yeah, just drop the pan, change the filter, and disconnect the return tranny line and place line coming from cooler in a milk jug, then mark the jug for each quart, and from there start the truck and when one quart is in your jug have someone put a quart in, do this until the transmission capacity has been estabilished.

Will this method flush the torque converter also? I'm pretty ignorant concerning the workings of auto trannies.
