    So the Haynes manual says to do as follows - with engine running entire time, put the trans through all gears, open the check bolt, a 5mm allen, if fluid comes gushing out you have it over filled, if none comes out it's underfilled, if a slight trickle happens it's approx right, you should allow to drain or fill (fill through the 24mm bolt on the side) till you achieve the trickle. At this point close everything up and go drive about 10 miles. Remove the check bolt and see how it is, add or drain depending on how fluid coming out of hole. You want a slight trickle, tighten both bolts up, go home and feel accomplished while having a beer.

    Well guys... I tried putting it into Temperature Check Mode again today and it worked... I guess I was doing something wrong yesterday or just not seeing the light flash. My truck does indeed have the "A/T AT TEMP" light.

    The only problem now is that it idle for about ten minutes and just died.... I posted a new thread Titled: "Truck Dying - Please Help" where I outlined all the details of the situation.
