Do I need a new filter and fluid if I do it myself?

Thanks for your expert opinion ...

Cliff, I would change the filter and fluid at the same time. While your in there, there is no reason not to. You can handle it. Glad I could help you out. -Mat-

DING DING DING --- We HAVE a WINNER !!!!

Thanks to you, I asked them to check the fuse and it was indeed blown.
Only cost $102 for a 2.47 item ... They dropped the pan to check everything.

Back in Business !!!

Glad it was only that. You better check your wiring underneath because there is a good chance something is touching and you will be experiencing this again. -Mat-

We get trucks that have been to the dealer for no light or brake control, that the dealer can't fix. They have a blown fuse most of the time.
