I watched this video three time.
First to see how you did it.
Next One for taking the cover off.
Then again when I was stuck trying to get it back on.
Working on a 13 suburban. It did fit but if I had not seen you do it I would have given up and pulled the exhaust loose.
Many thanks man👍
Glad you found the video helpful. It's a tight space for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting! ☺️
2017 Chevy Suburban Premier - This worked perfectly. The pan had plenty of room to come out in my case. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear everything worked out for you. I'm still not quite sure why some vehicles have the clearance and some don't but I'll keep searching. Thanks for watching! 👍
This is one of the best videos that I have seen on replacing the filter and seal on a 6L80 transmission that I have seen. It makes the task so much easier. Today I replaced my oil pan and filter on my 2014 Silverado. The pan came right off with ease. And went back on the same way. The hardest part was replacing the filter seal. I didn’t pay close enough attention to the install. I didn’t invert the socket and I bent the seal and had to buy another one. Thanks to the creator.
Cuánto es la presión de aceite en transmisión, la mía llega a 60 PSI, será correcto?
Agreed with the others that this the most clear and straightforward video on TH-cam. Doing my fluid change tomorrow with confidence now!
I watched 8 videos about this transmission job so far. Your video is by far the most clear and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome, we're glad that you found the video helpful. Let us know if you have any questions and thanks for watching! 🙂👍
I also think this is the best video that I have seen for this procedure. I have seen one where it called for using a tie down strap to pull down on the exhaust to get the pan off but it never talked about removing the heat shield. I am going to be doing a filter change soon and this video has been an excellent help.
I appreciate the very thorough explanation and attention to detail. If only every tutorial video on youtube was made like this! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😁
This video on how to do this is the best that I have seen. It has helped to eliminate the fear that I have about performing such an action. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear it's helped eliminate any fears. It's pretty straightforward process as most transmission fluid and filter changes go, its just that pesky exhaust pipe lol. If you have any questions just let us know! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Very professional. Great job with the video, speaking, and craftsmanship working with the tools! One of the best do it yourself maintenance videos I have seen.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you found the video helpful to keep your truck going for many more miles. Thanks for watching! ☺️
Awesome video! Very bright and close up to see exactly what you did. Making following ur steps that much easier. What look like took you an hr took me 6 hrs. I had some hiccups. The rachest strap on the exhaust was all i needed to clear the exhaust with the pan didnt have to loosen any bolts. I wouldnt of been able to get it done with out this video thank you!
Great Job you Definitely have the Right Temperament for being a Mechanic. So many Mechanics I know are just a Miserable SOS.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words 😊
Good step by step, easy to see what’s involved in the fluid change. Good video.
Thanks for the kind words, glad you found it helpful. 😊
Nice Job, very informative and to the point! 🤝
This is the best damn instructional video I've ever seen. Nicely done. Thank you for all of your time and effort giving us this information. You rock.
We're glad you found this video helpful, thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Great video bro!! U got the right angles and everything very precise thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks bro! Glad the video was helpful for you. Thanks for watching! 👍
You made that look so easy, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟
Thank you for the information. Great video. Hope to see more.
Thanks for watching! 🤟
What a great video and attention to detail! Glad I subscribed! Happy New Year sir!
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you found the video helpful. Happy New Years to you! 😊
Great Video I will be changing out the transmission fluid on my 2016 Silverado
Thanks! Glad you found our video helpful and if you have any questions just let us know. Thanks for watching! 😊
thank you much about to do this coming weekend and it really gave me a better understanding of how to do properly.
You're welcome. If you have any questions just let us know. And thanks for watching ☺️
Thank you sir! Best tip: "take your time"...Appreciate the help.
You're welcome, glad to be helpful. 👍
Best tutorial on youtube! Thanks man!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟
Great video, and I like how you showed how to maneuver the pan to one side and twist and it came out easy. I am going to try this. I just did mine but did not remove the pan. I am going to try your method. and going to buy that transfer pump. Thanks for making this video.
You did amazing job ,I learned how to do it.
This is by far the best video on TH-cam demonstrating this process.
Thanks for watching! 🤟
Great JOB, you did an awesome step by step breakdown, I got to tackle mine now
Thanks, appreciate the kind words. If you have any questions please let us know. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Your video was very well done and easy to understand
Glad you found our video helpful. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Nice job,when you put the seal in I use a bit of petroleum jelly or grease to make it stick to the socket to avoid cleaning it again after dropping it,then wipe it off when it's in place.You can also use grease to keep the gasket in place.
Love it. Great Video and Awesome details.
Guess thats why im a subscriber.
Tyank you my Brother.
Real good indeed.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We're glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Good work 👍
I used a small pump to suck out 6 quarts from the dip stick. Then refilled took 10 minutes. Got 170,000 miles on my 16 silverado still going strong. 3/8 tubing was to big to get all 6 qt so I adapted down to 5/16 tubing worked great.
Very good video
Great video
Thanks for watching! 😊
Harbor freight has a fluid vacuum that uses an air compressor to generate vacuum. Worked flawlessly on my suburban.
This video is amazing great job. I personally would have used amsoil and also drain the lines to get full benefit of having all old oil out of tranny and new one in.
Agreed, can't go wrong with Amsoil! Next time I'll go for it 😉
First time I've seen removing the heat shield. Can't wait to try that at my next trans service. That pan is a PIA to remove.
Thanks brother
You're welcome 🙂
Hey is it possible to know which one is the temp sensor on this setup because I ordered a harness that’s different than this one and idk if it’s the white harness or the whole brown harness can you please help me out
Great video! Where can I find that oil pan with the quart marks? Thanks!
You can find that clear pan right here: amzn.to/45C6B9u
Thanks for watching! 🙂
I been wanting to do my transmission oil changes on my 2016 suburban this videos just made me go do it my only concern was if i hade to losen the support but your transmission looks just like mine the pan should come right out i think 😅
We're glad you found motivation to get your transmission oil change done! I wasn't sure if I had to loosen the exhaust pipe or mount either. It's been a mixed bag between having no problems to having clearance issues, hopefully yours go smoothly as mine went! Good luck! 👍
Thank you I think am all for it because am not trying to pay over 300 for just the transmission oil change
Lucky, I called my local Chevy dealership and got quoted 500 for this job, so glad to be able to help you save money. Let me know how yours goes! 😊
@TrickShiftGarage questio do you think it's a good idea to put some lucas transmission oil as well? and do I need to buy a pound per pressure rachet or it's optional am doing the oil change this week end
Great video, Ima gonna change out the fluid on mine should I also replace the filter, it’s slipping and it has 85k miles on it
Hello! Yeah, I would replace the filter and hopefully...with fresh new fluid, that fixes the slipping issue. Thanks for watching 🙂
I'd put jack stands under the front chassis for safety in case the worse happens as well as put the same amount of fluid you took out
Good call, doesn't hurt to have just in case. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂
@TrickShiftGarage actually, I realized you already figured you needed all 8 qts because the torque converter carries some too, but a good rule of thumb is to always replace what you took out. Thanks for the great video sir!!
my 2014 was missing a bolt in the trans pan from the factory also.
I don't know if it was from the factory as I bought mine at 82k miles but I remember a couple of the bolts were pretty loose when I was taking the pan off, strange. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
Lol so.many videos of people prying down on the exhaust with ratchet straps. Never a good idea. Great video.
Awesome vid man! Ty! 07 Escalade here and looking to do this soon. I noticed you just used drive on ramps to get under there?
Also? After you added the fluid, did you immediately back the truck off the ramps for fluid check? Or did you cycle the gears then back off the truck off the ramps? Im debating whether I can complete this with ramps only? Or do I need to jack up rear of truck as well and complete job as leveled as possible?
Is the fluid you used full Sythetic? Thank you!
Thanks man we appreciate it! Glad its been helpful for you!
Yes, I used just drive on ramps, those were bought at harbor freight lol. You shouldn't have to lift the rear of the truck to have access to the transmission pan, you should be able to get by with just the front ramps.
After, I added the recommended 6 quarts, I backed it up off the ramps and took for a test drive, being gentle with it because i suspected the fluid level might be low. Once I came back from driving it around, I cycled through all the gears, holding them for a few seconds each, then putting it back in park and the checking the fluid level. I was indeed low so put 2 more quarts in, cycles theough the gaers again, the checked the fluid level and it was finally at a good level. I think I lost 8 quarts due to the truck fluid draining from the torque converter when I let it set for a few days after using the fluid extractor. Either way, it's always a good starting point to put back in the same amount of fluid that drained out, but still always check the fluid level afterwards.
The fluid I used was AC Delco's Dexron VI which uses a synthetic based blend but either should work just fine, as long as it meets GM's specifications to be licensed as "Dexron VI". There are better fluid (Amsoil, Valvoline...etc) that use full synthetic formula, its really just up to you and your budget. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions just let us know! Good luck! 👍
Thanks for the feedback! I have the same HF ramps ! Where did you get that clear fluid measuring bin from! Awesome to own one!
Haha, nice! HF has some good stuff. I actually got the clear container off Amazon lol, here's the link for it 😉
amzn.to/45C6B9u
Appreciate that share! Hey, when you removed the old transmission filter gasket, were there some knicks left on the mating surface after the removal? Thank you!
No, there wasn't any knicks, just make sure to be very careful and gentle not to gouge or carve the aluminum (i.e. whole chunks are missing) or the seal won't seal properly.
If you lightly scratched or scuffed the surface, it should be fine and still hold. I know taking that seal out was a bit sketchy but sometimes you have to work with the tools you got and make the best of the situation. Make sure to clean up the surface area with brake cleaner on a rag and just wipe it all clean. 😊
Good video! Do you think it’s necessary you have to change the filter gasket?
Thank you! Personally, I always change the filter gaskets even though they are a pain to replace. That gasket seals the unfiltered transmission fluid from the filtered fluid, so it's important to keep that seal tight, which is why I always change it out with the filter. Hope this helps, thanks for watching! 👍
Love the video, specially how you show exactly what you are doing. how many miles did your truck have when you changed the oil? is this the first one you've done on the truck?
Thank you! The truck had around 92,000 miles when I did this and yes, this is the first time I've done it on the truck. It wasn't too bad with the fluid transfer pump, made it less messy lol. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂
@@TrickShiftGarage thank you for replying. Do you recommend doing one on a 2015 sierra at 129k miles?
Sure, you could do one at that mileage. You could check the fluid condition (and level) first to see if it's necessary. We have a video on how to do it here:
th-cam.com/video/b2Fugi0o2ko/w-d-xo.html
Basically if the fluid is brown or black with little to no amount of red tint, it's time to change it. If the fluid is mostly red still you have some time. Hope this helps!
@@TrickShiftGarage awesome!! thank you. i appreciate it!
You're welcome 😁
ive never seen a pan come off before with out using a 2x4 jammed into exhaust pipe to pry and lower it a 1/4 inch . hmmm . maybe they changes the pipe a touch for 2015 ??
Perhaps so...or maybe it was already bent down before I bought the truck 😂
Nice video. I have a 2020 Suburban 6speed. My trans stick level at 150f is right on the hot 2nd dot. I noticed yours in right on the "H" within the hash marks. Am I over full?
I think you're fine as long as you're not over the 2nd dot. Thanks for watching! 🙂
You are a pal.
You're a pal!
Your truck has way more clearance between pan and exhaust that mine. I still have to use a strap and drop it a half inch
Ah ok, thanks for letting us know, I'm still not sure why some trucks can and others can't but I'll keep searching. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂
Have you had any brake issues
Because my brake pedal drop to the floor and at low speed it jerks but I have change the brakes lines and pads rotor booster but is still doing the same thing 01 Silverado 1500 4 wheels drive
Hello! Thanks for commenting! I've hadn't had any brake issues so far with my truck. If your brake pedal is dropping to the floor, I suspect a bad master cylinder. Check the whole system over for any leaks. If there is no leaks, I suspect the seals are bad inside the master cylinder. I hope this helps you, good luck! Thanks for watching 😊
Probably just need to do a brake fluid exchange. Since you did allowed air into the brake system when changing the brake lines
I can tell every DIYers outhere that this do not work like that on every truck; my pan never had the required clearance without jacking the trans, losening the trans bushing bolts, strapping thr exhaust + losening the exhaust manifold flange nuts. It would not clear without losening the exhaust. You are a lucky guy that the pan came off like this. Go buy a loto ticket haha
Haha! Thanks for your comment. Honestly wasn't sure if it would work or not, but managed to squeeze it out relatively quick. I guess the old "your mileage may vary" applies with this project 😉
I second this comment. I am currently stuck with my pan laying on my exhaust and my pan will not “finagle” out like you did. Mine is hung.
Sorry to hear that! You could try a pry bar and force the exhaust pipe downwards or use a ratchet strap with a jack. You could also loosen the bolts up by the exhaust manifold on each side, I don't think you need to remove the bolts completely but not sure. Hope this helps you and good luck!
Yep, just took a stab at it and mine would not clear. Had to be innovative to say the least
I’m glad I’m seeing this comment. Because I just spent way too long rewatching the exact way he does it and trying for that thing not to be even close to coming out.
Some of the other videos show using different prying devices to get the pan off. Obviously you did not need them. Also does that round gasket need to be changed every fluid service? Finally how much did you save doing it yourself as opposed to taking it to the dealer?
Hello! It's recommended to replace the round gasket for the filter on each change. I spent about $130 for the fluid, filter and gaskets (including the pan gasket). The Chevrolet dealership nearby quoted me $515 for this job. So overall, you would save around $400 by doing this yourself. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 😊
If i may ask what was the milage on your truck when you did this video? and have you had any problems with this 6L80 transmission to date? as they are prone to issues
I had about 92-93k miles on her at the time the video was made. I haven't had any issues to date. I have heard about bad torque converters and such but I guess I've been lucky thus far lol. Thanks for watching ☺️
Does the 6l80e come with regular or synthetic from factory?
I think it's regular from the factory, but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching! 👍
So I should do a trans flush ? Got my truck at around 123k miles I’m at 155k now I’m about to install a bypass so I can run cooler but all I’ve been seein about trans flush is after you do it won’t run good and you’ll be needing a new trans
It shifts kinda hard sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t so I’m assuming it’s time
Well, I am in the mist's of trying to take off the pan, and mine is a 2017. so far no luck in removing the pan. Ugh!
Try loosening (not removing) the exhaust bolts up by the exhaust manifold or using ratchet straps to pull the exhaust down enough to get it free. Those are the tips that I heard to use. Hang in there it will come out! 👍
Will this work on a 2003 youkon xl?
Unfortunately not. Thanks for watching though 🙂
I noticed you cut the video of when you were rotating the pan and pulling it out. That white plastic piece keeps you from pulling the pan off. Surely you had some trouble with that. Why didn't share it? How did you get past that. I was never able to and it looks like you pipes are in the exact same place as mine. Just wondering.
My arm blocked the camera view completely as I was rotating the pan around so I cut that out so you wouldn't have to see my arm, sorry! Basically I slid the pan over toward the passenger side first, the lowered it what I could and rotated the front portion toward the driver side. Just go slow and it should come out. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the clarification. I was never able to remove the pan completely. I just cleaned everything in place. Awkward, but I got the job done. Thanks for doing the video. Gives the rest of us confidence to do the job and save some money.
What about the oil in the torque converter?
That will remain with the new fluid unfortunately. Another fluid drain would get more out of it though. A flush would totally clear it out. Thanks for watching! 👍
My 2014 silverado jerking at stops u think its the fluids ?
Yes, it could be your transmission fluid level is low or the condition of the fluid is bad. We have a video walking you through this process here:
th-cam.com/video/b2Fugi0o2ko/w-d-xo.html
If it doesn't solve the jerking at stops than you should probably take it in to get diagnosed. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! 👍
@TrickShiftGarage what is happening is that when i drive is good when i co e to a complete stop and it's my turn to go i give it a bit gas and it takes a sec or 2 then it jumps into gear and it feels like someone bumped me in the back !!! Weird
@Gabriel-fq1ni im getting same thing, going to try this tomorrow, its like a hard shift
How many solenoids does this transmission have?
It has 6 pressure control solenoids and 2 shift solenoids. Thanks for watching! 👍
@@TrickShiftGarage I’ve called many auto zones asking if they have the shift solenoids they tell me they only have the transmission control module would it happen to be that?
How come all the videos I've seen this is the only one where the pan came right out????????
I'm not sure. It did take some jiggling and turning in order to clear the exhaust pipe. I think removing the heat shield on the passenger side helps some by allowing the pan to slide to that side before rotating toward the driver side. That's what worked for me. Thanks for watching! 🙂
@@TrickShiftGarage one guy put a ratchet strap on the C.Converter to kind of cause that exhaust pipe to have a little more clearance not sure if it was on the Sierra or Silverado. But thanks for the great video. liked and subscribed....
Great video but I’m shocked you went back with AC Delco transmission fluid. Most people use Mobile 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP (Blue Label). It eliminates all the shudder, vibration and hard shifts most of these transmissions have.
Thank you! I wanted to make this video serve as a general reference so went with the factory fluid. I haven't had any shudders or hard shifts, so was fine with using AC Delco.
However, I will definitely use a better quality fluid going forward like Mobil 1 or maybe Amsoil or Valvoline. Thank you for your suggestion, greatly appreciate it. 👍
Amsoil
Amsoil is what I'm leaning towards 😉
After watching Project Farm do comparisons it’s a hard pass on Amsoil for me
Was it slipping or not grabbing a gear I have a 2017 gmc sierra and the transmission acting up not grabbing engine acceleration goes up but don’t move what’s your input the mechanic says they can put a new transmission in for 8 grand but that’s about what the trucks worth lol damn gm
No, mine wasn't having any issues, it was just time for a change. I suggest checking the fluid level and making sure it's at the right level, also check the fluid condition, if it's dark brown or black it's time to change it. $8k is a lot of money so I'd try to change the fluid and filter and see if that fixes the slipping. Hope this helps, good luck! 👍
Try fluid flush Chevy recommends a different fluid now for those tranny mobile 1 HP ATF
Great video, pan would not come out. At all. No matter which way
Sorry to hear that. Moving the exhaust down by loosening the bolts at the manifolds seems to be the most common work around. Hope this helps, good luck! 🙂
It doesn’t make a difference about the side shield being on or off can still drop the pan all the same
Awesome! That's great news, I was wondering about that this whole time lol. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😁 👍
@@TrickShiftGarage yes sir honestly I’ve changed my transmission fluid many times and never even noticed that shield until I saw your video ,and went out and looked under my Yukon and there it was and great detailed video by the way
Thank you sir! That's good to know. I've seen other video instructions talking about using ratchet straps on the exhaust and didn't like that idea at all. The next time I go to drop the pan, I won't even bother with the heat shield haha! Thanks again! 🙂
@@TrickShiftGarageyes sir when taking the pan down I do the same thing you did slide it towards the driver side and it’s out but when I put it back up I use a heavy duty pry bar and my floor jack to pry on the exhaust just a little to slide that pan back into place. I enjoy watching videos of people working on their cars and not getting robbed at their stealership keep up the great work and have a blessed day brother
Good to know. Thank you Sir and you too!
Did you do the thermal bypass ?
Not yet! 😁
i dont understand what hassle you saved with the fluid transfer thing
Yeahhh, looking back, it wasn't worth the hassle lol. Thanks for watching! 👍
@TrickShiftGarage thanks for the video, just ordered my filter and oil, glad you didn't have to manipulate the exhaust 😂
Me neither lol. It's a mixed bag of guys saying they have to move the exhaust and others not having to. Hopefully yours treats you well 🙂
@TrickShiftGarage that's what my friend told me also. Thanks again dog
You're welcome bro!
Is this a V8 or V6 truck
This is a V8 truck. Thanks for watching! 👍
2014 to 2018 might be the same ,,,,,, THIS VIDEO WILL NOT WORK FOR A 2019 SILVERADO WITH A V8 you can not remove the pan unless u pull down exhaust !!!!!
If your doing this job your more than likely gonna have to take the nuts off the transmission mounting bracket and jack it up a little bit then use a pry bar to get the exhaust pushed down just enough to get the pan out just finished the job
Agreed, be ready with a pry bar and ratchet strap if there's not enough clearance. Thanks for watching! 🙂
@@TrickShiftGarage great video bud. I’m currently hung up and way you could do a demonstration of how to use a jack and ratchet strap to pull the exhaust down? That would be super helpful.
No you don't,,, have changed my 2015 Silverado 3 times without doing any of that
@@stevenstair1068 then drop some tips because I tried everything on mine and that was the only way to get clearance unless the exhaust was modified
@@napaindian62 if you jack the transmission up you and have someone else that can pry down on the exhaust you can get just enough clearance
If it aint broke add oil
Thanks for watching! 🙂
you took fluid out of the TC, that was why 8 qt.
That's what I was thinking too 👍
Everyone is saying it takes 11 quarts ..
Thanks for the insight, I heard it was 6 quarts just for a simple drain and fill job, and in my situation I ended up losing 8 quarts...🤷 Either way, always put back the same amount that you drained, then go back and check the fluid level to be sure it's correct. Thanks for watching! 👍
Justin - 11 quarts is for when you flush (ie. hook up to the transmission lines & turn it on for about 30sec, you therefore drain another 2-3 quarts on top of the 8 or 9 quarts mentioned in the video). This video was a simple drain & filter/gasket replacement. Not a full flush, of which would take 11 quarts as you stated.
Thanks for the video @TrickShiftGarage , I'm thinking about doing this for my new-to-me 2017 Sierra Elevation I bought earlier this year in September. Came with no maintenance records so I'd like to just start fresh with most fluids. It's got slightly warped rotors + it's due for an oil change anyways and one of the ABS wheel speed sensor's is causing all systems, TCS, ABS, Stabilitrak, etc to fail intermittently (they're only $40 each from GMPartsDirect, soo at that price I'll just replace all 4) until it's up to operating temperature and/or 10mins of driving. After that, it's fine. Everything will flash for about 10-15sec then go back to normal. Nothing handles differently, other than the sound of a bunch of dinging for a couple seconds. Weird as shit and a smidge annoying... but yeah, it's one of the abs wheel speed sensors. I'll get to it. I'd like to do a clean sweep once it warms up a little. Also stutters slightly coming to a complete stop going down from 2-1. Fresh ATF should/will solve it. Haven't checked the level either, could be low. & who knows when it was last replaced. Nobody keeps up with the transmission maintenance...
Appreciate the informative video, Cheers!
2019 has no dipstick
Hi! If your 2019 has no dipstick, then I'm about 90% certain you have the 8-speed 8L90 transmission and not the 6-speed 6L80 transmission as shown in the video. As far as I know, all trucks with the 6L80 come with dipsticks. Hope this info helps. Thanks for watching! 👍
Why doesn't anyone weld a bung into the transmission pan so that they can thread a plug in there so it can be easily drained the next time?
Yup! I was hoping the aftermarket had an OEM pan with a plug but only saw expensive aluminum pans with plugs. It would definitely be better than dropping the pan and getting rained on 😂
Yep $300 plus for after market with drain plug, but also had cooling fins.@TrickShiftGarage
Because that would be to smart and easy 😂
It’s designed this way so the filter is changed out at the same time as the fluid.
Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead ... OMG Find another phrase! Good video tho!
😂😂😂 thanks for watching!
This video gave me the confidence not to ratchet down the exhaust, but for the life of me i couldn't find the right angle to get it out as easy as he does.
You can do it! 😊 I think the trick is sliding the pan toward the passenger side and inch or two and then rotate the front toward the driver side while moving it down out of the way. But if all else fails, the ratchet strap method should get the job done. Thanks for watching! 👍
I aint to particulate though I am not sure it make a vas deferans!
Haha! Thanks for watching! ☺️
