- Hey all,
In this video, we drain and fill the transmission on a 2015 Silverado LT 4WD with the 5.3L engine. We learned some tips and tricks during the process and thought we would share to save you some trouble!
Hope this video helps and if there are any questions or concerns comment below :)
Dropping & turning the pan is a fantastic tip!!!! I am in the middle of doing a fluid/filter change & watched your video. Thanks a ton!
Awesome glad it helped! This is exactly why I made this channel :)
The best 2015 transmission fluid change I have seen yet.Great job .
Awesome thanks for the tips! One tip I have is make sure you let the orings and gaskets soak in transmission fluid before install. Helps condition them for less chance of leaks!
This method worked 100%! I bought a $20 pump off Amazon and pumped out about 5 quarts through the dipstick. The pan came right off using this trick, even the filter gasket came out quick and easy. I was 45 minutes in to it and about 15 minutes from being completely done. Had the pan cleaned, back on and hand tightened all the bolts. All that was left was to torque the pan bolts and add fluid back. And then it happened, as I was torqueing the first pan bolt (and thinking man, this doesn't seem right) I snapped the bolt off at the head. Lesson learned. Make sure you know how to use a torque wrench before putting it on anything that matters. Aside from that, this tip was very helpful.
I’m glad it helped!! :) it sure would have helped us too haha
which pump did you buy, did you use the hose that came with it or did you buy another one? Could you get more than 5 quarts out?
Thanks GM for making an easy job more like a whole 8hour work shift 😆 🤣
Nice! Some advice.
Pull the exhaust down at the flex and wedge in place. Step drill the pan and weld in a treaded drain bung for oil pans and use an oil pan drain plug.
Don’t reuse the filter seal, get the old one out and install a new one.
If you don’t have a welder, try to source a friend or take it to a muffler shop and pay to have the bung welded in.
( side tip, if you know where the drain will go you can use a sharp punch and poke it to drain it before removing any bolts.
Does putting the new filter on get in the way of maneuvering the pan back on ?
Great video did mine today 4/16/22 just as you state pan will slide out once you get the angle right didn't jack up the rear of trans.
Awesome! Glad it worked :) it’s a tricky fella
Thanks. I have a two part question, how often you have to change transmission fluid in terms of milage and time, whichever comes first?
I was hoping but NOPE! Without pulling the exhaust down in some way turning the pan does not give the clearance needed to remove it. After pulling the exhaust down using a 2x4 with a ratchet strap just ahead of the flex coupler removing the pan went smoothly using your turn the trans. pan method. Even tho your turn the pan method did not work 100% it did help so thanks! It was worth a try & may work for others?
Did you remove the filter before you rotated the pan?
Didn't work for me either 🤔
Those who have no patience, fails.
This is the easiest trick, ive used this method. Job gets done in 30minutes. My truck is lifted and it helps alot.
It seems every trucks exhaust is tightened at the factory in a different position so if the exhaust pipe was installed high this method won’t work.I checked a couple other half tons & both were lower than mine.
How do use a ratchet strap and then the guy also fails to show you that he has a transmission jack on the back
Best video on this ever
For me,it was easier to remove the exhast pipes from exhast manifolds.A lot of room to work then.The nuts are easy to remove with the correct tools.
Bolt torque spec to exhaust to manifold?
Why? He just showed you the easiest way.
You are the definition or working harder not smarter. Talk about doing a 1 hour job into a whole days worth of work. You should just have better men take care of car problems for you buddy. Maybe you should’ve removed the entire engine to get to that pan. Imagine how much more space you can get…
Thank you,thank you and thanks again. Very helpfull.
You are very welcome. Glad it helped!
So how do you get the pan back on once you put the new filter in?
Exactly yhe harf part is getting it back together
Yeah,my back blew out yesterday so my truck is still up on stands so I'm hoping it will work as well on my truck. I will leave a comment when I can get back on it & finish it up.It might be a few days but I will give u a shout back to let u know how it went.
Ever get this done?
Same.. Nothing like vehicle maintenance to remind me I'm getting old.
Thank you very much!
I Want to add that the pan most likely will not go back on with the filter in place. unless you lower the exhast pipe.
Put the pan back then install the filter. I have done it and it works
@@bcar1ify 🤔 alright than im gonna go for it 😆
I'm getting real.tired of gm and all the bs
Great video thanks!
thank you!!!! how did you get the actual filter out first?
I just slapped a ratchet strap on the exhaust and pulled it down just enough to get the pan out 🤙🏼
Amateur tip: just spend $50 and get the aftermarket pan with the drain bolt and never think about the filter again once replaced lol. I remember doing this job on my Envoy 5.3, getting stuck, then paying for a tow truck and tranny shop to finish. Going to give it another go on my 08 Silverado since I'm towing with it. Only 54k miles on it, but just gonna get it done and forget about it, besides occasional 4 quart fluid swaps
Awesome to know, Thanks for the step by step 😊
Nytime!
Thanks for the tip.
Awesome thanks 🙏 for the video
I’m wondering how the guys mask disappeared?? Lol 😂
This did not work for me. I did manage to get the old filter out, and new one in, but spent 4 hours trying to get my pan thru the y pipe and could not get it to come out. I could get the first corner over the pipe like you show, but the other side of the pan would not come out.
Did you move the lines out the way? The filter was off as we showed in the video!
@@tunerworld Yes I did. The lines were not the problem. After turning the pan like you showed and getting that first corner over the pipe, thats where mine would get stuck.
4 hrs, that's all it took?
@@dschalid you turn and slide the pan out a bit towards the passenger side . Slide out and down.
Thank you for the video! 👍
Thanks. Helped me out 👍
take the heat shield off the passenger side then go toward the right driver side. that's it. But what ever work's.
👏🏼👏🏼
thank you
That was very, very helpful. 🍻😁
Some are making it look super easy but they are working on a v6 and there is more room
God bless you!!!
Thanks
Anytime
How easily did the new filter go back on?
Easy
Great video! Thanks! Very helpful 👍
After 6 hours I tried every turn,tried ratching exhaust down it would not come off,ended up replacing filter and all the fluid I could get out of pan.i was on the ground.i tried to loosen exhaust bolt,but did not want them to break,they didn't loosen.this was a 2016 suburban I tried everything It would not come off !
THANK YOU!!!
That’s a reman transmission. These trucks are known for torque converter failure.
Yup smh
What about the oil in the converter?😮😮
Thank you
Didn't work for me...just not enough clearance...even lifted the tyranny but no luck..thanks for the video
Doesnt work on a 2018 z71. Still not enough room.
Did you remove the filter from the pan before you took the pan off, or leave it inside the pan with removal?
Took it off!
Yes,removed the filter & sucked out the fluid even tried jacking the trans. But nope,I had to pull the exhaust pipe down a full half inch & thought it was going to crack the manifold if I went a touch more & with that the turn method barely cleared.
Not that easy on my 14 6l80.. had to jack up transmission a bit.
does this work for a 2019 chevy tahoe 5.3 also?
If the engine and trans are the same, I would assume so! I don’t know if those newer chevy’s use a different type of trans I would have to look more into it
@@tunerworld could you check please
Dear lord, that rust!! Omg
People are so obsessed with removing the pan. Why? There is another video that shows just drop the pan enough to remove and replace the filter, and use rags or suction to get the remaining oil out in the pan. You can reach in and grab the magnet and clean that too. People seem to spend 4 hours trying to remove the pan completely when you don't need to in order to replace the filter.
Or you can just remove it in 15 minutes like I did and do it the right way 🤷♂️
I had to say a few swear words to get it out
Good job staying safe boys with that diaper on your face 👍
I just did it on my truck today and it took me like 30 min just to get the pan down. Shit is so fucken stupid, engineers do this shit to us on purpose I swear🤦🏼♂️
I called bullshit must be a 2014 that he’s working on because it doesn’t come off on a 2015
Worked for us and others 👍🏼 you may just be getting the angles wrong
@@tunerworld not with all these other comments that say it didn’t work for them either off by a 1/4 inch from coming out
@@ronaldwright2885my wife has a 2015 Tahoe LTZ. I just did hers twice for a flush. Pan comes off if you push the front towards the drivers side. I also take the filter & gasket out before, just flip it upside down and snake it out. Pan comes rite out. Do the same in reverse installing obviously.
What a stupid design
If they are know to leak why would you put that plug
We used the correct type of gasket so we will be fine. We will also keep an eye on it
