Well like I said its not a lockup torque converter like we're all used to so the torque convertor is literally using the fluid to drive the vehicle at all times (even at highway speed). This is primarily to get a heavy load going and keep it going but is antiquated mentality and technology. The transmission is a Torqueflite with overdrive known as the A518 or 46RH and is behind a Cummins diesel in a 3/4 ton. Like I said it works well and of course I would change the filter at proper intervals but I wouldn't mind draining the 4 quart pan from time to time. Looks like in order to keep it leak free I should drain via dipstick suction and will continue to do that. Thanks folks.
