lucas products

I swear by lucas oil and gas treatment products i used them all the time and my expy is running smooth as a babies bottom and my mpgs arent bad ( 13 mpg city/ 18-19 hwy with 22" rims). My question is has anybody used lucas transmission treatment in their expy and is there any noticeable difference in shifting ?

I put it in everything. Cant say i can tell a difference but i have not had a problem and i use mine like an atv. I use Lucas in rockcrawler,mudtruck,and daily drivers. I love it

It would depend on age and miles of the transmission.

I've seen it help older transmissions. Higher mileage ones may benefit, but it is really dependent on it's service history.

If the fluid is changed often and the trans hasn't been overheated, I doubt it would do much. If it has been neglected, Lucas can help.

I put it in everything from my quad to my work truck! My old work escape use to go through oil and would take over a half tank to drive 130 miles on freeway. After I put in lucas it only took a quarter tank to get to work and my oil issue slowed way down. My trany in my motor home was having issues so I put it in there and the issues cleared. been three years and the trany is still good. I put some other stuff in my expy thats sopost to be better but I forgot what its called. I do know that the lid color of this product (I believe it might be called duralube?) is different for different trany's and vehicles.

I never add any additive to my transmission. Especially ford transmissions. I've seen this several times when I worked in the auto field. Most commonly it happened after jiffy lube flush and cleans.
If it where mine I'd drop the pan, change the filter, pull of the low pressure cooler line and put it in a bucket. Start the truck and dump new fluid in as the old fluid runs out the hose into the bucket. Once it's running nice and bright red its all flushed. Shut the truck off re attach the line and fill the tranny to the correct level.
Good luck!

Check on ebay. They have balls. Different colors and sizes. I came factory with the small ones

how do you tell the difference between the low pressure line and the other one?

Apologies I should of worded that better. Typing on my phone is slow and I don't always word my sentences the best. The transmission cooler is a low pressure line coming off of the transmission. You don't want to pull a line that could be high pressure so pull the cooler line and you'll be good. Just be sure and pull the in and not return or it'll pour out the cooler not the line. While not the end of the world it can make a mess. As for which is out and which is return, normally return is the one that goes to the top side at least in my experience but this is not always true. I know some 4.0 jeeps it's the bottom. Best to look in the manual to see or just pull both and set them in the bucket. Be sure to label which went where though.

EDIT: FYI for anyone trying this for the first time I highly recommend getting yourself a set of line wrenches and be sure to soak the fitting where it screws in and where the line goes in with PB Blaster. Can really make the difference between an easy job and a fml job.
