Default Transmission Filters and Beer

Hey all, I'm getting ready to change my trans. fluid and was looking into the filters for my '02 1500 with a 5.9. I can't find a large selection of filters to choose from. I was trying to be a royal purple guy with every fluid and filter, but they don't seem to make them. So, what filters are the best?

Now here's my dilemma. I also brew my own beer and want to try brewing a lager this weekend. I only get one day off a week and have kids as well.

So, I will have time to do one or the other. Brew beer or change transmission fluid and filters. I love my truck, but I also love my beer.

What do you all think I should do?

Trans filter change shouldn't take more than an hour of your time.

Make your beer. Your transmission will understand...if it's REALLY your friend.

But when you trans fails because you neglected it, don't blame it on the beer.

Use RP ATF Max trans fluid

Start the transmission, let it drain and start the beer, finish the tranny, finish the beer.

Don't drink too much beer, you'll end up with a tranny.
