Hi mat, i noticed the atf oil temperature range between 64-74 ° on mine Colorado 2.8 diesel. Do you think its normal or need to service ?

No gasket change? Thanks for the video. Why didn't you film the filter change? I know you said it poured ATF all over the place but we wanted to see that!

Your engine should be running when you are doing the level check. If it isn’t running your level won’t be right. I just wanted to point that out. It’s part of the procedure. I know it sounds counterintuitive but it is how it is suppose to be done.

Yes, typically vehicles have a transmission that have a dipstick under the hood. You do check it while it’s warmed up and running. This vehicle does NOT have a dipstick under the hood. It has a fill hole on the transmission that you open up and the oil is to be flash with that Filler hole. After it’s warmed up and you’ve run it through all it’s gears. I am by all means not a professional mechanic. Did that service about three years ago and it still is running great.

All vehicles equipped with a 6l50 transmission should be running and at operating temperature when checking and adding transmission fluid..

Yes, you may be right. This was only an informational video. I am by all means not a professional mechanic and I went off very little information I had and that’s why I did a little video. I figured other people were trying to get it done also. All I can say is I’ve been running for three years since that video and it’s been running great. My truck now has 152,000 miles on it with no issues. I have also learned that if your transmission is already having issue’s, a service probably is not going to help, In fact, it may make it even worse.

Nice job! Next time always show the before (and after)-even if you are not videoing the entire process. Better still, if you do not want to film all of the actual work, show like 30 seconds of each step in the video (the sanding, the wiping, etc.). It's more helpful and interesting and creates a better "tutorial" for the audience.

What kind of transmission fluid are you using? When you put on neutral and warm up, do you leave the overflow nut open or close?

GM says every 45,000 miles. When you take it in for a transmission service they don’t always change the filter. They just suck the fluid out and put new fluid in. That’s why I wanted to change the filter in this video.

@@sparkysbackyardgarage8324 I just bought one of these trucks- 2015 GMC Canyon 4x4 with 118k miles on it. I know on older cars you want to avoid changing transmission fluid because it could make the transmission slip. Understanding that GM’s recommended intervals are for “heavy” use, and these vehicles are still relatively new, should I be worried about pulling the pan off and doing this job?

what others are referring to on procedure is having the trans up to temp between 80-122 degrees if i remember correctly. also you should be checking the fluid level with the engine running so that fluid is circulating and all components are full. without doing so, you are getting false readings out of the weep hole and potentially running the trans low on fluid
@ronfazer2423

Exactly! I overfilled the trans slightly (by 1/2 qt.) When the trans reached 104 F (the middle range) I opened the Oil Level Check Plug , after running out, it started to drip and I installed the Plug.
