"For less than 100.00 you can have a NEW filter/gasket and Mobil 1 Mercon V. With this in mind I think my tranny would prefer if I did it instead of the dealer." I think you have something there old friend. Only problem I have is spending to much time on my back because I have a bad back and it makes me swimmy headed when I get up. Then too, I'm 66 so the old Stud Hoss ain't what he use to be.

I had the good fortune to bump into a friend who is a mechanic/technician that use to work for the Chevy dealer, factory trained and all that jazz. Said he got tired of the dealership hoolpa and went off on his own and has a van decked out with tools and equipment he needs to do on the scene auto repairs. My power steering pump is whining like crazy so I got a rebuilt from Auto Zone and he's going to put it on Saturday. Said buy him a six pack and fix him sandwich and he'll do it for $50.00 labor. Yup, that'll definitely work! While I have him captured I'll ask him about changing my ATF & new filter. I'll grab 6 qts of Mobil full syn ATF and with only 46.8K miles on it that should last me to the 75K mark anyway then I'll siphon or pump the pan dry and replace with Mobil full syn again. Maybe it's just me, but I do declare, the tranny shifts so slick and smooth it's awesome and that Vulcan is one sweet running honey of an engine.

Put a new set of Kuhmo tires on it 'bout two months ago and I'm very happy with them because if I didn't know better I'd think I was riding on Michelins. Raining and I found a deserted corner in WalMart parking lot and stomped the brakes and almost threw me through the wind screen. I can tell you since I took the Bridgestones off it is an entirely different driving and riding vehicle and why Ford put those on at the factory is beyond me.
