Just had my tranny flushed last week with LV. It is shifting better than ever. I am able to get parts at cost and paid 3.97/qt for the LV fluid, $22 bucks for the filter, and a heated flush by my diesel tech buddy at the dealer for a whopping total of $110. It doesn't smell as bad as the SP. Anyone else notice that?

Checked with the "deal"erships in my area and only one offers hot flush and the cost is $375.00 that includes a new screen and external filter.

The price is legit..I checked it out
12 qts 47.52;
Shipping 31.75;
A $3.00 Special Order Fee Applies to Orders Under $50.00. Total 82.27 Comes to 6.85 per Qt. Not such a good deal..

Well, I'm realy confused. Called 3 Ford dealers today and didn't get a staight answer from none of them. Can you use LV in a 2003 F-250 6.0? Can you just drain the pan and add 8 quarts of LV with the SP thats left in there?

At the time (last month) I was told at the Ford dealer where I get supplies from that the SP and LV could be mixed. They even printed out a service bulletin showing you could top off the SP with LV. I went and put 8 quarts of LV in with my SP after draining the pan. So far 1,000 miles and no change in shifting.

This is what I did shortly after Xmas, drained the pan and added 8 qt. of LV. Also I changed the inline filter, now every other motor oil change I will replace 8 qt. and a new filter. I will also send a sample to Blackstones for an analysis the 1st. time. The Ford dealer printed out a service bulletin stating the 2 fluids could be mixed in our transmissions.
