Hi Everyone, I am planning on doing the pan drop fluid+filter change on my 22 2500 and there is very little on Youtube/elsewhere on info about it. I've done this before on other trucks, but I always like to be 100% on transmissions as they can be fussy. Explain to me like I am 5 as I am basically trying to find the easiest way to do this without a lift.
1. I see you can add fluid on the drivers side fill port, any reason I can't just add the 6 quarts back into the clean pan and bolt it back up? Yeah it's harder, but far easier to measure and it will be exactly as it was before.
2. Best place to get the filter and gasket? (I know Amazon and rock auto are good options)
3. Do I need to have the truck running and the transmission at operating temp for the pan drop change? See question 1.
Thanks for your help!
