    I realise there's several tutorials about this, this is how my procedure went. YMMV!
    Items I used included, approximately 5' 3/8 clear tubing. Hose clamp. 5 gallon bucket. Funnel.
    Cardboard to lay on/catch drips. 12mm socket/ ratchet. Pliers. 13 quarts Toyota T14 ATF.
    Assistant. 2 half gallon milk jugs. Remove the skid plate.
    Remove cooler line hose closest to the bumper/furthest from engine. Put PVC tube on steel end and put tubing and rubber hose from truck into one jug. Have Assistant start engine and immediately stop engine. Determine if you have selected the correct cooler line. If fluid comes out the clear tubing you got it. If it comes out the rubber hose from the truck you failed. I got it wrong the first time. Now put both jugs in the bucket and have Assistant start truck. Watch the flow until you see sputtering, stop engine.
    On my truck I got approximately 3 quarts. (I wanted to get all the dirty fluid in the pan first.) Add 3 quarts T14. Dump fluid in empty quart bottles. Next run engine and stop at 2 quarts. Add 2 quarts. Dump fluid into empty quart bottles. Repeat until, fluid is clean red.
    If you pay close attention you should end up very close to the perfect amount in the transmission. My truck needed 13 quarts to run clean. Remove hose and put rubber hose back on the steel cooler line. Run the truck and check fluid hot. This is how I did it. I'm not saying it's the right way but it worked for me.20240408_204810.jpg 20240408_100350.jpg
    I then added the shudder eliminator. Probably not necessary but I figured what the hey.20240408_204550.jpg

    I know I should have dropped the pan and cleaned up everything but I am lazy and I was in a hurry. Don't be like me.

    Then check it. Don't use that additive crap.

    Jimmy was spot on.

    You'll get through this.

    Love as always.

    Amen :thumbsup:
