Too Much Tranny Fluid?

[LBJ]

I fixed the high fluid level. First I pulled the speedo cable connection. That only dumped about a few ounces. Then I had the bight idea to open to trans cooler line at the radiator. I took a 50/50 guess on the TOP line being the supply line. Wrong! Dumped about 2 quarts of fluid on the drive and all over the right side of the engine compartment. But, after I cleaned that up, the only thing to do was to add about 1.5 quarts and the level is now perfect. Didn't have to screw with dropping the pan or make another trip to the tranny guy. I changed the oil and fliter, checked everything again and took it out on the freeway for a short spin. It drove and perfromed just about right for a 30 year old truck with original engine and rebuilt tranny. Good smooth ride, brakes perfect, no problems at all. Fun.
