Using Amazon Transfer Pump for Transmission Fluid Service on Chevrolet Silverado
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- I had performed a transmission service (replace transmission fluid filter and fluid in the transmission fluid pan) on my truck last year but I suspect the previous owner’s did not do this work regularly. So I want to replace more of the transmission fluid with new stuff.
My 2013 Chevrolet Silverado uses Dexron-VI automatic transmission fluid and I have a jug by AC Delco. This should be the same process on a GMC Sierra and probably many other truck models with a dipstick tube.
I’m also doing this with a manual siphon/transfer pump and siphoning the fluid from the pan through the transmission dipstick hole so I do not have to drop the transmission fluid pan to get the existing fluid out.
The manual siphon/transfer pump was from Amazon and cost me under $20 CAD.
Total time was less than one hour and it didn’t a mess at all!

On silverado the wider orange tube fits in dipstick hole. If you do it when fluid is cold and has drained into pan overnight it works way better and faster ... drain container being lower makes big diff also ... and being parked with front downhill overnight tilts pan so more fluid is near dipstick where tube picks up ...
Thanks for the suggestions!
Ive been doing this for years in my older chrysler. Every 6 months i pump out 3 quarts, and dump 3 new quarts in. Smooth shifts always.
Nice!! 👍
I bought the exact tool, and upon experiencing the same issues, I cut black thin hose shorter so the orange and black hose was in the transmission dipstick tube, then siphoned out, and it took me 30minutes as I poured some transmission conditioner down there to remove varnish build up, after all that I dropped the pan, inspected the filter and pan was no metal particles.. and refilled the atf on our 2017 GMC sierra 1500 slt 5.3 .. now it's time to do it to our 99 tahoe LT 5.7
Nice!!! I found a clear plastic, more rigid hose and used it to pull another 2 quarts out and that worked way better than the orange ones it came with!
That jug you are using to recycle the fluid, use the old cap on it. Cut a hole in it big enough to put the hose in it so you can keep the hose from popping out. I should hold the hose in the jug. If needed, put a small hose clamp in the hose UNDER the cap so it won't slide out of the cap, that's if you cut the hole too big.
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome 👌
informative video,mate. We have reached out to you via email for inquiring an opportunity of LED lighting review. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
That adapter to change the red hose to the black hose needs to be AT the pump. The work you're doing is right, but the design is wrong. You're trying to suck fluid thru a very small diameter hose into a larger diameter hose where the pressure does collapse the red hose.
ALSO, this pump is $7.49 at Harbor Freight.
Thanks. That's all it comes with and we don't have Harbor Freight in Canada. But it's all good, the thicker hose I used instead isn't collapsing but I see what you mean.
Did you do when vehicle was cold
Yeah, mostly. It was warm outside but the engine and transmission weren't running recently so the fluid wasn't hot.
A 100 degrees isn't hot for a transmission my Silverado sits at 176 in my Silverado and the manual says that's where it's supposed to be
100 degrees Celsius is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Im sorry i wasn't paying attention to that part
@@DustinKeating-yk3vq all good. 🙂 I'm adding an extra transmission cooler to the truck next month and that will help for sure.
My darn transmission reservoir is curved so cant get the hose down far enough
Ack! That’s disappointing. Gotta take a trip to the hardware store!
@@lmsdiy I have tried different siphoning hoses to no avail due to the curved reservoir
@@Vanhalen1 what kind of vehicle is this?
@@lmsdiy 2008 Ford Edge
@@Vanhalen1 darn.. I have no experience with that vehicle though I do know that Ford doesn’t like people to DIY their transmission fluid in general, so I guess I’m not totally surprised. 😕
Throw the black tube in garbage, no need for it, if red hose is to short splice a short piece in it with a barbed fitting. the hole is to small in black tube.
I tried the more rigid clear tube and it works great 👍 No collapsing and stopping like with those cheap orange lines!
