Here is how I recommend changing the fluid: E4OD FLuid Exchange
If you are only going to drain the pan and refill I recommend doing it many, many times. At least five drain and fills should do it, at about 6-8 quarts each time.

I can pull the lines, filter, and pan and re fill. I figured i would change the fluid tonight drive her about 100 miles and then change it the second time. But i might have to wait a few weeks to do a 3rd flush on it since Mercon V is not cheap and i am still working on other area's of the truck. Do you feel like this is a safe way to go.

If you're going to all that trouble why are you leaving half of the fluid in the torque converter? Why not drain that, too?
If it were MY truck I would use THIS PROCEDURE one time and I'd be done. I would not do it a second time.

I'm very confused on what you plan to do. First you're going to pull the lines, filter, and pan. Then you say your going to flush. I'm confused.
