Ordered my Level 10

[Black Stallion]

I just ordered My Level 10 kit from Mark at Lightning Force I plan on putting it in myself. Is there anything I should be forwarned about? I have done everything in my sig myself, and I am thinking that it should be relatively easy. Although I have never touched a tranny.

Thanks for your input guys:tu:

Pretty easy, just read the directions carefully! Follow them like the bible and it wont be hard. Took me and shawn about an hour, and most of that was us just taking our time on dropping the pan so that we did not spill. Have any questions just ask or I will help if that is what you want. It is also VERY important that you have an INCH POUND torque wrench!!!! Go and buy one if you dont have one.

how may quarts of tranny fluid did you use? I want to go full synthetic but I don't know how to empty the torque converter. I have a tranny cooler and I was thinkin' about the B&M deep pan also. is this overkill?

I did not drain my converter when I did mine, but from what I understand, All you do is take away all the lower hard wear tell you can see the torque converter. Spin it tell you see the dain plug and drain it from there. When you put the torque converters drain plug back in, you are going to want to dress it with some sort of sealer. It took me 8 quarts to fill the stock pan and not the converter. I was told that takes another 8 quarts or so.

The deep pan allows you to run an additional two quarts of fluid. If you buy this pan from FORD or from one of the tuners on the board that is for the 4x4 F150 with the same tranny, it also includes a drain plug. If you run this pan, you also have to get the 4x4 filter. All that is not overkill and adds a little more insurance to yours truck tranny. Hope that helps.
