Default Tranny fill plug?

Someone please clue me in on where exactly this tranny fill plug is located on a 1999 4.6 HSE?

First of all, how old is the tranny fluid in the tranny now, you don't just want to add an additive on top of some already dirty fluid. Also, if the tranny is full, you'll need to drain some off prior to adding .
There are only 2 plugs on the pan, one to drain and one to fill.
Do you know the proper procedure for filling and topping off the tranny?

I just had the tranny flushed and filled at LR dealler.

Please clue me in on the proper way to add the Lucas additive? I see the drain plug but no fill plug unless it is the same as the tranny dipstick tube? thanks Disco

Well, just drain off enough ATF, thru the drain tube, get a funnel and fill it back thru the dip stick.

On your truck, that is the only fill port.
