FLUID CHANGE ??
04- f150- 1/2-5.4- 98000- 4x4 -3.73-auto- going to have trans flushed for $89.00 then changing trans filter should i add any kind of additives for protection,
when changing fluid for transfer case/both axles, should the trk be on level surface for fluid level. i have a chance to use a arm lift or ramp lift , $4.00 hr ! also any additives needed. Thanks

You don't need any additives if you are using Mercon V fluid. Fluid level should be checked on level ground at operating temp. If you have limited slip differentials you will need to add a friction modifier before you top off with gear oil. Use recommended oils for each unit and you should be okay.
