    None at the moment
    I'm gonna be replacing the transmission fuuid on my 5.7
    Tundra. As you know the truck should be as level as possible.
    On my (25° pitch aprox*) driveway
    Using 4 jackstands it's 2wd Sport and I need work room.
    Is the frame underneath the doors the best place to use a med size carpenters level to get it as level as possible ?? Or is there a easier / better way ??
    This may sound anal but there are a few factors at play here.
    1. It's my first time doing the extraction via the transmission cooler line
    2. I'm doing my best to follow instructions.
    3. I can not Fudge this up. It would set me back $$ major league. Plus I Wana make it easy on me...and not do shit twice...
    4. I say 25. it may be closer to 20 or 18° of pitch. Our side of the St is consistant...across the St it's more like 25-30° no joke.
    Any help Appreciated.
