Ah, I'd say take it to a Chevy dealer...sit back for 45min and have them use their equipment and get ready to pay for extra fluid...my flush took 22qts...
Zf or auto??
Edit nevermind probably an auto I missed the part where u were looking at a truck it wasn't yours.

Problem is; water soaked friction clutches will boil the paper lining off in short order when the trans gets hot. Probably have to pull the trans and re-clutch it.
I couldn't tell you exactly how much water, but it didn't look like much, when I pulled the dipstick the fluid was still a pretty dark pink and didn't look that milky. how about the rest of the compartments, anybody have any really good ideas on flushing everything else out?
The trouble with water is, unless you take it and drive it to circulate the fluid around, the water can settle out and not look that bad. And like Mike said, be prepared to reclutch it as enough water can take the clutches out in SHORT order. Not to mention what water does when it goes through a pump when hot. I've got a JEEP trans that HOWLED liek you wouldn't believe because it got driven with water in it. Wiped the pump right out.
I toasted a fully built Suncoast 47re with 180hp
And water
