best thing i always do to prevent over filling is to add 4 qts, start the truck ,let it run a minute or two. shut it off , check the fluid level and add more if you have to until it's full.

Just put in exactly how much you take out . Some will be left in the tqconverter and you will never know exactly how much unless you take the trans off and pull the converter out and empty it . For those that are picky about all the fluid not being changed then all you have to do is drain it twice and put all new in its place. If your gonna do that then you may as well pull the trans put in a new converter and rebuild the tans . Especially if you have 2- 300,000 on the truck . You will need a rebuild after 275,000 anyway most likely . Especially if you have an early model
