    I'm wanting to do a complete ATF change but I see posts that claim the V6 doesn't have a transmission cooler in the radiator. True or false?

    False.
    You can see the transmission lines going into the radiator....
    If you really want to do a complete flush take it to a shop.

    Thanks, that video is what got me considering replacing the fluid. I just need to verify the drivers side is the tube to disconnect.

    To follow up, the Timmy video is exactly applicable to my 01 and is very easy to accomplish.
