5-gallon bucket pump

For adding transmission fluid.

Lisle Cooler Line Tool

For disconnecting cooler lines on the flush service.

Medium (Blue) Threadlocker

Personal preference, but I use medium strength locker on transmission pan bolts.

F150 Trans Filter (6R80)

Motorcraft FT188 Trans Filter. Vehicles with Start/Stop feature require an FT-200. Verify vehicle fit on Amazon or purchase direct from the dealer for best fit.

F150 Pan Gasket (6R80)

Metal/Rubber impregnated Fel-pro TOS18753. Verify fit on Amazon.

Mercon LV

Mercon LV Automatic Transmission Fluid. I recommend 4-6 qts for a drain & fill and 16 if you follow up with the flush.

Brakleen

Light solvent for oils, dirt, and grime.

Inch Pound Torque Wrench

For pan bolts

3/8" Drive Speed Handle

Install pan bolts quickly with less chance of over-tightening

1/4" Socket Set

Handy 1/4" socket set to pair with a cordless impact driver.

Makita Starter Set

High quality cordless drill and driver set (tip: don't use power tools for tightening in critical applications)

Impact Socket Adapters

Use your sockets on a cordless impact

Flexhead Ratcheting Wrenches

Best wrench set you'll ever own. This complete metric set has equivalents for most imperial sizes.
