Tranny Questions

Just got done going through Tranny Issues thread. It makes me a little worried since my tranny will have been sitting for close to 4 years!

Question: What can I do between now and the time I am ready to put the truck on the road to ensure it will function properly?

I was planning on draining the converter and trans as completely as possible and replacing the filter and refilling with type F. Will that be sufficient?

It was working fine before I parked her.

You're over thinking it. Check the level and fire it up. Put it in gear including reverse and see what it does. Check for leaks.
