Trans Fill?
Anyone have a better method of pouring 13 quarts in the transmission? The dinky dipstick tube has traditionally been my way, surely there's a better way?

The only other way is to take the trans out of the truck, remove the converter and pump, and pour it in there. There are no other openings in the transmission to add the fluid.
Don't pour all 13 quarts in at once. Add 8 quarts then run the engine for one minute. Not two minutes. Shut it off and add four more, then start the engine and warm up the trans. Use the last quart to set the correct level.
