Fluid change?
I am going to do a service on my 01 with the 4.6 in it soon im not sure on the tranny, so my question is what kind of antifreeze and transmission fluid would you guys recomend, i put peak 50/50 in it a couple years ago when i flushed the radiator and havent done a tranny flush yet?? thanks for any advice.

I use Valvoline Mercon V. Around here O'Reilys had the best price. You'll need a whole case if you drain the torque converter. An 01 should have the TC drain plug. The gasket on the trans pan is reusable, you don't need to replace it unless it is damaged.
Put 9 quarts in the trans, start the motor and shift through the gears to fill the TC and valve body, shut it off and add the last few bottles. If you skip this step the trans will overfill and you'll be wondering how trans fluid can make this big of a mess. Don't ask how I know this.
