[QUOTE="Steve Krusich, post: 1020143, member: 63733"] I just did it a week ago on my 07, 4.0, 4x4 and it is a pain. You have to buy a special nipple for the drain plug, have a good pump, the trans cooling line disconnect tool and a lot of patience. Also, without a lift it will be very awkward and more difficult especially to pump in the new fluid. The OEM filter is much better quality than the filter kit replacement gasket and mine was in perfect condition and resealed nicely. I have the factory manuals which provided important guidance and comfort as this completely sealed trans was different than any I had ever done before. After some research regarding at what temp the level can be checked without the scan tool I was told that 8-10 mins from a cold start will achieve the proper fluid level temp. Mine did not come equipped with factory trans cooler which I now want to install. I recommend doing that at the same time since I have to repeat much of the same procedure over again now. Todd Z is much better wrench than I. Now that I have done it once I would do it again but...knowing what I now know, I think I would have paid a shop to do it. [/QUOTE]
