Tranny Filter

[Robert J Spence]

I have 2200 miles om my 2003 2500hd and love it!
I understand alot of you change your tranny filters early on and I would like to also. The question is this, can I just change the filter without a whole bunch of oil pouring out before I get a new one on? or should I take it to the dealer for this one?
Thanks

Aside from what is in the filter, none comes out. I changed mine at 5000, did the hot check and didn't need to add any fluid. Don't forget the magnetic ring on the filter.

Unscrew the little red or orange filter and replace the new one :D It is not hard to do. You will have very little mess...er... if you do it cold.--Hint: Fill up "new" filter with Dex-III before installing ;)

I measured 11ozs of fluid in filter. Added 16ozs assuming some left in filter element. No problem.

The best I could do here in this part of Canada was $2000 Cnd. over dealer cost.
