I need to know the procedure for checking the ATF level in the truck. I dont remember from the one I installed on my 01L.

Thanks,
Bob

 

I started car, let warm up, slowly went through each gear then checked level. took it for a spin and check level, 2 days later check again. only had to add a little after the 1st check.

 

Do you check it with the engine off or running in park or netrual?

Thanks,
Bob

HELP

I believe you're supposed to check it with the engine on, in park, on a flat surface.

 

Its in and shifting great. It took 7 full quarts of fluid with the deep pan BTW.

I want to do this mod sometime this summer so I have a question for you or anyone else that would like to answer.

I have about 600 miles on my truck. Will probably have like 1,500 to 2,000 when I do this mod. My question is do you have to flush all the current fluid in the transmission including the torque converter since its oil from the factory or do you simple install the FTVB and add (What brand fluid?) to the existing fluid now in the transmission?

The truck is stock.

Thanks for the information…

 

once the pan comes off, you let all the fluid that will come out do so. (Don't need to flush.) After VB is installed, fill back up with Mercon V, available at the dealer, and check levels for the next week or so, as the VB will fill with fluid over time and use, and may require you to add some.

 

just go to ford and get the fluid that they put in
no need to flush just add what you took out, and have fun

 

Thanks for the quick responses. Now I know what needs to be done…

 

DO NOT USE MERCON V

MERCON ONLY!!!!!

He's right. It must be late, cause I got the bass ackwards!:o

 

No problem, I knew it was Mercon only...
