Hello im new here.

Im not sure when it was last changed. I just bought 6q of valvoline +4 but I don't have a filter. Where do you suggest I get a trans filter?

Is there anything else I should do while im under there? Any adjustments or things I can tweak or mod?

Thanks
steve

 

anybody?

 

you should be able to order the filter at any auto store, if not then go to the dealer (i dont have the part number) if i had to guess from the year of your truck you have the 4.7l v8, if so than there is nothing you can adjust under there while you do the fluids the trans behind this engine is fully electronically controlled, if you have the 5.9l v8 then you should adjust the transmission bands while you are in there i dont have the specs to do that hydra does and he shouldnt be lond in posting them for you

but please post up which engine you have so that we can give you more reliable information more quickly.


also FYI we dont wait around on here to help people we do this in our free time so patience is a virtue, you will eventually get an answer but it might take a day or two before it shows up, 8 hours would be a very quick return

 

hay thanks man. Im on other sites for my ford f350 and there are more subscribers on there, im gona have to adjust.

Thanks for the help

 

First welcome and please give us time to respond.

I need to know your motor size?


Filter, get that from the dealer or your favorite auto parts dealer.

 

4.7l... its in his sig.

Always change the trans filter when opening it up. I recommend the Mopar version directly from the dealer. It is significantly nicer/stronger/better constructed than the one used at the local transmission shop.

On your 4.7 mated trans, drop the pan, dump the fluid, swap the filter, close it up and refill ATF+4 only. Done. Nothing to adjust because it is all electronically controlled.

Opps.......Just saw it.......LOL


There is 2 filters in that transmission. 1 is a flat and 1 is a screw on like an oil filter.

 

Thanks for the help. When I drop the pan do I get most of the fluid? And where is the spin on filter?

Thanks
steve

 

nvm Im thinkin of a manual. its automatic. So in the entire system there should be arround 11q? but 5-6q should spill out.

And what trans do you guys think I have?

4.7, 4X2, 2002, 4 speed

Thanks
steve

 

You have a 45RFE transmission.

Yes, you should loose about 5-6 quarts only.

Take out all the bolts except about 2 or 3 bolts on one side and slowly drop the pan and the trany fluid will pour out. Once you get it all the way down you can see the filters. Replace both of them. Wipe out the pan and be carefull to wipe off the small magenet that is inside the pan usually found in the bottom kinda on the side. Clean off all the metal fragments off this magenet and put it back in before install.

You could always install a drain pan plug while you have it down to make it a lot easyer next time.

You can get em for like $6 bucks.
