Thank you again Dr. Shock your videos are perfect for me. My son' was given a '97 GMC K2500 and you have walked me through front and rear brake repair, Kelsey Hayes ABS replacement, Upper and Lower Ball Joints, Master cylinder/Brake Booster and and most recently the rear axle fluid replacement. Now I will work this project in, you have saved me so much and I know my son is driving something that is so much safer and reliable now. I took High School auto mechanics in '82-'83 and I've done more on this truck then those two years with your superb videos and awesome detail.
Always good content. Did a search on your videos, and about the only thing that is not posted is engine mount replacement. Not many videos of that procedure for the GMT 400's.
Thank you for posting this video,i have 98 c2500 p'up with 4L80E trans.just did a trans.service.I check the fluid level while the engine running.You check the level with the engine off.which is the right way of checking the level?
Thanks. I mentioned in the video, it's about the temperature, rather than whether it's running or not. Either way is fine imo, if it's at temp. Easier to check with it running of course, unless you're making a video and need to narrate over the engine noise. ;-)
It's just Dexron VI nowadays for the 4L80E/4L85E series transmissions. Originally, when the vehicles were newer it would have been Dexron III. But those blends are obsolete and no longer marketed anymore.
those access holes are cool never even knew about them. however I feel if these vehicles ever had a transmission or engine removal or both those bolts probably don't quite line up as well anymore. Something to thinking about to aide in helping me check if those services have been done before.
As always I appreciate the detailed content. I wonder do you have any experience diagnosing a P0758 code for these transmissions? The code reads shift solenoid b however I have tested both solenoid a and b and they both read around 22 ohms which is within spec.
buenas tardes profesor para una chevy venture 2000 se puede utilizar el aceite que usted utilizo? o debe ser dexron 3, espero me pueda contestar gracias y saludos desde veracruz mexico.
You would typically _not_ flush the cooling lines unless you had removed the transmission from the engine. And yes, it's completely expected that some old fluid will remain in both the torque converter and valve body. The GM drain and fill schedule takes this into account.
If I service my own vehicle and it has a pan with no drain plug I drill a hole to drain it and throw it away 😅 Then installing a cast aluminum pan with a o-ring seal 😅

Is there difference types of fluids..that can be used..i have a 2004 6.0 with a 4l80e..

Can you please list the tool you used to drive in the bushing you give the size I would like to get one? Thank you Mike
Thanks for pointing out that I missed adding that tool. It's in the video description now.

Para estas transmisiones antiguas, Dexron VI es lo que debería utilizar hoy en día.
@@DrShock muchas gracias por su respuesta.
Hey soo what about flushing the lines? And what about the torque converter? Is it ok for the new fluid to mix with the old fluid? Thanks!

I tried to do a trans service on a 95 Cheyenne 3500 that’s been sitting since 2011 and the fluid is spitting back out at me and won’t go down weird
