Welcome Tom... my 08 Safari has the C7 CAT and a 3000mh (built in 07) Allison and as I read in an earlier post (and also in my Allison manual), I'm required to change both filters every 36 months and full fluid change every 48 month. When changing the filters, I will lose almost half of the fluid and am required to replace it (of course). When changing the fluid at 48 months, I assume I do not change the filters, but if I don't pull both filters I also assume I will not get the entire 19 qts (4" pan) to drain. I now have 27,000 miles and recently replaced both the filters and the 19 qts of Transynd. It seems strange to me that the filters are only good for 36 months and the fluid for 48. Will it be detrimental to the trans if I change both filters and fluid every 48 months, or should I change both every 36 months? Due to the price of Transynd, I would like to reduce the amount of good (and fresh) Transynd with the replacement of the lost fluid during the filter change.
thanks, and once again welcome.

Ron,
See my answer above to Wagonmaster2 about filters. This may help. If not, please keep asking and I'll try to deliver !!!
Ron,
Are you running Allison Gold Series filters or the High Capacity filters? Or are you running some "aftermarket" filters?
I'm using the high capacity part number 29545779. I purchased the Transynd and filter kit from a certified Allison dealer in Bakersfield CA.
