just use a funnel to put the fluid back in the dipstick hole they make them that fit. It moves faster and you aren't pushing that residue crap from the extraction back into the trans.

I was about to say the same thing, that’s how I always fill the trans.

I watched your first video using a 2x4 and ratchet strap to change transmission fluid and filter. I welded on a stainless nut and made a drain bolt. I drain fluid every 25k and change filter every 50k. Thanks for your videos...

@@damienfauolo6613 sorry, I do not and I have since sold it. So, buy yourself a stainless steel nut and a bolt that won't thread into the nut much beyond the opposite side. So a half inch thick bolt would get a half inch long nut. Remove the pan and use a small bit as a pilot hole. Step the hole up in size until it reaches the new drain nut Dia. Sand the fresh hole to remove debris. Add a little oil to the threat of the bolt and thread it into the nut but not completely. Tack weld the nut in place. Ensure proper fit. Fully weld in place. I never had a drop leak. Also, I never used a gasket for the drain bolt or thread lock tape. Just the bolt only. No torque spec either. Just snug.

I have the same pump but I went to HD and bought a 10 foot section of 3/8 clear tube and attached that perfectly to the top (suction) part and it worked perfectly. I then used the same tube to drain the power steering fluid and then attached that same clear tube to the return line to the PS reservoir and then put the front end up on jack stands and turned the wheels lock to lock and flushed the PS fluid and kept the reservoir full until I could see the new fluid coming out then it was complete.

Thank you, very helpful, less mess.

Super rad video again.. thanx for the tip broski 😎

Awesome video dude . Thank you!

Great Video Bud! 😎👍

Love your utube, thanks.

😮😮😮 I must try this and I am a woman,,, and don’t want to pay 375 for a flush!! Thanks for your video! I will try it out and let you know results 😊 wish me luck!

What a great idea, thanks

I wonder if that would work to pull the coolant out and change as well??

Every how often have you been changing?

I can imagine if you take out the old fluid from the top and then drop the pan its less messy ? maybe ?

use a funnel to put it in

I was thinking the same thing why would you waste all that time to pump it in

What's the pump called I just got a 17 silverado and it's over full

What about the oil in the torque converter?

man, I tried to do what you showed but the thin black hose just wouldn't pick up much and I ended up dropping the pan. Good news is, the pan drop was much simpler than I expected... just super messy.

Dustin, have you changed the filter yet? Great idea! Any problems after changing? I got my tahoe at 80k miles and its coming up on 195k and i havent changed it yet.

I believe the service interval for these trans are about 50,000 so if it’s never been changed with almost 200k then might as well leave it.

Hey bud great videos.. i just purchased a 2014 with 110k going to do the trans, filter, transfer.case and rear fluids. Is it worth changing the thermostat for the trans to the 165 degree one? I tow a travel trailer often that is 7000 lbs.

@@Mattsharona all the more reason not to take it to a dealership. What’s their prices now $150.00 to $200.00 bucks. What ever that book says if it’s one hour or two. Then figure your “20” quarts at how much a quart,,, I’ll stick with Dustin’s way and save all that money.

Dustin, wondering if you still check this. I have the same vehicle and just turned 60K miles. Yes, I don't drive it that often. :) I was wondering if you ever tested how much transmission fluid you could remove from the dipstick tube. Your video pulls only a relatively small amount but you said you thought you could get more. I'm contemplating this given I'm still not ready to do a full change due to low mileage. Thanks in advance.

Thanks buddy I'll probably do this to my 15 lt with 64k miles, trans fluid looks dark as hell

So would using the pump be a good way to get most of the fluid out of the pan so you don't make a mess when you pull that pan? I'm assuming the dip stick is similar to how an oil pan dipstick is and this actually goes down and into the pan? I think I'm going to tackle the transmission flush this weekend and would like to do all that I can to keep this as clean as possible.

Dustin, you did your transmission oil change in May 2019 and in need of another one. I’m at 89,000 and fixin’ to do mine. After this oil change, how often would you change it? I’m not towing but we do load up the bed with gear. Also, do you experience a bumpy shift? I think it’s the shift between the truck’s V-4 & V-6 features. What say ye? Btw, I’ve got a 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4.

Hi buddy, just wanted to chip in. I have a 2014 GMC Sierra Single Cab 5.3 . I have a bumpy shift from first to second gear and the downshift from second gear to first gear is even bumpier. It has probably been 100,000 kms since my last transmission fluid change (car was handed down to me). Stay safe on the road!

@luissantana5404

It won't get all the oil out. Not even a drain and fill. You would need a flush. Avoid flushing transmission if it's more than 60k miles old because of metal shavings and gunk getting stuck on other parts of transmission while getting flushed. A Drain and fill is the solution as you're replacing old dirty atf with clean atf fresh lubrication free of metal shaving. You would need to repeat the drain and fill process 3 times so you can get all the old atf fluid out

If you don't use a slow flush on that you leave all that excess fluid this bad in the torque converter you wasting your money

@rwb0101

Wrong. You can remove fluid 3-4 times over a period of several minutes after driving. This will ensure the dirty stuff in the torque converter and elsewhere will mix with the fresh and eventually (quickly) the tranny will have clean fluid through and through. If changing the filter, I'd do the multiple fluid changes first til it was all clean followed by changing the filter with the last fluid swap. As good as a flush without the inherent risks.
