17th Transmission Flush
Finished our seventeenth always funny and GENIUS Mark K transmission flush procedure. We splurged and bought a new hose and clamp after 22 years. They very proud of that Mercon V these days!

"they " being the producers of Mercon V.. and yeah it all cost money but hay no car payment.. 
I find it at walmart which is a Mercon V for a lot less than ford mercon v, which is not made by ford waytheby.. I find doing a drain and refill every 35-40K works just as well.. we full time RV so of the 35K mile we did in 2023 12K or so was towing 8300 lb airstream.
PS have to wonder WHY are folks not doing this them selfs.. save the 200 buck for beer or something else..

Got the NAPA Mercon V for $4.91 a quart. Always get 24 and waste a little completing the forth run. The old stuff looks really good on board fencing. Gives it that Cedar V finish!
