I tried the lube guard version of their tranny fluid additive and was not pleased at all. It made the transmission slip and search for gears. I had to drain it and refill with merc-v and the problem went away immediately.
I'm a firm believer that most of that stuff is BS. I only use Mobil 1 synthetic trans fluid for the power steering. It has significantly made it quieter. Still makes some noise but I think that's just how rangers are. I've used it now for 6+ years with zero issues. I simply undo the bottom return line and fill, then have my wife turn the steering wheel lock to lock when the front end is lifted and it completely gets all the old crap out while I pour the new stuff in. Way easier than trying to use a turkey baster and then refilling again after a couple weeks. Takes about 10 minutes and the fluid is cheery red and new.
