Tranny service questions
2005 1500 5.7 130,000 miles, 4wd
thinking of dropping the pan and doing fluid and filter. My questions:
1. Looks like there are two filers, should both be replaced?
2. Should both filters be replaced every time i do fluid dump?
3. I see dorman offers a tranny pan with drain plug, if filters must be done every fluid change is there really any advantage to having a drain plug? If filters can be done every other change than i see value.
4. Is there a good reusable rubber gasket for my application?

edit. I did read on another forum that a couple of guys only change the filters every other drain and fill.

2. Yes.
3. F@ck yes there is, makes it helluva lot easier to drain then remove vs undoing bolts and letting it sag to dump the fluid. ALOT less mess.
4. More than likely, however OEM from the factory is actually sealant, like permatex or similar.
Both my Superchips tuner and the Aeroforce Interceptor gauge I have mounted will read the trans temp PID.
