Transmission fluid drained (sad face)

Every factory transmission pan that I have seen is painted black...

 

Good for you OP trying to do some maintenance yourself, learn from your mistakes. Get some red paint or nail polish and color in the transmission drain bolts to make them obvious not to remove.

 

OP, the guys that bash you for this mistake have never, EVER, screwed up before. It would be nice to be them...

 

Fumoto valve and never have this problem again

Thing is, I bet even if you brought your truck to any oil change place, this could happen too

 

Or we did screw up, and got our chops busted and learned from it.

 

Careful there... "hand tight snug" has way too much room for interpretations.
For instance, the factory oil filter on my snowmobile was done up "hand tight snug" -- either by an out of work sumo wrestler, or possibly the incredible hulk.

 

No. That is definitely not the case. It was systemic. Every single unit sold that year had way over tightened oil filter. Reality is that they were probably torqued to spec, but the spec was off by x10.

 

More likely just because it was first year for the model, and it was very radically different than anything the market had *ever* seen.... RX1. Not really the kind of new model entry you want to risk on the aptitude of the new guy. There was another spot I recall where a torque spec was off on it. Not from factory, but as printed in the service manual. They had the clutch bolt torque spec to something like 130 footpounds -- well you couldn't ever get it over 110, because the bolt would stretch. But that's the kind of weird crap that happens on such a radically new model.

 

In so far as I'm an owner of one, sure.
But no, I definitely had nothing to do with designing the machine, if that's what you're asking.
