no we dont have a tranny im trying to give away nor do i want tranny pics posted....how much fluid is in our trans....and whats the consensus on the BG clean i may have a DEAL on getting it flushed and "overhauled" new filters seals and i dunno what else....the BG offers a $1000 warranty on there system clean and flush if its done at a reputable place and a buddy works there so him and i are looking into the deal....but i may have to supply my own fluid atf-4 mopar fluid to keep costs down.....opinions please i know they are like a$$holes everyones got em....

 

When I did mine and flushed the whole system I used a case, 12 quarts. I think it holds 7 or 8 quarts, but you need another 4-5 to flush.

That is making an assumption that ours hold the same amount......

 

545rfe is what i have....stock pan...so were talkin about 13 qts...also if i have to supply the fluid...depending if its cheaper where do i get it...

 

I bought mine at oriellys. I bought their brand of atf-4 because it was only 6 dollars a quart instead of 11 or 12 for some of the high end stuff. call me cheap, but it is still synthetic!

 

i was looking for the "mopar" stuff...and just so some of you guys know check out the protection plan bg offers for for using there stuff....

 

what the hell is BG? got a linkey for us lazeys..? i had mine flushed when i got it and havent had any problems yet... some guys say not to flush it with close to 100K (mine had 80K) but IMO if its done right, there should be no loose stuff in there to plug up the tranny...
i think the 4x4's have bigger pans, thus more fluid...

my manual says 14-16 liters (about 15 to 17 quarts) for an overhaul and 5.2 liters (about 6 quarts) for a service...

jay- i have a pdf '04 manual that i could send to you if you need one

 

is it for a 4.7l also...if so you can email it to me jusjay727@yahoo ....thanks

i'm trying to send it now... its a bigass file. it covers all motors, trannies, etc..

 

When I did my full trans flush I did 17 qrts

 

yup, like weed said, its 17qts. unless you have a huge cooler, then it might be a tad more. but a flush, and filter change would be awesome. it will get you all new fluid in there, and wont possibly clog up the filters like just a flush would do. and im assuming the new seals would be the filter seal for the sump filter, and the pan seal. you could do the same thing yourself fairly easy though. just drop your pan and change the filters, replace the pan. fill it back up with 6-8qts. then disconnect the send line to the cooler, start the engine and let it pump a quart out, shut it off and fill with a fresh quart, then its just lather, rinse, repeat until you use all 17qts. you could get the filter kit from napa or rockauto for like $40-50, and it comes with a pan gasket, a sump filter seal, and both filters. then get yourself 17qts of wtv fluid you want (i used RP once, and most recently valvolene atf+4)

as for the BG stuff, i honestly dont know a lot about it. i would assume its not much different from any fully synthetic atf+4. their warranty does sound pretty sweet though, as long as you dont mind paying a shop to do the work (which i do mind)
