I assume the speedometer would read slower with a larger tire. Not sure how to recalibrate.

There are about 3 ways I believe, Forscan, in the menus on the truck I think and with an OBDII device. I did it via OBDII with my tuner.

I went up one size taller on my 2019 and was 3 mph slow at 70 mph ( so 70 on the speedometer was actually 67).

Today was the big day. Got the stuff to suck out 6 qts of transmission fluid and add Lubeguard. Strange enough, I was only able to get out 4.5 quarts. The hose that came with the pump was maxed out rofl. In the future I will get a longer hose.

That's about right for overnight. I get 5 qts out overnight, if I let it sit 2-3 days I get 7.5 qts.Today was the big day. Got the stuff to suck out 6 qts of transmission fluid and add Lubeguard. Strange enough, I was only able to get out 4.5 quarts. The hose that came with the pump was maxed out rofl. In the future I will get a longer hose.
To get a 95%+ refresh of clean fluid takes 3 cycles at 7.5 qts.
I used the original hose that came with the pump, but did cut the tip to be diagonal, makes it easier to get into the pan. Mine was plenty long enough with the pump sitting on the engine cover. I did find that if I pushed it too far in it tended to curl up and not get all the fluid out.
I typically drive it a week and change it again. then a 3rd time. Then I don't touch it again until the next go round. With the transmission fluid temps as high as they are you really need to change the fluid at least every 30K miles. Sooner if you start noticing the transmission acting up.
The MBS dispstick makes is easy.

The hose that came with my pump was also more than long enough. Also cut it on an angle. I also measured it against the length of the didstick & marked it so I knew how much was inserted.

I did cut the tip at an angle. Otherwise inserting it was impossible. Glad to hear the amount I got out was expected.
I will probably do another fluid swap in a month or two just to get to close to 50% new. No issues with the trans shifting. More preventative.

I agree 100% about the lack of a dipstick being asinine. But, I think that where they placed the damn Oil Filter is even Worse. Most Rediculous thing I have ever seen on a vehicle. IMHO.

I don't get the hate for the oil filter location - have you ever changed it? It is really not bad at all - much better than many cars I've changed oil on. It is actually very accessible, IMO.I agree 100% about the lack of a dipstick being asinine. But, I think that where they placed the damn Oil Filter is even Worse.

Especially with a relatively minor alteration to the fasteners. Makes filter changes a complete non-issue.
The location on the 3.5 is worlds worse. You have to wiggle your hand up from the bottom between a nest of coolant pipes...you can't even see it from the top.
