I checked my tranny fluid while at the gas station filling up today.
Had drove about 8-9 miles. Parked killed it....starting filling up the tank.
Thought i'll check my tranny fluid level.
Started the truck and went and checked it.
Did it three times to be sure of the fluid location.
It's about an inch past the top of the crosshatching area on the stick?
Is this overfilled a decent bit like i'm thinking or am i ok?

I always forget how full looks on the dipstick but i thought it was to be in the cross hatching to mean it's full and good to go.

 

i wouldnt go that far over. before you pump any out try again after driving and not turning the truck off. let it idle for about 3 minutes and check again. i would say overfilled is better than low but i like to keep it perfect in the cross hatches.

 

I'll check it again.
I turned it off but it was only off for about 2-3mins before i restarted it.
Then the checking took about 3 mins total as i had to find a rag after i started it.

I'll double check it again though and proceed to pump some out if need be.
Thanks mang.

 

I wouldn't loose any sleep if it's just an inch over the crosshatch...if it was way over I'd be concerned about the fluid aerating(sp?) which could cause the trans to overheat, but that little bit shouldn't make a difference.

 

I'ma check it again tomorrow. If it's not too high i might roll with it. Even still it's pretty easy to pull the one hose from my cooler and spit a little out.

 

If it's over, it'll burp itself.

 

Care to explain?

 

if its at the top line of the cross hatches is where it should be. Dont be concerned about a couple mm over but if its under the cross hatch or at the bottom line put a little in untill its at the top.

 

like i said....if you read it?it's about an inch over the top of the hatching.

 

IT'S GOOD!
