Ok, sorry for the idiotic question. I just got a 2000 f250 7.3 automatic. It had most of the normal replacement parts for these trucks needing replaced. I've done a full oil change and needing to do a transmission fluid change, but trying to wait for the ground to get a little dry before doing it. I have a new accelerator on order too due to the IVS not working properly. I doused it in contact cleaner and it worked 2 days... now doing the same thing. Anyway... that's not my question.
I noticed my truck won't shift into drive when in the OD position sometimes. I heard where there are a few bolts to tighten in the transmission and I plan on looking that up once I do the full flush and oil change. But when checking my fluid level today I became ignorant. SHOULD THE DIPSTICK HAVE AN ACTUAL LEVEL? When you check the oil it has a definite level. I have none of that on my transmission dipstick. There is some fluid on it when I clean it off, but not much at all. I'm thinking I'm a qt or 2 low. But don't want to be filling it up too much only to find out I'm wrong on reading it. Should there be a solid type level of fluid on the dipstick?
I would appreciate a little insight since I can't seem to find it via youtube. Thanks.
