There’s a guy at my job that puts fluid in a washed out DEF jug, and uses a HF battery powered fluid pump. I use to do the same thing, but with a old recall fuel pump from a X5 lol.
I use the AST Driveline filler and The only drawback to it is that if you want to fill something that is 3.5 qrts you have to fill it with 4 qrts because the pick up is about an inch from the bottom. So my question would be "does the OTC driveline filler dispense all the fluid you fill it with"
Got a ‘11 Jeep Liberty v6 , no dip stick, just the tube where one should go.. in my chilton repair manual, it shows where the dipstick should be and how to check it, and says nothing about what to do if there isn’t one. Online I found a “dipstick tool” for that particular vehicle model. Think that will work?
I should mention I’m referring to the transmission dipstick. The pictures and the text , show there being a dipstick, but mine has just a plug that says dealer only or something
Jeeps (All Chrysler’s actually) dont come with transmission dip sticks. The one you found will 100% work, i have the cheap one from amazon. Just make sure you take it out when your done and put the cap back on.
This is not topic related , but obviously you know your stuff. I've been a Nissan technician for a while now , and I've had a ton of trouble passing ASE 's . The way the tests are layed out are difficult for me. I got one ASE out of the 8 , but still barely passed. Any ideas , references , strategies you might be able to share ? Thank you in advance for your time Tomas Garcia .
It comes down to a person that us a good test taker. Eliminate each incorrect answer , Try to understand what is the point of the question . . Some times the questions , can be answered by questions further down the test . Can't think of exact example right now.
I would recommend getting a series of ASE test prep books. You can find them online. They're about $30 per test so be sure they are updated to current testing info. Delmar Publishing and Motor Age are good ones. Unfortunately, some of the questions are really out dated and unless you've studied for them (or know old school technology) you won't even know what they're talking about. The study guides cover a lot of theory that you won't learn on the job.
Stickless transmissions (except for Chrysler's rip-off idea of stickless)... is the best, fastest refill method ever... love it.. just blast it in cold with an intentional 1 quart-ish over fill, then run to specified temp and.let drain itself down to correct level.... done
The truest answer would be that they save a ton of money when they eliminate a dipstick and tube by replacing it with a short stub or three plugs: one to fill, one to drain (some don't have a drain), and one to determine when there's enough fluid. Many current transmissions are factory filled by weight and not volume so it's not needed at assembly. The manufacturers say if there are no leaks then fluid level checking is not required unless the trans is acting up or has been serviced. They have procedures for that and it's not always easy for professionals and a nightmare for DIY people.
OTC Tools 6792 Transmission Fluid Fill/Extract Kit with Adapters
amzn.to/2tO1Yfu
We've been getting by with using garden sprayers for filling stuff, there's a couple of them around for different fluids.
I use the Mityvac fluid evacuator/dispenser. But one time I forgot it at home, so I used a spare garden sprayer to fill a transmission.

I use the motive 1745. I only have a few adapters and make most of my own as needed. Sure beats holding bottles upside down with a hose on the end.
Right on time with the 6am upload. Really helps with those long rides to work!
Got the old hand pumper
Kinda a pain to use but gets the job done
Thanks for another video
Honda's also like to burb so you gotta fill it slowly also im gonna look into this for servicing the 9 speeds
Head band camera ? Mount for the service cart ? Magnet mount ?
i wanna use it for other fluids how do i clean this thing with out contaminating it with other engine fluids
Would have been nice to see the parts of the unit and told how to use it.
This is great information thanks for sharing.
I use the AST
Driveline filler and
The only drawback to
it is that if you want to fill
something that is 3.5 qrts you
have to fill it with 4 qrts because the
pick up is about an inch from the bottom.
So my question would be "does the OTC driveline
filler dispense all the fluid you fill it with"
Not 100%, but like 97%
Those things work wonders for those Ford transit vans with the tiny plastic dipstick
Mec dud need upgrade to your video like what things are for mec uses musie talking thow this wouldn't sound like a 🤖
Is the pressure adjustable?
Good morning brother, have a great day

Jaws ThePleco that’s funny (I believe you) but in chilton repair book, it has pictures showing its their, but it ain’t haha.. just the tube 😫
Jaws ThePleco thanks tho, it’s only like $22 or something so it’s worth a shot to save some $
Thanks.
What kind of air pressure can it take?
90PSI
Blazer02LS thanks. I was asking because our shops air pressure is over 125psi.
@@lukeloader Get a regulator and a couple of quick connects. Put it between your supply line and the tool when you need to.

Why have manufacturers decided to do away with the dipstick? As a diy guy it drives me nuts.
