so iv read.
however i sure have no problem finding it still.
so perhaps there was enough demand for it,and that info iv read back along is obsolete now.
these were all old posts that various people where claiming it was going to be discontinued.so i dunno man.
here is just one example:
click the link in the last post there to take you to the 2006 TSB.

Changing ATF Fluid in a E4OD and 4R100 transmission .: Articles
that shows you how.until you see air.
oh yeah thats right.
did ya add an external cooler yet or?
you plugged your trans sensor into the side test port right? watch your gauge and try to keep her at 175 degree's there.
an external cooler and possibly with an electric fan may be required.
try to keep it below 200 degrees.pull right over if you need to and let her cool.add a cooler/fan where required to try and maintain 175 degrees is ideal.
if you can do that,then you wont have to flush the fluid until 30k miles.though since you tow such heavy loads with a trailer,its probably best you do stick with the 15k flush intervals anyway.
but even then,making sure at all costs,you keep the fluid at the pan under 200 degrees is important.
i have wonderful results using this one;
Automatic Transmission SuperCooler rated at 13,000 BTU 11"x7-1/2"x3/4"

yeah.well by the time it already looks bad,your too late.
we change the oil in engines before that appears bad.same thing.
since you didn't have a temp gauge on it,you'll want to flush it now at 15k severe flush interval.but i wouldn't worry about it for a few more miles or anything no.
call your local DOT office and ask about burning red atf.filter it,and run it 50/50 with diesel.

When I get a centrifuge, I plan on running an 80% UMO/UATF and 20% gasoline. I have heard people get good results with that combination. The cost of a centrifuge is steep but given time, it can be offset and paid for if you filter your own oil for fuel.
