Routine Maintenance



Had a day free so did a little maintenance.

I had the transmission flushed at the local shop.
Did a fine job and it did help the shifting. Also put
a can of B&G trany flush through it too.

Changed the oil, checked differentials, and transfer
case. I even cleaned the skid plates. They are nice
and clean now.

I did run into one problem. All but one bolt holding the
front skid plate is stripped. Will have to head to the
hardware store to replace them.

All in all was a nice afternoon in the garage.

Now I am ready for the road trip Friday.

Cool man! Good feeling huh? Hey, not to sound like a smart allic, but why did you run B&G trans flush through, if you just had the trans flushed?

I ran the b&g just before the flush to break loose any

stuff that might be sludged up. It worked perfectly.

It was just a little extra pre-caution. You may even

call it over kill, but that is the way I am.



My obsessive compulsive syndrome kicked in.

So did anything come out of the trans? Parts, metal shavings, small animals?
