I'm sure I got a short.

Just guessing here, since I don't know for sure. But that phone may block certain things in order to keep data usage lower.

I'd have to look. But I don't think I'm using notifications for TRS. I just wait until I pull ot up in Chrome. Then I click on the little bell at the top to see my TRS notifications.

Okay thanks @Curious Hound my phone does have limited data.
I think I get an allotment of 4.5Gs of data a month.

So your most likely right.

So as of right now I don't really have any real up dates on my progress on my truck and reinstalling the transmission.

I'm pretty much at a stand still at this time.

I'm 50 years old and smart enough at this point in my life to wait on help to put the transmission up into place.

And my brother Andy ( who will be 52 this year. ) hasn't had enough of a opening in his schedule to climb on the ground up under my truck and help me put the transmission on to the jack and then help me manipulate it into place where it goes.

Once I get help doing that I can do everything else on my own.

Just thought I'd give you all that that info before I post another post asking a question about something totally different.

Now to that other question about something totally different.

I feel I should give a little backstory first.
Before I went to prison and when I did smoke I always used a Zippo lighter.
So when I got out of prison my brother gave me a Zippo lighter that needed some work done to it.
He didn't realize it was beyond my help.

I think someone tried to put a flint into the flint tube that was too big for the lighter and the flint tube itself.
If it's not a flint I don't know what it is.
Either way it is still in there to this day.
If I was to drill out the pen that holds the striker in place to move the striker out of the way, I probably could put something into the flint tube and push whatever's in the tube out.
The striker and the pen or rivet or whatever you want to call it that holds the striker in place are not in good shape either.

So that leads up to my question now.

Can anybody give me any advice on putting butane lighter fluid into my new butane lighter?

I bought a two pack of Zippo lighter insert replacements .
I also bought some Zippo lighter fluid at the same time.

When I open the package 1 of the Zippo lighter inserts was a regular Zippo lighter insert.

To my surprise the other Zippo insert was a butane insert.
Also in the package to my second surprise was a Zippo casing.

It's in other words I got a whole Zippo lighter along with 1 zippo lighter insert.

So today I bought some butane lighter fluid and tried to fill up the butane Zippo insert.

I turned the Zippo butane lighter insert upside down put the nozzle from the butane can into the little fill hole and push down on the can of butane.
I hear a little tiny hiss at first and after that I can't hear the butane going into the lighter or anything like that.

I held the can of butane down which should release the butane into the fill nozzle of the lighter.
I counted 30 Mississippi's which should be roughly 30 seconds.

I slowly raised the butane can up.
I heard a little hiss right as the nozzle was about to be removed from the fill hole.

I waited two full minutes afterwards.
Then I tried to light the lighter it did not light.
I did not hear any fluid when I held down the lighter Valve or whatever it's called either.

So I repeated the same process again.
And I got the same results.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I appreciate the help in the advice thanks everyone.

Sounds like you did it correctly. Sorry, I'm no help.

I've used rachet straps and a 2x4 above the transmission hole. Also a rachet strap from one frame rail to the other side. Maybe you can figure out a similar system using ratchets and blocking.

@alwaysFlOoReD The way I see some feedback is better then no feedback at all.
