254,000 miles folks.

I commend Mark Kovalsky and his colleagues for making a fine machine.

Curious why this one doesn't have anything connected to it...

Success!

However my problem was intermittent.

I should know by end of Monday if this issue is fixed.

Well, I completed a very typical workday yesterday and the transmission was fine all day. 160 miles to Orlando and back with a couple of job stops in Orlando. Perfect shifting.

Hope everyone enjoyed this journey with me :-)

Glad it went well!
I'm getting ready to flush my system for the first time after seeing this thread I figured Id upgrade the pan and fitter...even stopped at the dealer to day and ordered the new pan.
Now that I'm looking at filters and gaskets on line, I don't think its going to work.
Looks like my pan is a completely different shape than the upgrade one with a real filter!

Jimandnena and wiskey

Two full workdays- typical driving: about 350miles, some city some highway, multiple customer location stops...

Transmissions performs perfectly.

And that's why you have to change the pan at the same time you upgrade the filter, The new filter won't fit in the older pan.

I asked Mark via PM how many quarts total in the transmission and he said it's about 18.

Now I can't stop thinking about the fact that my 10qts of fresh, new, expensive fluid is being contaminated by the other 8qts of filthy old 254,000-mile fluid....

Reminds me of Luke 5:37: New wine in old wine skins...

Unless you have a heated flush machine there isn't much you can do about that.

Luke analogy is good!

As far as the pan, the one i ordered that was shown in the upgrade video, is a completely different foot print. I noticed it when i was looking for gaskets.

The one on my van is almost square.
The one I ordered per that vid, covers more real estate, it has a portion the projects out from the edge and isn't square.
I even found one on line that cross references it as being applicable, but its outline is not the same at all.
Amazon says there is a real filter for my van, but i don't trust their fitment applications.

I am now considering assembling a simple B&M type cartridge type external filter.
