[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 1796665, member: 1594"] It's not that the fluid expands, it's where it is. I am not an automotive engineer and I might be wrong, but I think that when the engine isn't running the torque converter slowly drains fluid into the pan. At any rate, there is a reason why you check transmission level with the engine is hot and running and not when it's cold and not running. Cheap Experiment: Use your B&M dipstick and check the transmission fluid level in the morning after the truck has sat overnight, and compare it with the reading you get when it's hot and running.
