If you have a 10 speed it has 2 magnets in there. Before dropping the 10 speed pan I started the engine & let 3 qts drain, turned off engine then dropped the pan. The pan drops easily once you disconnect (1 bolt) the trans cooling lines from the side of the transmission.
My neighbor paid $800 to get his 2018 Silverado transmission fluid & filter replaced.
Oof, way too high. I got the juice and filter, just waiting on a fluid pump. You took 90min and I saw another on here take 12 hours; hopefully I can get it done closer to your time...
The only sketchy part is disconnecting then reconnecting the transmission return line. I use a small pick with a curved end to partial remove the "don't lose me" clip then grab it with a needle nose. There may be a tool that slips over the return line that slides in to release the clip. None of mine fit.
You can suck the pan dry through the dipstick tube with one of these. Save yourself the mess. This thing kicks azs.
No dipstick or tube on the 10 speed or this would be a hell of a lot easier. You also need fluid in a very specific temp range when you check the fill - and I dont see a temp option on my DIC like with the 6 speed. It appears the previous owner had it done at some fast lube place a couple years ago which worries me the most. Going to do the difs and transfer case today, and see how the connections look on the tranny...
Wish these transmissions had a dipstick tube.
