Trans oil change

In your opinion, if I was going to take my truck into the dealer for a trans service, should I take my Edge and AFE stage 2 off ? I could do it myself, but I don't have anywhere level to park. (actually I do, buy my neighbor gets pissy when I do oil changes on his driveway.....)

Take the forbidden equipment off the truck and remove the battery ground wire off for a few minutes.....take truck to neighbors driveway and dump 3 gallons of tranny fluid and 1 gallon of engine oil on driveway. Top off fluids and take it to your dealer to have them preform the 10000 mile check on truck.

I'm curious as to why would drain the oil in your neighbors driveway and not the storm sewer along the street......

Yea, remove the Edge before you arrive at the dealer.

When I took mine in for the 30K transmission service I left my Banks tuner in. Before I went in with the truck I asked some questions first though. They told me they didn't give a %*^& what I put on the truck as it was mine and they wouldn't tell anyone. So I took it into them and have never had a problem. Got it done a lot cheaper than most have reported here too.

Can't put it down the storm drain! That would be rude.......
As far as the neighbor is concerned......do you ask first, then change it in his driveway when he's not lookin? Or change in his driveway and blame the neighbor on the other side?
The way I figure, its his own dam fault for having a flat level driveway.........

As far as the Edge is concerned, I guess I'll take it out......not that its hard, I'm just lazy..........
