C4 fluid capacity
How much should I put in, before starting the truck? Convertor has maybe a quart in it yet, we drained as much out as we could before putting it in. Has a shallow pan, how much fluid to totally fill it?

I pour it in till I see it just above the full mark, don't worry it will drop once it is running.
I then start it looking for leaks and check it again.
I then fill it to the safe level, put it in gear both forward and reverse. I like to have the tires off the ground so the wheels spin and run it thru the forward gears.
I then check it again and top off before taking it for a spin.

Yep you want the fluid to work thru out the trany.
Once you have the level safe you and before dropping it on th e wheels may want to run it tjru the gears giving it gas and check level again.
