Back to the point of the thread, I may wind up taking the truck over to a trusted place that does trans fluid flushes dad was in the used car business a while back in the day, and when I paying for oil changes, I mostly used this place. How can you tell if your automatic transmission has failed? Can't remember the name though but it helps shudder and has an additive for seals and trans parts. No worries, and I'm not dogging on you from the other thread. You don't want to introduce that much highly detergent transmission fluid into the tranny at once. I don't like being wrong, especially when someone feels the need to be so blunt about it. Am still considering the redneck flush, actually bought a bucket last night to catch the fluid. I just don't have the means to connect the hose to the radiator.
Step 6 — Install transmission pan Lay the new gasket on the clean pan Figure 7. I love this truck, but with the year and mileage I can't see putting a lot of money into major repairs. If you drive in dusty areas, tow a trailer, idle or drive at low speeds for extended periods or drive for short periods less than four miles at a time in below freezing temperatures, even smaller intervals are recommended. Oil looked pretty good, didnt see much as far as any metal shavings. After the initial hesitation and shift it runs like new with no issues. Also, look for any leaks under it.
If I don't try to do something, I won't learn how to do it. I don't think this is on accident. I feel like I am going to break the radiator before I get the bolt to move. That way, you simply put in what you take out. Your kit should include a new seal.
Quite a few shavings on the magnet. I did go through the procedure of shifting through all the gears, as that was specified in a few place, and I figure it was a safe bet with the car stopped to get fluid through the gears. The pump creates hydraulic pressure to make the valves shift through the gears and circulate fluid throughout the transmission. At this point, it meets both given the temperature condition, although it required far less fluid than it should. That means, of the 5 quarts recommended, I somehow am listed at full despite only adding half the suggested amount. Pro Tip Since you already drained the fluid, it makes sense to replace the filter and fluid.
Why not flush the system and get it all out. Respectfully; you kind of worry me overall with automotive stuff. Travis Not sure what you mean by auto 4x4? Oil looked really bad and old. You will need 2 qts for the front diff and the rear will take a little over 2 qts so if you got all the same fluild you would need 5qts total to do the front and rear. Start the rest of the bolts by hand, making sure non of them are cross threaded. There's a cold line and hot line.
If the transmission fluid level on your Silverado 1500 is low, you need to add fluid through the dipstick tube. You can go with a synthetic in the front differential if you want, it is an option. Step 7 — Refill transmission fluid Open the hood of your truck to find the transmission dipstick on the passenger's side to the back of the engine. The rear came from the factory with synthetic and is required. Haynes manual calls for 5 qts after dropping the pan. You'll have changd 5-6 out of the 12 quarts in the system. Does the pushbuttons include a round button that says 'Auto 4wd'? The consistency of the Automatic Transmission Fluid is much the same as to that of brake fluid on your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, but never should one be used in place of the other.
Must have been the original oil. There are no clutches that will slip or burn up. I've moved on from that discussion, and figure that I just need to ignore those types of responses, rather than engage in an argument where I was well aware I was outmatched. Here's how to change the transfer case oil. If you are worried then I would do a pan gasket and another 5-6 quarts in another year. As for the line wrenches, I did actually see those on the post I was referencing, but it was not named as such there. After several iterations of doing this, I've removed approximately 2.
It cannot be flushed clean. Clean pan and new gasket. If the transmission fluid level on your Silverado 1500 is low, you need to add fluid through the dipstick tube. Just not worth it on what they might screw up or put the wrong weight of oil something so easy as that! Personally, I would either disconnect the trans cooler lines and do a redneck flush discharge line in bucket, intake line in new fluid or just pay a trusted shop to do a full flush with a machine. Next to the engine, it is the most expensive component to replace. Pull down on the filter and twist slightly to pull it off.
Modern cars and trucks need much less maintenance than the vehicles of 25 years ago, but they still have needs. And the manual does indicate that it'd be 11 qts bone dry, or 5 for a filter and fluid change. It must just be me. In many cases the initial maintenance check is done at no cost check with the service department for more information. If you are not comfortable in doing it yourself, find a good Tech that understands the importance of changing the filter and have him do the job.
