the external plug really helps now
i drooped the pan and installed a external plug into it, now all i have to do is every 30,000 change the fluid.
what i did is drooped the pan , cleaned the inside of it cleaned off magnet and drilled a 1/2 hole into the pan. put a drain plug into it. put it all back together. added the same amount of new fluid back to the tranny as i recoverd. (which was only 4 qts.) now i run it for about 30 minutes and drain it through the new drain plug. added 4 more qts to it, later on this week drain add 4 more to it, till i have run 14 qts threw it, then i'm done. to me it's easier than doing the cooler lines.
if you need pics of the drain plug installed ask.

OMG! That's a lot of work! You could drain the pan, drop it, clean it, install new filter, re-install pan and drain plug, then pull the rubber plug on the bottom of the bell housing. While underneath the truck, put a socket wrench on the crank and turn it until the torque converter rotates around where you see a 12 or 13mm bolt head though the bell housing hole. Loosen the bolt a bit, slide a drain pain underneath, pull the plug and drain out 9 qts of ATF. Once it's drained, re-install in the reverse order. Install new ATF (~13qts in your case. ~16 in my case). Done deal.

Good idea, except that Ford stopped putting a drain plug in the torque converter early in the 2002 model year. Now what?
