Jacking help for tranny fluid change
Hi guys;
I am about to take on the task of changing my ATF and filter. 94 F250 460 E4OD.
My question is do I use two stands up front, or four stands at the corners. How important is it that the truck is level? I just want to be safe.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Frank

why do you need to jack it up? its a 250 so you should be able to slide under it with no problem at stock height. only time i jack mine up is when it deals with anything touching the tires

You guys must be skinnier than me. Just makes it easier to move around. That does bring the question, what do you drain it into?
My oil change rig holds about 10 quarts. We are talking nearly 4.5 gallons with the TC.
Thanks for the input, but I still think I will raise it up.

All that fluid isn't going to come out all at once. I drain the torque converter first, then empty my black plastic catch pan. Then I do the trans pan. My latest pan is a cheap one made in Oklahoma, the company name starts with a "B", they make all the red plastic gas cans that Home Depot sells. I got it at O'reilly, or maybe it was Autozone.
