Trans Flush

[riemer]

Do you guys take your trucks to the dealership to have the transmission flushed and filled? Or do you do it yourself?

i dont flush as it upsets any settled material in the cooler that once flushed can clog solenoids etc and cause trans damage.

So just drop the pan change the filter and fluid?

The only proper way to flush a 5R110 is by utilizing a heated flow machine.... which some dealerships have. Mark will probably chime in here and provide further input.

That's a bunch of bull.

That's correct.

So a hot flush at the dealership is the preferred method?

What's the going rate for a flush at a dealer? Ballpark

The more I see this I want to go hot flush route but I don't think they'll install my ptp direct drive solenoid...

Pull pan, change solenoid, change filter (depending on job# for location), reinstall clean pan, refill with mercon lv or whatever. It's easy, I can even do it.

Got a whole case of Lv last week & all the filter for a job 1. Only got 48k but I'm not original owner, I've done all my other mods. Thanks
