Transmission - Lubeguard

[woodworker]

With one size bigger, mine was off, I can't remember how much maybe 2MPH. Can't remember if it read high or low either. Might want to consider it. I am guessing you could be around 5MPH or so off.

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.

Also the fluid level on the MBS dipstick was at 3 before I started. Truck was parked overnight and fluid was sucked out cold.

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.

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.

Is that “pulp” or “no pulp” Larry?

Yes. Depends on what the have.

Forgot to mention they make it specificly sized to fit in that location. Anti spill.

With a pop-top lid and easy-pour spout to boot. Nice!
