Great help!! I just changed mine for the first time, got to taking the pan out. hit this problem. went in and googled it and got your video 1st up!! i did the exact thing with prybar and floor jack. You have turn it a little as going in. But it worked, didn't have to drop the exhaust!! back together and ready to fill.. thanks
great video I really want to do this. My 08 escalade has 135k miles and I want to do this but hear rumors if I do then I could probably have transmissions slipping, is this correct. Can you add a drain plug to the pan so you could drain in more frequently.
If I remember correctly it was the hard line attached to the top part of the radiator. I used 2 hoses because I myself didn't know what side it was going to come out of.
I hope someone has an answer for this. I have an 07 escalade ext like this. Drives fine but whenever I've been driving for a while and everything's warmed up. Only whenever I find myself at a complete stop or slow down to single digit numbers and then accelerate to get back up to speed, my trucks Trans "slip" I think. But it only does it if I don't put good enough pressure on the gas pedal. Im not talking like putting the gas pedal all the way down, just a little more than u typically would. It only does it if I'm lighty pressing on it taking off like an 18 wheeler u know. Was wondering if I could be its the transmission fluid needs changing or do I need a new clutch or bad filter?
@@GearJammerGarage Thanks for the reply! There is so much inconsistency when it come to tranny drain and fill, flush etc. best practice procedures. Specifically, on our 07 Escalade , truck is currently at 167,000 miles. Tranny service records show last time had tranny service was about 80,000 miles. on this truck would I be ok to do a tranny pan drop, , clean pan and magnets, replace filter , and top off with fluid that came out of the pan (probably 5-7 quarts from what I have read) to re-introduce additive package? I’m not very comfortable with the continuously drain from the radiator tranny line until color comes out red, thank you..
Any thoughts on this? Thank you! Also with this approach, do you think it’s ok to mix new Full Sythetic ATF with OEM fluid still in the tranny system? Thank you!
whats the name of the brass adapter with those black hoses you bought for $5? can't find them. im looking at amazon. I can find the hose but those adapters don't know what are those called
Great video. I love when people ACTUALLY show the part numbers!
I dropped rear exhaust hangers and had plenty of room. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks so much for making this video and including part numbers! Love it when people use OEM parts instead of knock-offs! Thanks!!!

Cool video. Just picked up a 08 Escalade with 230k for $2,000. Doing all the Oil Changes. Making sure this mofo Runs and Last forever.
damn 2k? that's a good price
@@jermaineesseboom381 Yupp. But no Title. So tryna get that as we speak.
@@cammims7645 still a good deal. I paid 6k for my 08 esv.
I'm going to try it on my suburban
Great video and content. Question for you, as you were flushing the fluid, which side was it coming out of? The cooler or the line?
If I remember correctly it was the hard line attached to the top part of the radiator. I used 2 hoses because I myself didn't know what side it was going to come out of.
Thank you and I appreciate you for responding.

Great video - Can you tell me the part number of the copper / gold barb fitting you used? or what you asked for at the parts store?
I Googled " GM oil cooler barb" and found out Napa carries it. So does Summit Racing.
Part #: ATP 18440
Line: NAPA Automatic Transmission Parts
To make less mess, could a suction tube/ pump be inserted through Transmission dipstick and pump out fluid that way?
That would work
Awesome content! What exactly is the fluid you used ? How many miles on this one when you serviced?
Thank you. I used Valvoline ATF and it had 145K miles.

whats the name of the brass adapter with those black hoses you bought for $5? can't find them. im looking at amazon. I can find the hose but those adapters don't know what are those called
Search "line adapter for gm" or "gm transmission cooler line adapter" or "transmission oil cooler fitting"
Did you have any issues with the transmission after doing the flush ? Cause I been told that it will mess it up
I didn't have any.
Didnyou have a clearance issue with the shift linkage bracket? My 06 is giving me this problem as we speak
i did not
@@GearJammerGarage i had to be more forceful than I would have liked but ultimately got my new pan in with new filter!
so how many quarts in total?
5 gallons
@@GearJammerGarage definitely not 5 GALLONS! Lol
@@JohnDoe-dn9yo it took me 5 gallons to make the fluid come out clean. At 3 gallons it started clearing up.
Did he not see the drain plug on the pan?
It dosent have one
Draining the pain does not empty the converter or what's in the cooler
Never flush a transmission, ever, you will ruin it.
A chemical flush yes, a fluid flush won't. I did it using the return line to replace as much old fluid as possible.
