Draining transmission fluid
Is it safe to idle, for a minute, the engine and transmission in neutral when the transmission pan is empty? The goal would be to pump the remaining fluid in the converter and in other places into the empty pan.

do not do that if you really want to try a hillbilly flush change the fluid and filter then before starting remove the return cooler line and overfill the tranny. Then start and measure how much comes out in a bucket of something shutting the truck off before it runs dry. Filling it will probably be a pain after this and you likely won't gain much over regular trans services, this includes band adjustments.

I did my band adjustments 4000 miles ago.
