I tried saving as much fluid as possible when doing the draining into a clean pan, but said pan got filled quickly and I had to switch to a pan that wasn't precleaned before it was fully drained. After replacing the sealing bridges, following the torque values on here and p pumping the clean drained fluid back in; the trucks running perfectly again for the past few days! About the only issue I'm feeling is hard shifts but I know I'm about a quart low since having to switch pans as mentioned above.

The first service was a drain and fill at like 110k so I'll be doing another drain and fill since it still seems pretty dark even after 6-7 new quarts were mixed with old. I never thought I'd be happy dealing with 30FF codes but I'm just happy to have her back on the road :-)
