Trans service
I'm coming up on the 15k mark and will need the trans serviced. Will the dealership be my best bet for a thorough job, or should I take it to a dedicated tranny shop? I'm more concerned about the quality of the work than the cost.

First, make sure they have or can get the special synthetic tranny fluid called for in the Torque-Shift transmission... any other WILL ruin and void your warrenty.
I would flush the system to get 100 fluid changed... drop the pan and change the internal filter... then change the spin on filter up by the radiator.
Make sure whoever does it has the proper filters and fluid.
p.s. - I thought the tranny service wasn't until 30,000 miles???
Thanks,
Jeff

It's OK to be wrong, to much beer when your busy being a band of merry men happens. You may not immediately get the joke, but look for a current thread of 6.0 injectors and you'll catch on.
All for one and one for all.... oopps, that was the three Musketeers, not Robin Hood????

Well Beach...I hope he reads that thread.
If he doesn't read that thread there is a good chance he won't be back.
Ha, Ha, Ha,...
