Skip down to --------------- below if you want to get right to it! I have been doing some suck out from the dipstick tube and replace with fresh Dexron VI in my 2007 Chevy Tahoe with ~~71,500 miles. This is the first new fluid since original fill. I checked the level on 178 degree...

I would be more concerned about transmissionmission maintenance - My wife's RDX had some issues at 28K - main reason I traded it with less than 35K miles / 7 years is because the transmissionmission was acting strange. Transmission service was done at 15K owners manual is 30K - It is really...

Maybe a silver lining - My plan to do one 3.5 - 3.75 quart flush would yield 31.25 - 33.5% new fluid. If I do two 2.4 quart extractions I end up with 38.27% new fluid!! WINNING!!! Maybe in a few thousand miles I will do the second one - how long until the old and new is totally mixed - 20...

Well I got it done this morning - Everything went as expected except I was only able to suck out 2.4 quarts. Everything I read said 3.5-4.5 so that was disappointing. I started with the medium size tube and it got 2 quarts - switched over to a smaller diameter tube and managed to get .4...

BTW - anyone know the maximum amount of fluid I could suck out of the dipstick on a 2007 - 2014 Chevy Tahoe or pick up? I am still only going to replace about a third somewhere between 3.75 and 4 quarts.

Good plan. I was going to do 3.75 quarts - so I had some left incase it was low. But if I can get a quart at WM for $7 maybe go for a full 4 quarts.

I don't want the mess. Current fluid looks totally clean - I am just trying to "refresh it" . I got the 4 quart bottle of ACDelco today from Amazon - I noticed Walmart has a clearance on quarts of Valvoline Dexcon Vl / Mercron LV for $6.88 a quart. I am going to buy one and use it if I need to...

I ask AI to compared the two - it listed this as a difference. Not the first time AI has given me bad information.

ACDelco Dexron 6 and Valvoline Dexron VI / Mercon LV Or NAPA or Castrol or SuperTech is all good to mix? I am going to replace ~ 1/3 of the transmission fluid in my 2007 Chevy Tahoe ~~ 72K miles. I just ordered a gallon of ACDELCO Dexron 6 which is the OEM fill. It was about $40 - I could...

How much would the dealer charge to do this job?

Walmart - Armstrong Tru-Trac HT Highway 235/75R15 109H XL Light Truck Tire...

With that small of a difference I would put new on front. If they only had 5/32 I would change my mind.

Walmart has GT Radials on sale for $82 get a total price then go to Discount Tire on line and click on found it lower. You get the cheaper tire price and also save on the installation.

These close out deals look like a good reason to use TR.

I know DT bought TR - they are still operated as separate companies as far as I can tell. What advantage did you get buying from TR and having DT install them? Could you just go straight to DT?
