Ford says to do mine every 30K. Pricey, too. I'm going to see what the shop that is working on my truck now would charge me.

Steve if the bell housing has a rubber plug in the bottom just pop it out & roll the torque over by hand to find the drain plug, you can drain just the torque that way..

Then do the pan & filter too......

Hey Gerry, what do you recommend for my C-6? I'm thinking the pan should come off since I think it needs a new gasket anyway.

I'm curious to know Pat, I do a lot of fluid changes up here for customers but I know my prices are lower.......

Hmmm, let's see...none of us could see the overhead (crappy projector with a bulb about to burn out), and a 99 cent speaker phone in the training room made hearing the instructor nearly impossible... other than that, not too bad.

Actually the second part of the class after lunch went well, we ran through a hands on example. And this time we all connected to the net meeting from our desks. Much better with my headset and two flat screen monitors!

You sound like my boss Gerry.

I think I learned something... But, now that I've said that, I fully expect to get reassigned to a completely different project and will never actually use the software.

They say us Gen-X people are very cynical... I think I agree with that.
