Selection...What Fluid Type???
I've been running Amsoil ATF in my truck for the past 30,000 miles no problems at all. Actually noticed no difference from stock. But now I'm towing a trailer. Is the universal, multi-purpose fluids like this good to go, or would you switch back to a true, straight MERCON V (or MERCON or what ever my truck takes...you know what I mean )

I think Steve misunderstood my question completely, but yes, most of the "universal" fluids (like Amsoil ATF) claim to exceed the specs of what ever the manual calls for. I've been using it this long with no problems, but never with any real abuse on the tranny like now. Kinda why I asked my question.

Well, if Amsoil is as good as everyone thinks it is, I don't know why you would need to change to a "straight" Mercon V or whatever.
If it was that important, the Mercon V should have always been in their anyways, right ?
How many miles are on your beast and how often do you change your tranny fluid ? Just curious - I just passed 66,000 and realized that I am overdue (I like to change mine every 30K or so, even though it always looks fine when I have changed it, in all 3 trucks...)
BTW - Nice truck !! I've "known" you for several years, but today is the first time I've looked in your gallery.... I miss my '01 Supercrew......
