Tranny fluid/filter change

[rodo]

Thanks for the replies!! I changed it out this morning, and it was easy to say the least, that is after I had to make two trips to the dealership! I had bought an aftermarket filter from Napa, and after I got the pan off, I noticed it was not the right one at all (part # was right for the truck, filter was not even close to the same). I went ahead and paid $7 a quart, because the nearest O'Reilly's is 80 miles away (will plan better next time). The drain on the pan is AWESOME!!!! Sure beats unbolting it and getting it all over the place!

Just out of curiousity, what mileage are people changing the trans fluid?

[rodo]

Every 30,000 miles.

20-25k for me.

I am getting ready to do the tranny fluid in my 08 job 1 truck. I see have the external filter.. I am guessing there is one inside too?

If you have the external then its only a screen filter inside.

Thanks do I have to change that internal screen?

I just looked through the owners manual for my 2008 6.4L external filter element... states the part numbers as FT-176 or FT-175.. has anyone changed theirs? Have a part number?

jeez 30,000... am i wrong or is 30,000 miles sooner than it used to be. I thought the interval on my f250 gasser was 75,000. I work with guys that never change theirs. One guy has the v10 with 265,000 and he hasnt changed it since 85,000 miles, now hes scared to mess with it
