Default DIY Tranny Fluid Change ?

New to the forum. Glad to be in the community. Got a question...Can a DIY tranny fluid change be performed on a 2007 1500 Suburban LT 2WD? If so, is it primarily the same process as in most vehicles. Is it going to be a matter of removing pan, draining Torque Converter(is there a plug on TC?), and changing filter? Please advise. Thanks for your input.

there is no convertor drain plug. remove the pan and filter. you will have difficulty dropping the pan....getting clearance for the oil pan and exhaust y-pipe...unless you know how to weasel it out. It can be done in seconds but you would have to see it done.
