Hi,

I have NOT tow anything with my truck..its my daily driver soo my truck has just passed 40K mark milages....Should I change the tranny fluid and filter?

The reason why i m asking cuz i was told i dont need to change tranny fluid since i havent tow yet and do the change at 60K .

Thanks!

You can do it now if you want to, but it's not necessary until 60K. Just make sure to get the total flush which gets the converter and make sure it gets a new filter.
