Hey guys!

I've got my truck ready to go less getting fluids in, including the tranny. It leaked all of it's fluid out of the front seal, which I just replaced, along with pulling the pan, and replacing the filter.

How does a guy safely start up the engine after doing that to the tranny? I made sure that the torque converter was full, and I'll be filling the tranny to the full mark on the dipstick with it cold, will that be enough fluid, or is something gonna get burnt out if I start the truck this way?

Any suggestions?
