Trans Flush

I am thinking about a Flush and Fill of my Auto Trans on my
'99 SDCCV10 w/Superchip. The local Trany shop is discouraging me from doing this because I have not done it before now (105K miles).

I know I was neglegent for not doing it earlier but I can't quite believe that it isn't a good thing to do now anyway? As of now I have had NO problems with the Truck in any way.

I will be increasing my towing weight to about 10K+ and some increase in frequency. I am considering adding a Tranny temp gauge and maybe a bigger pan to the tranyas well.

Does anyone have any thoughts or recomendations for me to consider?

Check out this thread on fluid changes . Once you read this thread and decide to get your fluid changed, I'd suggest going to a different tranny shop.

Thanks Broncoholic. That was my answer to the shop too, but the good advise I have read here as a newbie has been great. So I thought I would atleast ask.

Is there a comment or thread on use of synthetics in the trany(which I really don't know anything about)? Without any mention of these in the thread that I have just read I wonder if it's worth the money or if miles is any issue with use of synthetic.

Also I mentioned that I am a newbie here .....
BUT I AM GLAD TO BE HERE......
Looks like good people and honest answers

If you have the money for synthetics, I feel they are a good addition anywhere in you vehicle: motor, trans, diffs, etc.
