The cost of following bad advice

[BearLakeFishGuy]

There is some inherently incorrect statements there. You should change your tranny fluid (and filter, if equipped) by dropping the pan and draining it. NEVER, EVER should you allow a "fast-lube" type shop to "powerflush" or "back flush" your tranny fluid using one of their fancy machines. The back flushing and/or powerflushing does more harm by re-suspending the particles in the filter and/or fluid and forcing the "crap' into the relatively small holes/passages in the transmission. I've never lost a tranny simply because it was "older or had high miles" by changing the fluid like it was meant to be changed by dropping the pan and cleaning it out. Oh, and on my older F250, you have to remember to drain the torque converter too. Both are quite easy to do if you watch a YouTube videos, etc. I'm sorry it happened Kent. Trannys are expensive and if you do some checking on line you can find out all this info I said above.

By the way, I got a new "spider & poles" for that ice tent and its been working perfectly for the boys.
