wayI listened to my boy I went to job my transmission my transmission work good I paid for everything It shifted at a first gear good It was shifting out of 2nd gear and then that was it I couldn't go no faster than 35 miles an hour in 2nd Gear I had reverse thanks I only had 1st and then 2nd No 3rd no overdrive automatic transmission is transmission dangerous So yeah just drain the fluid yourself elf and then the filter but filter but before you change the filter what I would do what I would do if the transmission fluid was dirty the mission fluid was dirty is Philip is Philip backup with new transmission fluid with new transmission fluid let it run for a while for a while and then 10 minutes later take the new stuff out take the new stuff out and then change and then change the filter and then put more new stuff in it So you're doing a kind of your own flush
Thanks for the video. Fixing to change my soon on my 14 Silverado 4.3 with around 98k miles and never been changed that I know of. Hopefully laying on the gravel won’t be that bad 😂😂
It should be fine if u don't tow or race .
Put that fresh fluid
Question if anyone knows can you pump out most of the fluid from the dipstick so your not dealing with so much oil dripping on you?
Your video is good, but man you really need to use gloves to protect your health. Your skin absorbs all the s#$@t .
Gloves are for the weak.
@@turtletitan62 yeah because cancer cares about ego
Have you ever tried to flush it our through the trans cooler before dropping the pan? It saves a whole lot of mess and gets all the dirty fluid out. Overall makes the job that much cleaner.
Great job! Next time you can drain it from the plug first than take out the pan so it’s not as full. Plus you won’t get as much on your exhaust
💯 💯💯
I put thread locker on my transmission fluid drain plugs to make sure they dont come loose
Reason shops recommend a flush is because its easier for them. Sure the transmission may not last as long as its supposed to but thats ok just buy a new one. At least they dont have to work hard. Also they just use universal fluid too because that is also easier.
My neighbors both bought 2014 sierras woth 5.3 4x4, they both had transmission failure at around 60,000. Never tow anything. Transmission shop mechanic told em he sees many of these transmissions fail due to the long recommended change interval. He recommends change every 30,000.
My 2016 says 45k per intervals, I feel like 30k is more like it as well.
I might be looking at a transmission failure in my 2016 chevy silverado 1500. It's at the dealer getting a diagnosis. Dealer says they 2 weeks behind wtf. I called gm complaint line and they trying to help me. Hoping it's not a transmission failure. I just got the truck in 2020 August and my extended warranty expired and they said I could extended it if I paid $3k cash or credit but have to wait 30 days to do a warranty. I do owe $17.5 on the truck and the dealer talking about $7k to replace the tranny
@@elevated-apparel so what happened
I think I’m going to drill and tap a drain plug.
Easier way is just buy a fluid evacuator. Super easy and no mess what so ever.
I have one. It doesn’t reach to the bottom of the pan. You can only pull 2 or 3 quarts from the top.
Nice job. It’s important to fasten those bolts to specs because of the gasket
So how long after this did you sell the truck lol
Man I don’t want to try that without a lift. That looks too hard for a old guy like me to do on the ground. Good job
Dustin, Thanks for your helpful videos. I just changed the transmission and transfer case fluids on my 2018 Silverado yesterday. On mine the ratchet strap on the exhaust wasn't enough to clear the pan. What I did was to loosen the transmission mounting nuts almost all the way, then I raised the back of the drivetrain with a floor jack under the transfer case. Those studs allow about an inch of lift without even taking them completely off the mount.
Used this video to help me get through the process on my 2018 GMC Sierra K1500 single cab short bed. Removing the pan was the biggest issue. The truck came with aftermarket exhaust so it had no flex pipe and had next to no “flex” to facilitate getting the pan out. Luckily I had my brother with me to help spot me as I wiggled the pan to and fro to get it in place. I have been planning to get new exhaust done as the existing aftermarket exhaust is kinda clapped out. If I do get new exhaust done, I’ll see if the shop can make the exhaust cross over a half inch lower, just so the pan comes out easier in the future.
I also broke a pan bolt, the torque spec is pretty light and I was just going by feel. Of course, it was the last bolt I was installing. I decided to unscrew the pan before proceeding, extracted the broken bolt, screwed everything back down GENTLY, and then proceeded with filling the trans fluid. I have ordered a new bolt and will simply install it once it arrives as no vendors stock it locally. Drove the truck and had no leaks despite missing one bolt so I think I’ll be fine for the couple days til the replacement bolt comes. The part number is 24203911, if someone else needs a replacement bolt.
Decided to go with Amsoil Signature Series transmission fluid. I’ve been an Amsoil fan for awhile now. I use their oil and have been really impressed with it. I suspect the ATF will be a good performer too.
Now on to the differential and transfer case.
Use amsoil or Valvoline atf. That ac delco fluid is complete trash, very inconsistent viscosity and breaks down faster, our 6l80 runs at 185-200f and the transmission fluid from factory loses its friction around 160f. Either you do a thermostat delete or use other fluids. GM has to go with the cheapest route possible. Amsoil is king but Valvoline offers great atf as well for affordable cost.
Does your transmission run cooler with those other fluids?
You do know that what you did, wasn’t a complete transmissions flush? I’m sure you might already know, but you only had 5 quarts of fluid come out in total. For a complete flush you should be replacing around 10-12 quarts of fluid. The rest of the fluid is stuck in the torque converter. Would you be able to create another video on how to completely drain the transmission, change filter, and drain the torque converter?? It is still a great video, when I was a teenager, this is how I would do my trans filter and fluid changes. Later I found out it wasn’t actually a full flush. I will subscribe to hopefully see you make a full flush and trans filter change in the future.
If you paid attention at the beginning of the video, he clearly stated gm does not recommend flushing their transmissions.
This video paired with another video describing a method on angling the trans pan slightly to the drivers side made doing this job easy as doing a damn oil change. Thank you sir for your service.. for some reason i had to add 6 damn quarts to mine and it still wouldnt hurt to add a tad more..i would recommend anyone who does this service to purchase atleast 7 quarts to be on the safe side, or just 2 of these jugs (in my case chevy only had quart size bottles)
Edit* i will add that my buddy allowed me to use his 2 post lift which im sure definitely helped me do it a little more efficiently 🤣
Thanks buddy, I’m glad it helped! A 2 post lift would be my dream 😂
I just did the fluid and filter change on my 2016 Silverado used a pray bar and a jack so I could pray the pipe down enough to get the pan out, no problem, I left the old o ring, everything went smooth.
Did you inspect the gasket prior to installing the filter?
Need to get a headlamp :). Great tutorial. Thanks!
It is the wrong fluid now. You MUST USE BLUE LABEL MOBILE 1 LV ATF HP. Trust me you want this fluid and nothing else.
How many miles to change filter , for first time ?
Bro I love your truck the color the wheels it’s really nice 🔥🐐
Hi Dustin.. I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado with a I'm looking at doing some maintenance on it other than the oil. 50,500 miles are on it right now. do you recommend I do the transmission and the coolant now? or should I wait? what about the rear differential in the front differential as well. I guess what my question is what do you recommend for fluids to be changed on mileage?
I wouldn’t run AC Delco transmission fluid in anything. GM recommends Mobile 1 because the stock fluid doesn’t have enough friction and causes shudder.
Ratchet strap was money. Great no bullshit tip
No way to know your gasket will be good and able to be replaced until after you remove the pan. If this truck was your only means of transportation to the store to get a gasket if needed you’d be screwed. ALWAYS buy a new gasket if you plan to do this job. If you don’t need it then return it or save for future use. Good video but the guy should have bought a new gasket bc he had no way of knowing he would be able to reuse the existing one until he had already dropped the pan and physically checked the gasket. If he needed one this job would have taken a lot longer to complete and he’d be scrambling around to find a ride to go pick one up before he could drive his truck again. Just be prepared for the unknown bc you never truly know until you know and just hoping “it will be fine” isn’t a smart idea.
Hey quick question! I bought a used 2014 silverado 4x4 the transmission fluid seems clear and a bit grey but more on the clear side when i put in the dipstick to check it what do you thinks going on the truck drives fine would you recommend this service to it? Has 140k miles drives good atm
Its always cheaper cheange the oil than a transmission.
@@vb5037 true that should i take it to a dealer instead of a mechanic?
@@Thefishingplumber if you know good auto mechanic take it there. I just change oil and filter myself yes its pain in rear because of stupid chevrolet designers. I called to dealer they said $375 change the filter and oil.
Why GM doesn't give you a drain plug is still beyond me. It's like they intentionally want to scare you into the repair shop and that was just one more way to do it. In fact my 2018 with the 8 speed even removed the dipstick tube. So I have no easy way to just add fluid or measure it.
THANK YOU!!!! Very helpful, my total cost was $75 in parts and fluid vs the $229 special that the stealership had going. I Saved$$$$ :) Ended needing to buy 2 extra quarts on top of the 1 gallon bought at first, also could have use another 1/4 extension bar, pan bolt size was a tiny 10mm and I only had extra 3/4 extension bars on hand.
$299 was most likely just a fluid change where there suck out as much as they can through the dipstick.
@@Mattsharona Thats a fluid flush. What this guy just did in the video is a fluid change. The change only gets about half the fluid, but keeps the transmission from slipping normally, and a flush is where they use a machine and flush all the old fluid out and replace with new.
@@kukri1877 how in the heck would a flush do more than what this guy did? He literally dropped the pan that holds all the oil
@@johnkosar8353 a flush pushes all the old fluid from inside the parts of the motor where they settle. What he did just got the stuff out of the pan.
A transmission fluid change is when dirty fluid is drained from the pan, while a fluid flush is when fluid is removed and replaced in the pan, torque converter, and cooler lines. Fresh fluid will allow the transmission to run cooler and also to be protected from wear and corrosion on major components.
@@johnkosar8353 you flush this tranny so just say goodbye and head to the next trans shop
I see your High Country has a Transmission Tube. I have a 2017 and my High Country does not. Well done tho! 🤝
I have a 2016 chevy silverado with 116867 miles and on my way to work the other day the transmission went out. I put it in great give it gas and it just reved up. The it jump in to gear do i pulled in a lot. Called the dealership and they talking about $7k to replace it and my extended warranty expired 2 months ago but they now asked me if i want to extend it another 2 yrs cuz i have not got to the certain amount of miles. I called gm complaint line and they told me to take it to the dealer and get a diagnostic so i did. Dealer said they are backed up 10 in the transmission dept.i called my buddy that's a mechanic and he said these truck have a bad transmission issue. I google it and it says don't buy a chevy silverado 1500 from 2012 to 2019. He said his buddy had a 2017 and replaced his transmission 3 times before he finally traded it in for a Toyota.
Did the trans leak from reusing the pan gasket?
The gaskets are reusable they’re designed that way
Should i change my transmission fluid 2018 Silverado 93 thousand miles
The way you brought it out toward the driver side is all it takes. didn't really need to strap the exhaust. But whatever works, right?
Only amsoil SS atf for me. Thanks for the quality video!
It’s funny how folks assume auto manufacturers make oil. They contract out to blenders. Quality can only be determined by fluid analysis from a reputable lab.
It's kind of my quest to inform the amsoil devotes you do know that mobile supplies the base oil to amsoil. Amsoil's got a good additive package no question about it but I think I'll buy The real McCoy
Amsoil the most overhyped thing out there.
looks like you used the full syn fluid, the amazon link is for the regular, is the gm spec or your recommendation synthetic?
Can u leave the old gasket up in hole where filter goes. Its in there tight and new filter snaps in there. Why take out old
That was my thought
Just completed this on my 2018 1500. Thanks for the info!
2018 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 w/ a 6.2L and the 8 speed. I've got the shake going and there is no dipstick/ fill neck it's supposed to be a "never service trans". I've got 3k left on warranty letting Chevrolet dealer deal with it but expect they will screw me.
I did this last year on my wife's Yukon XL, now GM is saying a triple flush with synthetic Mobil 1 Dex 6. Insane 🤷🏾♂️😅
I guess everyone does it different. I like to pull out the filter when the pan is resting on the cross pipe. I pull out the heat shield as mine likes to scratch the pan when pulling out. It's 80 inch pounds it's not much. The ATF fuild that comes out of these trans smell very bad. Do a theromstat delete the fulid is getting way to hot. It should not match the engine oil
I have a 2018 gmc sierra 1500 slt. Noob question but I wanna ask. My truck doesn't have a dip stick to check my tranny fluid. I've read that my model pf truck was intended for the tyranny fluid to last the life of the truck/transmission without change. Is that true? Any info would help.
Thank u
do yohas anyone been lied to that one of them Jiffy Lube places about them flushing you transmission fluid on a 2015 Silverado? i had it donr so i thought. after seeing this video that is not possiblr! having tranny codes popping up. Do you know what part number for the selonoid C i see that there is no way to change them individually. you have to replace the whole thing? has anyone done it on a 2015 Silverado. pulled the code for it.
My '15 silverado lt z71 is in the shop getting a new tranny at 169k. Apparently the tc on the 6l80e is junk outta the factory and needs to be upgraded to a billet to last. Thank god for warranties lol
its actully 6 quarts you should be putting bad in and you have to check the transmission level when its hot
Transmission fluid was dark black. Went to do the flush but I'm only getting fluid to come out of the house I hooked into the jiffy Tite connection by radiator. No fluid coming out of trans line. Bad pump torque converter.. ?
Follow the 10 commandments and repent from your sins. Jesus is the only way to heaven and he loves you and will always forgive you!!
I have watched several of your videos...pretty good content my man !
Also I am loving the frogs 🐸
Nice video man found it to be very helpful! 👍👍👍
Just FYI this video should not be applied to the 8 speed transmission which is also available with the 5.3L engine. There is no topside dipstick will be your first clue.
Do you know that, of course, GM owns the trademark on Dex 6. Therefore, in order to put Dexron 6 on the label it has to be GMs formula. No need to spend extra money on GM fluid.
Mines 5 years old whats more important to change diff or tranny fluid or both
Do not use the dexron 6,finding out it is causing torque converter shudders and blowing up the torque converter.Flush the system out and use the Mobil 1 hp lv blue label atf which fixes it
Great video. Gonna do my 2014 Silverado here soon as I broke 100,000 miles. Was wondering, you mentioned leaving a comment with the specs for the bolts when putting the pan back on. Do you have those specs? Specifically curious about the torque specs. TIA!
Another guy said 96.
Don’t need brake cleaner , pour new guild in and measure what you take out , this does not drain torque converter or lines your only changing 1/3rd of a curl guild waste of time
I guess I was duped by the dealership saying a special machine is needed to flush the fluid on those 8 speed trannys. Guess that isn’t the case. I assume it would be ok to use Amsoil ATF?
Very good job at explaining and good angles.
Why does GM not recommend a flush? Sorry I’m late to the party I’m new to getting the truck and having tranny problems
If you can get a hose small enuff to fit down to the pan, the dipstick tube is too small for regular hose that comes with a transfer pump and pump out must as possible. Or when you crack the pan loose and it’s got enuff room to stick a hose there to suck it out the pan before removing the actual pan full of fluid
I have a 2015 and all I do is remove bolts let pan drop reach in whip clean oil out of pan and magnet , slide pan over pull filter out replace, whip clean around for gasket bolt back up..
I have a 2014 high country 6.2 liter, time for fluid change also plus makes a slight noise like a garbage disposal only here n there, wanna do fluid change first before I bring it in, what is your opinion on putting Lucas in it also
I’ve worked in grass, dirt, gravel, concrete, asphalt it’s so much better if you have a lift but you got to do what you got to do, still don’t have a lift.
Good video but considering all of the work you go though to get to first drain the fluid then take the pan out without having any residual transmission fluid spill on the ground our worse, yourself would it not make sense to buy a after market transmission pan with a drain plug ?
Think of how much easier the process would be for you, very little transmission fluid so the pan is lighter when pulling it off and much less chance of fluid spills.
Just a thought.
Still have to replace the filter.... so either way ur taking the whole pan off.
Still have to remove the pan to get to the filter, but would be worth the cost of the new pan to be able to drain the fluid without it spilling everywhere 👍🏻
@@rots4me That's what I ended up doing and it has made life much easier changing the fluid and filter.
hello sir after removing the pan and drain is there another pump to run to get remainder oil out ? or it’s just like motor oil change
Did you put the magnet back into the pan?
Just got a 16 with 68k on dash The fluid is actually not too bad a little dirty but not black just a little dirty and it shifts beautifully no slamming or anything It does get a little Chevy shake on the highway like over 80 but they all do it cuz of the drive shaft Long story short which 68,000 should I change my transmission fluid and and filter what do u guts think? I called a couple shops and a lot of the guys don't want to do it They won't touch transmission fluid They won't even let me change my filter he said nope won't even do it as soon as I even said transmission lol because they people will come in with a car with 250, 000k they change the tranny fluid and then the things slips like a bastard after but is 68 low enough
Turning it to the side worked like a charm. Thanks.
