[QUOTE="EccentricRaptor, post: 1719869, member: 57373"] I have not. Part of me hates that I haven't attempted to do so though. Biggest thing holding me back from that was that it does drive nicely at times (as long as it's in normal mode). Had a couple relatives with transmissions that leaked fluid and the way their vehicles acted when they were low didn't really match with how the Raptor is acting. But, every vehicle can be different so I decided to looked up how to do it today. And I was surprised that it wasn't just a simple dipstick under the hood. I have zero issues with driving it enough to get the transmission to the right temperature. But, since I'm scheduled to take it into the dealer early next week (and I don't need it until then) I've decided to hold off. Normally I'd be more adventurous. While I feel that I'm capable of getting under the vehicle and loosening the bolt to get the dipstick out, I've honestly never done anything like that before. I'll be honest. Beyond checking/replacing basic fluids under the hood, the battery, head/tail lights, windshield wipers, etcetera and knowing where the major components are at and what they do on a basic level, I don't know much about vehicles under the hood. I've always wanted to learn more though, it's just a lack of time and opportunities for hands on experience (the way I learn best is to watch a video or read instructions and then doing it). Guess I should have spent more time on the family farm growing up with all the equipment :( [/QUOTE]
