    I was always told you had to take the truck into the dealership cause there is no way to check the level of the tranny fluid.

    You can only drain about 3 quarts at a time.

    You need to put back in exactly what you take out.

    For some reason these trucks are very picky about level compared to other vehicles.

    There is no dipstick. Just a fill plug and drain plug.

    Stated to be 100K lifespan on fluid.

    A number of members have stated they took the truck in and dealer who in turn will not preform the service, the dealers they will do the service seem to mess it up and get the level wrong resulting in incorrect shift pattern.
