I drained and flushed my transfer case metalic thick, grey fluid with proper atf fluid! Truck shifted into 4x4 easypeasy. The front diff drain n clean refilled with 80w90 conventional made my truck into a tight smooth turning rig!!!!!!!
I have an electric vacuum pump that I use to use for bottling wine. I'm going to try using it to vacuum up the old Transfer case fluid and the Front and Rear Differentials. I have a hand pump vacuum but it takes too long for my liking. Always a pleasure watching your video's. I always learn something new. Thank You!
Great video. Did mine a little while ago after I bought a used 2014 F250 with 110k. He maintained it well except was using Ford mileage spec on Tran, diff and transfer case fluid changes. Did all when purchased.
Did mine a while back using the Hopkins/FloTool 10106 bottle spout. I hold the bottle against the bottom of the cab and gently squeeze pump it. I use this spout with the hose removed for filling the trans via the dipstick tube. Works great on manuals too. The shutoff valve keeps the mess under control. I used yellow Teflon tape on my fill/drain plugs as it's rated for fuels and oils.
I have something like that pump. But smaller. Thread right on the bottle. When I swapped the fluid in the trans case the ford guy gave me the LV fluid. I asked and same thing ford now recommends it now. And yes got my pump at HF,too
Can't remember if you've done it already or not but maybe make a movie of your specialty must have tools and where to use them. I think some folks would find that I interesting. You know, like the spring clamp remote pliers for those PITA to reach radiator hoses. Or the pry tool for the xmas tree retaining clips...ect....
Completed this service + front/rear diffs on my '17 F350 CC SRW LB @ 40k miles a couple wks ago. Used an old DEF hose, that was included in box with LV quart containers. Right or wrong, also used a lubelocker gasket on the D60 front. Easy 10 min or so job w/ T-Case. Thanks ARod...
I wish our dealer still had the bulk brake clean with those canisters! Had a new guy start last week and someone told me had used my cans of brake clean like they were water!
I use to use tin foil to make a track on my Harley to prevent oil from getting all over the frame during oil changes, seems like a bit of foil would be great here to minimize the clean up afterwards
Just got my 2017 done today. Front and rear diffs too. At 52K miles but don't wanna chance it even tho I only tow during desert season. Dealer was super cheap for the service for all 3. Less than $400. Like I always say, regular maintenance is cheap insurance.
@PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod seriously man. I just bought a 2019 f350 king ranch and have learned so much from your videos. This is my first diesel. They're all great!
AROD with the throwback on the Focus fuel pump recall, I did all but a couple of those that came through the dealer I was at, even have the cutter to take the lock ring out of the bottom of the tank still.
Make sure to clean the magnet assuming these have one! Also form a funnel works wonders! Also are u required to run the t case and have the fluid circulate and check it again?
Attention: Do this ! I did my 2020 F250 w 30k miles. Fluid was dark burnt smelling. Didn’t measure it but looked like only 1 qt drained out. NO leaks seen! I’m convinced it came for factory w low level of fluid.
Question? What transfer case fluid do you or what does Ford recommend on a ‘19 SD, 6.7, 4x4, crew cab, long bed please? Thanks for all your great information. 👌🇺🇸
Where can I get the brake cleaner pressurized container and bulk brake cleaner? I’m buying one of those pumps tomorrow. I have been modifying garden sprayers but your way for transferring transmission fluid is much cheaper and appears to fill faster
Hi. Have you ever encountered a PO54E code? I had to go behind another tech and finish a job he stared. It included installing a new turbo it’s aftermarket it’s a Garrett new fuel rails, injectors and everything from ford it was a kit and a new EGR and cooler. If you could help me I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I had my upper oil pan seal replaced because it was leaking. I'm sure they had to drop the tranny to do the job. Which means they had to replace the tranny fluid and transfer case fluid, correct?
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod you’re the best! I still owe you for telling me to check my IPR valve in our LCF! That thing hasn’t missed a day since January!
Changed my transfer case fluid 2 years and 12K miles ago in my 2011. Used synthetic Valvoline transfer case fluid. You stated Ford now requires Mercon LV. I only drive truck 6K a year, but those miles are mostly towing. Is it worth changing again to Mercon LV?
Can you give a simple answer to a simple question? What transfer case fluid do i use for my 02 relic f350 super duty.7.3 psd. 4r100. Chain drive transfer case.cant get mercon. Cant get xl12.i was told not to use mercon lv. Wtf
Has anyone run into the problem in regards to using the correct fluid. One Ford dealership is telling me to use XL 12 and another Ford dealership is telling me to use mercon lv. I have a 2015 Ford F550 6.7. Extremely confused on why two Ford dealerships I tell me two different things.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod this might be stupid. But I have a 2015 ford f550 flatbed tow truck. And I don’t believe I have a transfer case on mine. I know it’s not 4x4 and I believe I have a slip rear Differential.
Looks like a DIY project for me. Thanks for showing us how it’s done. Harbor Freight for the win.

Hey PTT , I use a shallow tin foil 4qt bbq pan as a drain pan. It sits on the shield just nicely.
Niccccce
Good show!
Just bought a 2024 F-250.
Thank you Arod! Btw that Pail Pump is on close out at Harbor Freight for $7 if anyone is interested. Just picked myself up one for this job

Just did the transfer case fluid change.
I dropped the skid. I used Mercon LV, 2.5qt, in my 2016.
I did mine in my driveway on my 2017 f 350 dwr very simple process. I also used a similar pump to refill the transfer case
OMG this is too cool ,Harbor Freight tool at the Ford House , I’m going to get me one 💁
Hell yeahh
My trick - line the skid plate bottom with aluminum foil to make-shift a funnel and direct the flow to the desired hole.
Oh the irony, just purchased fluid to do mine! Did the transmission fluid/filter last weekend.
Toooo funny
Another great video!!!! A form a funnel can come in handy for directing fluid away from skid plates…..
Morning Arod! Had my coffee and watched this tutorial video👍🏼. Great way to start my day 👊🏼
Wooowioo

Very informative, thank you again for showing this. I gotta search your vids to see if you have front/rear differential fluid changes.
Thanks, we do not....but will soon
I’m going to change out my front drive axle shaft , brakes and fluid might as well do that one too

That’s cheap. The dealer nearest to me wants $705 for these three. Insanity.
If you haven't already maybe you could do a video about replacing the output shaft cone when that bushing wears out inside
Just did my 17 6.7L. Pretty easy.
Team Brake Clean got it going on! 💪

Want to show Rear AND Front Differential fluid changes?
Bring it
Can you answer this question do you have a video on doing the front and rear differential service on 6.7 power stroke thanks
Soooon
I use my torque wrench to tighten my drain and fill plugs of anything to the correct torque spec. Just to be on the safe side 😛
I feel ya
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I've seen too many stripped plugs (especially allen heads) and I don't want to make the same mistakes.
I feel ya broski....just gotta learn the feel.
What size/type of 2 post lift are you using for these trucks? Thank you for another informative video!
Rotary 18k
Do you recommend using cat ELC coolant in 6.7
You can.
Hold your hose in the hole or don't pump to fast. What are you referring to? TFF
Question? What transfer case fluid do you or what does Ford recommend on a ‘19 SD, 6.7, 4x4, crew cab, long bed please?
Thanks for all your great information. 👌🇺🇸
Mercon LV
You can use any decent ThreadLock to seal the threads as well
....... and how to refill your Mercon ULV for your 10R140 after you've drained the old fluid, since it doesn't have a dipstick tube.
Im on it
What’s up with Ford removing the dipstick? It is a truck
Gotta ask Dearborn
Where can I get the brake cleaner pressurized container and bulk brake cleaner? I’m buying one of those pumps tomorrow. I have been modifying garden sprayers but your way for transferring transmission fluid is much cheaper and appears to fill faster
Probably amazon
What would be your ideal timing for this service?
60k....depending how u use ut
Time to move to MI 😇😇😇😇😇😇
Get yourself a moldable funnel
Dang brother..You keep break clean in bidness! LoL
Complements chilli too
What reason why Ford not using Transfer fuild and went to transmission fluid for Transfer Case?
