Finally posting a "build" thread. The progression of my stupidity.

Black vinyl rapped the two rear windows.
Took her to the desert for Thanksgiving, it snowed...
Changed the front+rear diff fluids, trans+transfer case fluids.
Another oil change.
Disconnected the Rad trans cooler and ran the external trans cooler by itself.

Glad to see that you were keeping 'hydrated' during the snow storm.

You dropping the pan for trans fluid changes, or pumping it out through the cooler line?

Is there an ELI5 for this procedure? I want to drain and refill without dropping my AT pan.

Haha yeah, hydration is important! That was actually just for the pic. I emptied that bottle before setting up my bed in the back the night before.

I dropped the pan on the first two after I burned the fluid which is why I did a change and drove it like A thousand Miles and then get another change.

That being said, whenever I finally get around to relocating my trans cooler and probably running AN lines for everything, I'll do another fluid change but try and pump it all out that way I know all of it is fresh.

[Denali Brad]

Hauled a Bicycle up to Santa Barbara to hang with a friend.
Put in a Pioneer 8500NEX + front and rear cameras.
Added a Optima Yellow Top battery as a secondary.
Took her down some firer roads with a buddy.
Found out the Driver's side engine mount was trashed.
Put some Ray Bestos R3oo rotors and Police pads on it and a new motor mount.
Took her to my buddies in-laws in Havasu.
Launched the boat a few times...parked it among it's family.
Pulled his boat home.



It's coming, I'm on the clock now. It'll have to wait. :'(

How'd you do the Yellow Top secondary? Parallel or isolated?

I had to search that term to find out what it meant LOL.

I have seen it written up on numerous forums over the years and I’m sure it’s on yew tube. It’s not difficult: disconnect the cooling line at the radiator and then idle until it spits a little air; shut off. Refill the transmission and repeat until you see fresh fluid draining rather than old. Reconnect the line and then top off to the correct level.

Uh, what?

Ghetto isolated parallel.
Grabbed those threaded disconnect Terminals from the auto parts store.
1 on each battery so I can use them each alone if I want.
