Transmission Flush
Got almost 40,000 miles on the truck and ill be hauling a trailer across the country in 50 days so i called the dealer and they charge $165 for a transmission flush (not just a pan drain) "complete fluid exchange including torque converter" is what the service guy said.
Is this an alright price?
What fluid should they be using?
2006 Ford F-150 4.6L 4x4
Anything i need to watch out for?

Never ever flush without changing the filter, you will do more harm than good. Most shops do not change the filter when they flush, make sure they do!
But really, you shouldn't need to do anything at all at 40K.

Just to be clear, flush before dropping the pan and changing the filter, not after. Flushing tends to cause things to accumulate on the filter, which can restrict flow and lead to failure.

All the other Mercon fluids are also not compatible with these transmissions and can't be mixed with the Mercon V. It doesn't matter what brand you use, just make sure the right stuff goes back in.
