i have always had a mixed opinion on this deal personally.

what i have always done, was drain it, replace the filter, strain the old fluid, mix 2:1 old to new fluid and replace it.

and then see how that goes, and then in 20-30k more miles, if it makes it there, do the same thing (minus filter) but 1:2 old to new. and if it keeps going after that, then i treat it like a normal tranny that has been serviced regularly

I've seen a lot of people do this and have great luck with GM and Ford auto's. I've tried it personally with a couple dodge and seen a few others try something similar with no luck. The only auto I resurrected from the dead was an old 44RE from a half ton dodge and it ended up getting new bands and a valve body about 40k after I started mixing fluid.

yeah, idk never had issues with it.

never had one go out, but i think the most they have gotten outa the car after that is 65ish K more

im at 235k kms and its never been done on my car o.o

auto/10

Whats wrong with driving an automatic? I love auto in my jeep, I don't want to dick around with a 5 speed...

Its good for some applications, than manual is good on others.

Well 101k on the Silverado
Got the trans flush done earlier

I think she's a happy girl now..We'll see how things go
