You would still have to drop the pan to drain the torque converter - a messy job, the same reason the tranny pan doesn't have a drain plug as the the torque converter - decontenting them reduces cost. Stellantis patent wouldn't require dropping the pan, making fluid flushes simpler and non...

Certainly a more useful idea than some of that *ss wipe sh%t that Ford patents that has been posted on here - like a system to weigh the truck to detect drug smuggling or the steering wheel that converts to a fast food eating tray , I mean I've taken some drugs in my lifetime but nothing...

Being a flush proponent I like it and it likely won't add much cost, kudos to Stellantis for seemingly acknowledging that sealed lifetime fluid just isn't realistic , and I also like one of the bullets, "Actively flushes out debris, reducing contamination risks." When you do multiple drain...

Except in the cases of videos showing how to do something - like auto or home repairs I've remained old school and prefer to read articles , also I admit to have a negative bias towards most anything to do with Boulder, that from having to go there several times a week to meet with my customers...

I'd trust it about as much as I trust reviews from TFL.

Impressive, I won't ask how much you put into it, but better to never run out of juice, especially if you have wife and kids .

that's a lot of solar panels - did you calculate the power requirements from the get go or add solar panels as needed ? I'm currently at 300 w solar panels and 300 ah batteries and will add 1 or 2 more 100w solar panels, mostly sunny days where I camp and don't need to run the AC when...

As a poster mentioned - dealers tend to put undersized lead acid batteries - found that out with my very 1st TT purchase 1.5 yrs back - a small interstate wet lead acid - deep cycle but inadequate. So against the advice of an RV forum replaced the interstate with AGM 850 cca from the Ranger...

CEO Jim Farley preaching to the (Ranger) choir. Maybe he'll be patting that F-150 a bit less in 2025 or maybe switch to kicking it, Ford is predicting another EV loss of $5.5 billion this year, yikes...

When I took a gander under the hood of the wife's turbo roo I was surprised to see a thin diminutive intercooler perched atop the engine, (where at one time the spare tire used to sit) gotta wonder about heat sink on a hot day sitting at a long red light, but the plumping is shorter than a front...

Called my local Ford dealer and they want $370 for a tranny flush. A bit much, too much and I'd only trust a Ford dealer to do a flush. I'd be all over a $260 price, despite predictions that with a flush it's all over for my beloved 10r80 .

FWIW found a "training" video showing a flush on a F-150 with 10r80 , it would seem doing this as a backyard mechanic would be a bit of challenge without a flush machine, it's done with the engine running but I have to assume that is for purposes of moving fluid thru all areas - notably the...

Yeah I've noticed some major price decreases on numerous items made in China , searching shows a wide variance in pricing from companies operating more closely to source compared with US based companies that are buying from China and then taking larger markups.

Well I just went cheap and ordered a Humsienk LiFePO4 100ah from Temu, $113 . They advertise these batteries for 15k and as high as 20k cycles - I'll likely never go past 500

yes - the assumption being that the OP lacks the ability or interest in messing with the tranny but wishes to change the ATF - $260 for a complete flush of the ULV fluid seems like a really good deal , and just arbitrarily ruling out an ATF flush is something I wouldn't do .

yeah you are talking about DIY vs $260 at a dealer where you get virtually 100% new fluid, the newer flush machines use far less pressure and DO NOT backflush, so unless you are dealing with very dirty fluid I'd have zero reservations about getting a flush machine done at the dealer, so many...

The RV I bought was my 1st and it can with an interstate wet cell, I think rated at 64 ah, couldn't even keep the refrig running overnight. I've added 2 solar panels and 2 Lipo , will add more solar and batts as I despise the sound of generators running in campsites.

Flush should be perfectly fine - for yrs now there has been a lot old fud around tranny flushes, as in they back flush and so on, a lot of the fud stems from either older flush machines and/or people whose trannies had high mileage and on their last leg and the flush expedited the tranny's...

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it - Weize is big over in the orient and reportedly high quality. I just saw on Amazon they have a lifepo4 12v 100ah with low temp protection for $169 , I may buy it to add to the 2 lifepo4 I have on the RV.
