Default Allison Tranny service

I am taking my 01 2500HD in for a crank sensor recall tommorrow.
The truck has 18,000 miles on it and I was planning on letting the Chevy dealer change the oil and filter on the Allison Tranny. I think they also flush it out as part of the oil change for $199.20.
Any benifit to letting them do this ? Or should I just R&R the oil and filter myself ?

Mike

with 18,000 miles I would just change the spin on filter. and make sure you put the magnet on the new filter.
youll find the magnet when you pull the old filter. also I would use an Allison filter. there about $5 go to Allisons web site and search for a dealer near you. you should change the spin on filter about every 10,000 miles

I liked it a whole lot better when gas was a buck 79.
Good tow truck.
