Hi fellas, I'm planning on doing all my fluids soon (tranny, Xfer case, front and rear axels). My question is do I just change the tranny fluid or bring it to get done. If i do it myself, how do I get it all out (torque converter and coolant lines that go to radaiator)? Also do I do the internal filter as well or just spin on filter? Truck has about 75k on it. Thanks.

There is a write-up some where on this forum on how to get all the oil out. No need to change the internal filter. Later! Frank

To be honest, I'd like to see some people use the search button ...

What? I know how to search. And after doing some searching now I'm asking for people's advise on which lubercants they like to use the most on their duramax. Thats all, I've done my searching and didn't find much. If my question pisses you off just don't reply. I love this site because its so informative and many people have tons of advise to offer us all. I don't come on this site to get some cocky remarks on how I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do.

Thanks!

If everyone used the search and found every thing they needed there would be nothing to post in this forum. Later! Frank
