Changed trans filter w/fluid change at 50,000 miles and did a
complete trans flush w/o changing filter at 100,000 miles. It
is time to change again, 150,000. I've been told different things
about the filter. Some say change it every time and some say
just the first time. Should I just flush it again w/o filter change
or do both filter and fluid flush?
Thanks guys,

I talked to 3 transmission shops this morning and 2 said just flush it w/o changing the filter and 1 said just replace the filter and add the 3 qts the pan held. I think I'm going to just flush it. One mech said it would replace about 90% of the fluid on a flush....that's pretty good. If anyone is experienced in this, please let me know.
Thanks,

The technician that performed the service on my B4000 said that the only
reason I had 153,000 miles on that trans is because I kept it serviced. He said he has seen many transmissions just like this one go at less than 100,000. Just thought I would pass it on!!
