Changed the trans filter since I had to drop the pan so I could replace the gasket and hopefully stop leaking on the driveway.

I haven't had the pan down in a long time, like a 100K miles so I was pretty pleased with the contents of the pan. Some very fine shavings on the magnet but only piece of any subsance at all looked like about a third of a staple.

thanks guys!

little back story on it. both my buddy, and i applied at the same place, on the same day.

he just got home for being honorably discharged from the army. he called the place the next day after returning the app, and got an interview for monday. i called right after, and told me that he was going to look over my app and call me monday(meaning he wasnt interested). called back yesterday and said i was interested in the job, and got an interview for tuesday!

kinda put me in a foul mood when i didnt get an interview right away... i dont like how they automatically pull military status, over the average joe(no offense to any military personnel here)

i have experience with where we applied from a former job, where he has no experience....

just hoping i get the job. its less than 2 miles from my house so i wont be using much gas. i just hope come winter, they will be understanding when it comes to my 2nd job(snow removal)

With all due respect and sincere wishes for the best of luck, that is EXACTLY how it should be. It doesn't guarantee that a veteran will get the job ahead of someone more qualified, it means they are being given a chance. After the Vietnam War, veterans were shunned and if someone dared mention they served in the military, they were automatically disqualified. Our country was really, really f'ed up. I thank God our vets are are now being given some respect. Too many Vietnam vets were driven into the streets and suicide because of what we did to them.

Default Transmission Service

This will be the first trans service the truck has had as far as i know.
Shifts fine.
Just crackin 85,000 miles so i decided it is about time.

So today I will make a new oil stain in the driveway where my 2000 Dakota 4.7 is parked.

WHY CAN'T ENGINEERS PUT A STINKIN' DRAiN PLUG ON A TRANSMISSION PAN?!
