Yep I been filling it up regularly before I drive it with the 4 dollar wall mart tranny oil. It wasn't too bad, but I'm tired of being the guy that parks and leaves behind a oil slick in the parking lot.

Found a local shop that seems reasonable on the labor, and they like the truck. I tried to loosen the fitting that was cross threaded myself. It was in a bad spot and I was afraid to torque it too hard for fear of breaking it off and making a bigger mess. They broke it loose, but the threads are damaged so it will need replacement anyway.
