Keith - how often do you change your fluid in the transmission? And in the diff?
Thanks - Gary

Drain & refill every year or so. On the trans, I just pull the fill tube & drain it out. Refill with 2.5 qts DexronIII & .5 qts Winns trans fix.

Hey Keith, what trans fix do you like better, Lucas or Winns?

I just picked up some Lucas.

Both are pretty good. I Usually use Lucas buu Winns was cheaper this time so I got a couple of bottles. Both appear to be the same, real thick like STP.
