Thanks Ken......that was my thinking as well......transmission has been working perfectly fine, and particularly the way I've been using the truck for ~ 1000 miles per year for hunting in South Texas, I think I'm in good shape.

I had the fill tube grommet replaced this week while I also had the trans fluid and filter changed......also had any other exterior gaskets/o-rings replaced like for modulator, etc. while it was in transmission shop. Tech showed me I had some grit in the bottom of the pan when he had it...

Based on the schematic in the TM, I was looking/expecting the fill tube mounting tab to be on driver side, not passenger side of the tube......thanks for the tip on the 2 o'clock position, that should be reachable if I can just see it!
