I know that sometimes the "newer guys", regardless of their own talent level, don't know whom the "resident guru's" in a given forum are. Those "gurus" are not self appointed but have earned their place over time by helping others. Loki is one of those when it comes to all things "computer related" in these trucks(& others)....just a FYI for you....

Please give input! This is how we learn about each other, and share knowledge.

I don’t make statements based on Internet knowledge, I make statements based on personal experience. It sounds like you are similar. I take all the Doom and Gloom on Forums with a grain of salt.

Don’t make assumptions we are all morons(which is hard on the Internet nowadays), and there won’t be any issues. People come at things from different perspectives.

Welcome!

I have helped several people with High Mile EB 150’s do it and it made noticeable difference in performance of the engine. Helped one with a rough idle. Another’s MPG went back to where they expected it to be. All positive.

Loki, are you spraying the CRC before the turbo or after the turbo. I will assume engine is running?

You spray while engine is running. I spray in via a hose on the top right front of the Intake when doing 150’s with the 3.5. Our Motors have the same hose. I can take a pic of it later today and post.

I follow the instructions the can and videos say to do.

Tip: I have never done it by myself. Because you need to modulate the throttle while spraying. A 2nd person make that possible.

Also, Never used whole can in one application like some of the things say to do.

In reference to a transmission fluid flush and refill seeing as how there is no dipstick to check the level yourself

A couple of things...1: Sea Foam brand made for DI engines works just follow the directions and have a helper. 2: There is a dip stick on the tranny fill port to check the oil level. There is also a kit to convert it over to a firewall mounted traditional dip stick tube.

Who makes that kit? I would be interested in that!

Weird, I’ll have to look at this. Manual says there is no dipstick to check the fluid level. Thanks for info

Point being made is most on here could research the best way to do a procedure and then be certain they DID do it right as opposed to hoping the flunky who happens to be the one working on yours is having a good day, has more than 2 months experience, is in a good mood, likes his job, cares about doing a good job, treats every vehicle like his own....
Good luck with all that.
The way it often works is the newest flunky gets to do tires and/or oil changes. If they don't strip out too many drain plugs or cross thread too many oil filters then they get to progress into transmission flushes.
Not going to get the Master Tech with 15 + years experience doing heads and timing chains and cam phasers over there to flush a trans.

I think the one or two times I've had an on-the-road-on-business oil change at Jiffy Lube they wanted to flush and change my transmission oil. If Jiffy can do it I expect anyone can.
