6.6 ft lb 80 lb And you don't have to remove the exhaust. You just need to strap the back side of the exhaust pipe near the cross member and pull the pipe down. To remove the pan.
You don’t have to take the exhaust off. Get a 2x4 and ratchet strap, put the 2x4 across the 2 cross members and ratchet strap the exhaust down near the catalytic converter. It will bring it down enough to get the pan off and slide out easy.
You dont need that “1inch”. No need to lift tranny. ALL YOU NEED IS A SLIGHT angled TURN OF THE PAN, slide down the filter, and a little slide down motion of the pan. Thats it you’ll get that pan out.
mine came out it was tight but a twist and it came out replaceing the filter seal is a bitch after bending the first one with a socket i found a scredriver that the handle fit inside perfect and taped the screwdriver tip with rubber mallet and it went in fine.
You do not need to remove the exhaust nuts to remove the drain pan. Take a ratchet strap and 2x4 and brace the 2x4 against the cross member and transmission support and place the ratchet strap around the exhaust expansion joint and ratchet it down. This will give you proper clearance to remove the pan due to the exhaust cross section clearance issue.
Some manifold "Y" pipes don't have to be dropped depending on the position of it when installed at the factory, in my case I have to drop the "Y" pipe & I need a torch to get the nuts free. What a crazy design.
Magnetic part trays are valuable assets. Some diyrs suggest removing the transmission mount bolts and jacking the tranny for clearance. Your method of seperating the y-pipe from the manifolds seem easier. Also some have mentioned having the pan modied for a drain plug to help with fluid containment.
That's correct, make sure that you fill it according to the dipstick. Start vehicle and check it again while it is reaching operating temperature. Shift in all gears with your foot on the brake. Once vehicle reach operating temp. Check Transmission Fluid with vehicle in Park. Add if needed.
I use the ac delco but max life Valvoline I believe is compatible. AC delco was actually cheaper on Amazon anyway. This isn’t the same as the rip off situation that Nissan and Honda put you in for transmission fluid
They used the wrong fluid for my truck It was shaking so bad I thought I needed a new transmission. Luckily I bought the mobile one blue label that was designed for the 2015-25 Chevy cars and trucks.
You should have a dip stick on the passenger side of the vehicle. If not look underneath on the right side of the transmission and see if there is a plug for the dipstick.
You can’t use the auto parts brand. It must be the factory brand with the v1 on the label. The old version has the 111 label Roman numerals on the gm brand fluid. Six not three. Or you will have so much shutters that the car won’t move after a few hundred miles. I just paid 1,200$ for three fluid changes and I realized they used wrong fluid. The gm shop uses the correct fluid and nobody knows anything about that !
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892do you know how much fluid needed to service 2015 Silverado transmission ( 6 speed) , can I replace 1 of the quarter of fluid with Lucas transmission fix ( stop slip)
I swear the government needs to step in and stop letting these car manufacturers purposely make it more difficult and or needing special tools to fix there shit...the dam pipe didn't have to be there 😡

Thank you for sharing that information 😊
My thoughts exactly. I've done this exact process on a 2011 silverado and it worked perfectly
Just tried it and it worked perfectly. Thank you!

Yeah that doesnt work.
I got the same truck. the pan comes right off. dumb mechanic

great job Bro and nice video presentation, where is your shop at , I'm from Houston Tx.
@angelolautchang9667 NC, thank you for your comment !
Can you pump out ATF fluid from ATF dipstick first to minimize mess when dropping pan? 07 Escalade AWD here..
Good question,
I'm not aware on how you can go about doing that especially by the dipstick being so long.
Awesome video . Thanks for sharing

how do i know i put enough in after cleaning out the pan before i start? check dipstick cold? and do i have to keep adding more after getting ti temps
That's correct, make sure that you fill it according to the dipstick. Start vehicle and check it again while it is reaching operating temperature. Shift in all gears with your foot on the brake. Once vehicle reach operating temp. Check Transmission Fluid with vehicle in Park. Add if needed.
Thanks for showing all the details, tips!

How hot does the 6l80 transmission get on the 2018 silverado 1500 5.3 ?
It can range from 158 to 239 depending on the load the Truck may have.
Mine has gotten up to 195.
@@kathyd1050Superior solutions blesses you with low temps, easy mod and worth it
@@REDDELECTRIC Also, if you dont feel like fiddling with it, PPE makes a direct replacement bypass valve made out of billet.
@@REDDELECTRIC yes. I made this mod and it reduced stupid high trans temps when just driving on highway.
Great video. Can you tell me what size your engine is. Is it a 5.3 V8 and a 6L80 6 speed? Thanks for letting us all know.
Yes Sir that's correct! And thank you for your comment.
What kind of trans oil is best for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 5.3 v8?
@@MrBethac86i hear amsoil signature is the absolute best! ACDelco is standard reccomended
Does this video work for 4.3 v6 6l80
6.2 Highcounrty. Mines came out with out ratchet strap i didn't even bother with the exhaust..
Do you have to use AC Delco transmission fluid or can I use a different brand? I was told it had to be AC Delco.
I use the ac delco but max life Valvoline I believe is compatible. AC delco was actually cheaper on Amazon anyway. This isn’t the same as the rip off situation that Nissan and Honda put you in for transmission fluid
It do not have to be the AC Delco Branch. But it must be Transmission Fluid that meets the same requirements.
They used the wrong fluid for my truck It was shaking so bad I thought I needed a new transmission. Luckily I bought the mobile one blue label that was designed for the 2015-25 Chevy cars and trucks.
Is it normal my 2017 Chevy doesn’t have anywhere to check like a dipstick I can’t find it
You should have a dip stick on the passenger side of the vehicle. If not look underneath on the right side of the transmission and see if there is a plug for the dipstick.
If you don't have a dipstick you have a 8 speed transmission. 6 speed has a dipstick on a 6L80E transmission only.
2018 Silverado can’t seem to find transmission dip stick. Am I blind??
@@carterstevenson6517 It should be on the passenger side. Chevrolet painted those dipsticks black.
How is Chevy to cheap to put a drain plug
is this 6 or 8 speed transmission
Please forgive me for accidentally overlooked this comment. It is a 6- speed Transmission. I thank you for watching and hope that it will help.
I thought change filter sound hard, look easy somebody doing it 😂

6 quarts just for service?
👍 Yes, I basically just drop the Fluid Pan. The rest is in the Torque Converter and Cooler.
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892do you know how much fluid needed to service 2015 Silverado transmission ( 6 speed) , can I replace 1 of the quarter of fluid with Lucas transmission fix ( stop slip)
That is for dropping pan and changing filter only.

this guy is an idiot. the pan comes right off
