Important info on that trans filter, that thing can be hard to get off. It gets pretty stuck on there over time and the bracket is flimsy. If you try to gently remove it the bracket bends. If compressed air is available, an impact wrench is the best way to get it off, other options are to use a tie strap to help support it while breaking the filter loose or pull the whole assembly off the truck and chuck it up in a vise.
Good point Eric , it has to be a 6 point 22 mil socket on a impact
I can get a good deal on the Cat ELC pre-mix for later on, so I'm going to replace the current whatever-it-is with the Cat concentrate and distilled water.
DH drives a logging truck and his company buys the Cat premix in bulk. We can get it at their cost, but that really doesn't help for the initial change-over.
I called the local dealer and they only stock the premix, but a bigger city north of us carries the concentrate. Local guy said they could have it shipped here but it would cost an extra $12.50 per gallon! My neighbour works up there so he's picking it up for me today.
Total cooling system capacity including the degas bottle is 27.5 qts. If you drain the radiator by the lower hose or the draincock you'll remove 1/2 the system capacity--about 14 qts. Therefore it takes 14 qts of 100% coolant added back to the system to get a 50/50 mix if you do a complete flush and fill.
