oh yea, that went well
so i changed my tranny fluid today, as you can see it went pretty smooth(if the pict did not show up check my gallery). i followed the procedure in the tech articles on how to change the fluid on a superduty trans. pull off the rear cooler line, connect a hose to that..... blah blah blah. the one thing that it dose not say is you might want to block off the hole in the tranny where that cooler line came out off.so after my first cycle of running the engine i had the pool of fluid you see on the right 
i was so ticked off that had happened i wasn't paying attention to what i was doing and stepped back righ onto the side of my drain pan and spilled that all over the place .i have been working on cars and trucks for over 20 years and this has got to be the biggest cluster (insert swear word here) i have ever done. i was like the three stooges all in one

I was hauling a transfer case to a buddy a couple of days ago and a quart or so of that tranny fluid leaked into the bed of my pickup. Stupid slip yoke. Don't feel too bad. The floor of my dad's shop usually has a large oil spill or two on it.

Its a proven fact that transmission fluid will cover more square footage per teaspoon then any other fluid will cover per gallon.
I hate the stuff
so all I have are stickshifts
wait, gear oil stinks longer than any fluid known to man.
