What’s the pros and cons of doing this at home with the pump vs going under it? With the kids around there’s 5 cars here and it’s expensive and time consuming to go to those drive in places that we all hate and the dealers are a bit out of the way and require appointments and tour always stuck waiting. Thanks. TJ

I just started using a fluid extractor. The one con I see is not visually inspecting the bottom of the truck as frequently as I would like. Otherwise, the pros are numerous, time saving is a big thing, not having to get in the ground is another good one.... It is just easier, for me at least.
