On silverado the wider orange tube fits in dipstick hole. If you do it when fluid is cold and has drained into pan overnight it works way better and faster ... drain container being lower makes big diff also ... and being parked with front downhill overnight tilts pan so more fluid is near dipstick where tube picks up ...
I bought the exact tool, and upon experiencing the same issues, I cut black thin hose shorter so the orange and black hose was in the transmission dipstick tube, then siphoned out, and it took me 30minutes as I poured some transmission conditioner down there to remove varnish build up, after all that I dropped the pan, inspected the filter and pan was no metal particles.. and refilled the atf on our 2017 GMC sierra 1500 slt 5.3 .. now it's time to do it to our 99 tahoe LT 5.7
Nice!!! I found a clear plastic, more rigid hose and used it to pull another 2 quarts out and that worked way better than the orange ones it came with!
I just bought a transfer pump from walmart (hyper tough $11.00) and it has sharkbite fittings to hold the hoses to the pump--much better than harbor freight and also has the clear standard tough hose that will not collapse. The HF hoses are way to soft for suction and will collapse. The hose will go all the way to the bottom in my caravan. Your small hose is probably stopped up with sludge and also to small. you could try cutting out a 1/4 notch at the end so it won't get plugged with sludge. Same technique as racking wine.You could buy the clear hose at homedepot that will work.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like great value for that Walmart purchase. No sludge build-up in my transmission and I did a full service prior so I’ve seen the bottom of the tranny pan, fluid, and magnet. But after this video I used the clear hose a couple of times and no more suction issues. Like you said, it’s that soft hose that it came with that just collapses-junk!
That jug you are using to recycle the fluid, use the old cap on it. Cut a hole in it big enough to put the hose in it so you can keep the hose from popping out. I should hold the hose in the jug. If needed, put a small hose clamp in the hose UNDER the cap so it won't slide out of the cap, that's if you cut the hole too big.
informative video,mate. We have reached out to you via email for inquiring an opportunity of LED lighting review. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
That adapter to change the red hose to the black hose needs to be AT the pump. The work you're doing is right, but the design is wrong. You're trying to suck fluid thru a very small diameter hose into a larger diameter hose where the pressure does collapse the red hose. ALSO, this pump is $7.49 at Harbor Freight.
Thanks. That's all it comes with and we don't have Harbor Freight in Canada. But it's all good, the thicker hose I used instead isn't collapsing but I see what you mean.
Another possibility for the red hose collapsing is the black hose is fitting a bit tight in the dipstick tube and not allowing for enough air to make its way into the trans fluid reservoir thus causing a vacuum which will certainly collapse the red tube. Also, the black tube might be getting pinched a bit down inside also causing flow constriction and thus another vacuum condition on the tube causing its collapse, so the solution recommended (cutting the red hose short) does help remedy the suction collapse issue to a point. If air can flow easily down the dipstick tube, there should be no reason for a suction tube collapse other than tube pinching or maybe the suction end right up against the pan wall causing a constriction and vacuum condition.
Throw the black tube in garbage, no need for it, if red hose is to short splice a short piece in it with a barbed fitting. the hole is to small in black tube.
@@Vanhalen1 darn.. I have no experience with that vehicle though I do know that Ford doesn’t like people to DIY their transmission fluid in general, so I guess I’m not totally surprised. 😕

Ive been doing this for years in my older chrysler. Every 6 months i pump out 3 quarts, and dump 3 new quarts in. Smooth shifts always.
Nice!! 👍

I'm not sure that the orange hose would fit down my transmission tube, but thank you - I'll take a look at that when I get to it.

- Pitiful! Thanks for warning me! I will find one with the proper hose ...
Yeah the stronger rubber clear tubing I found fits and works perfectly. Just used it again for my rear differential fluid change and it was perfect. 👍
@@lmsdiy - Thank you -
great video exactly what I was looking for thank you
Awesome. Works well for me overall. 🙂

Did you do when vehicle was cold
Yeah, mostly. It was warm outside but the engine and transmission weren't running recently so the fluid wasn't hot.

A 100 degrees isn't hot for a transmission my Silverado sits at 176 in my Silverado and the manual says that's where it's supposed to be
100 degrees Celsius is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Im sorry i wasn't paying attention to that part
@@DustinKeating-yk3vq all good. 🙂 I'm adding an extra transmission cooler to the truck next month and that will help for sure.

I tried the more rigid clear tube and it works great 👍 No collapsing and stopping like with those cheap orange lines!
My darn transmission reservoir is curved so cant get the hose down far enough
Ack! That’s disappointing. Gotta take a trip to the hardware store!
@@lmsdiy I have tried different siphoning hoses to no avail due to the curved reservoir
