On my drain plug AWOL '05 F150:
Disconnect ATF cooler return line.
Slide vinyl tubing over and secure with zip tie
Affix other end of tubing over 1 gal graduated plastic painters bucket.
With one person watching fluid, start truck, and run until fluid flow stutters, shut off quickly
Drop now mostly empty pan, and filter. Install new filter with extended pick up, and new extra deep finned cast Al pan
Add roughly 5 quarts of ATF, to roughly full level
Drain painters bucket, start truck, and run until 3 or 4 quarts in painters bucket.
Repeat until about 5 gal or ATF cycled through. On 3rd and 4th cycles, run through the gears manually.
Connect return line, and perform cold level check, then warm up and finalize fluid level.
