FILL OUT YOUR INFO
The form is there for a reason, when people dont use it we cant really help.
See the confusion youve already started by simply not providing the needed info?

AW4 uses ~8qts (2 gallons) of Dexron III.
AX15/ax5/"Puke"got uses ~3.5 qts.

If it is full just save what u drain and put the same amount back in that u got out are u just flushing the tranny or replacing it because if u just drain it not all the oil will come out it will most likely be no more then 4q

unless there has been reg fluid changes thru out the life of the truck it is not a good thing to change the fluid completley thers a good chance this will do more harm than good ,also unless there is a plug to drain the convertor you will have to remove the trans to get all well at least most of the fluid out .

I don't buy into the whole "more harm than good argument". I've changed clean to black murky fluid and never lost a transmission because of it. Even when I worked at a used car dealer putting fresh fluid in a trans never hurt it, on tons of cars. IMO if a trans is gonna go its going to be an internal mechanical issue not a fluid change.
