Only the early ones came from Ford with a ready to drain, plug. Mine is 4r100. I believe Ford deleted the plug on 2002 models.

Hello LBV, did ypu purchase the Summit Racing dipstick kit? and did that work?
With all the problems people have with flushes and fluid changes it seems you should just run your tranny until she blows and just replace it. I thought about taking mine to the dealer for a fluid change but I read a lot of horror stories. No thanks I'll just wait until it's time rather than speed it up
Not yet, but I heard the one for the F150 fits the Expy better. I have to do a little more research. Only have 7K miles on the '16 so not in a hurry but I want to install that and a oversized pan to increase the oil capacity and with heat sink ribs for better cooling.

I had to replace the electrical bulkhead on my 07 and used a conglomeration of swivels and extensions to access the rear bolts on tranny pan. If you remove most of the bolts, leaving some loosened on the back corner, the fluid will drain out one of the front corners with little mess. Make sure which trans you have as they use different fluids. Google is your friend.

I would tend to disagree. I have been doing this for years. I just to it way before the recommended mileage.
