After the tranny rebuild, how much fluid should i dump in the tranny before i start the truck? Fill it to the cold mark and start it, and finish filling as it runs, or overfill it from the get go?

I'm pretty sure Mike told me to leave it down a bit from the full mark. Not to fill it all the way full. Doing this helps keep the temps down.

But you better make sure from the expert to make sure.

I believe he told me it was 1/2 inch below the full mark when hot. but for first start up i'm not sure how much you should start with
