Maintance day tomorrow
Doing Trans flush, front brakes, shocks, oil change. That's the plan anyway.
Friend Kevin "Martin72" is driving down to help.
Hope all goes good with the flush. I have never done it since owning 2 yrs. truck seems to have been well maintained. 207,??? On odometer.
Can't wait to loose the warped rotors!
Wallet is a whole lot lighter now. LOL Bought bigger TT so it's time to get her up to par.

Everything went good. Brakes first, clean up takes most of the time.
2nd was Monroe gas/magnum on all corners.
Easier with rotors off for the front btw!
3rd was Trans flush per write up link here. Drained pan then pulled. Be ready for small fluid spash coming down on ya win ya pull filter out.
Thankfully I put tarp under truck. Tip from Jeff. Looked at magnet and it had plenty of fuzz on it. Then the big GULP! Pretty big chunks of Metal pieces.
6-10 of them big enough to ping win dropped in the pan. They where at the base of magnet. Hoping it has been there a LONG time.
Flush and replaced with Valvoline MercronV. Easy procedure.
Major tip is to realize that once the last 6 quarts go in you should be flushed.
I started truck again for 30 secs or so. Over flushed by 2.5 qts
But like Kevin said, atleast we know ALL the old is out!
Hopeful the Trans has atleast 40.000 miles left in it to reach 250.000 miles.
