So many quarts of fluid is it supposed to take?

I just can't see any mechanics doing all these steps on their shops , most likely they're gonna fill it the first time put the plug and move on to next car, I figured i could probably do it myself till i saw you unscrew transmission mount bolts and raised it up

What is the difference between this and the newer LS (which is also advertised for the 2.5 gen Tundra). Ended up putting in the product mentioned in the video above in my 2015 Tundra front and rear diff. since the Tundra isn’t a true LS but have always wondered if I put in the wrong gear oil. Has about 8,000 miles on it since I put in the oil with no issues but it makes me think every once in a while. Also wondering about the red color since most are amber (including the transfer case oil).

Great video. Thank you so much.

Let me go by that lift right away (slides under truck bc I'm short $60k for a lift)

Who would buy these trucks, everything they make now is either trash or it’s a maintenance cash cow for the dealer. I’ll stick to my old school engine no computer and I can do absolutely everything myself which saves huge! Not to mention wayyy better hp and torque, no ALUMINUM ALLOY driveshaft waiting to snap off and I’d destroy you on the quarter mile

Excellent video, followed the steps to a T on my 2014 ram 1500 laramie longhorn 5.7 hemi. Substantial difference in shifting and running beautifully. Only issue I had was getting transmission leveled. Floor jack and stands didn't quite get it there, ended up using forklift and tire to get it properly leveled. Again thanks again for the video! Very helpful 👌

How often are you supposed change this fluid

Thank you!

Check when Running or nah?

Sounds like a pain in the ass

So check level with engine running and gear selector in park or drive?

This is absurd.

What if i tried to torque down the drain plug to 8nm but its just keep on spinning 😮‍💨

i had my cambelts changed on my MK7 VW golf diesel now the engine chatters horribly !! had it rechecked and all installed correctly. came with new tensioner. few others i've spoken too said they experienced the same issue!!

I wanted to do this in my trackhawk. I let it drain but when I tried filling it I struggled to get a 1gallon/4quart jug into the trans. Still had a little bit left. I would put it in the gears and run it for some time to empty the pan but I still couldn’t fill it with enough fluid. It’s also 100° outside so I’m guessing that’s why I can’t fill it anymore

Thank you

How to kno None find transmission fluid is low?

In the process of adding the fluid, how many bottles did you ad before cranking and how many did you ad while running?

bought original zf pan on ebay for $96 and 6 quarts mopar 8/9 speed trans fluid for $80 ebay

my truck is 2017 ram 1500 3.6 v6 pan is wide open no exhaust in the way.

The only problem here is I have 4 mopars products they are fussy to what they like for the Trans fluid stay with the factory mopar stuff.

One important item I sadly learned is that the "crush washer" is usually not given to you when you get a drain plug. I thought the plug and washer I was given was the whole item. Plug leaked and I added to the overtight from previous owner (leaks when i got car) and had to do new pan to fix. 1000 error. So be sure you get the crush washer also plus plug and don't make my error. I suggest you get parts from dealer for these oil changes. Why VW would use separate crush washer is bizarre. But now you know.

One concern I have is that the Mopar book says to level the tranny (not the truck) as this will result in a considerable difference in fluid level.

Got an alumium pan and replaceable filter

$466 for pan since the filter is attached to it lol.

Great video. Boy, that's a rather dumb design for a nice Hot air intake

Hey you jacked up the transmission to get clearance but the truck rear end needs to be jacked up because the transmission isn’t level in these trucks. You’ll end up being a quart or more low if you just put it on a level lift and don’t take into account the level of transmission pan rail.

Where is the link for additional info

So never buy anything with a zf trans again. Noted

I cannot get my two side tabs to press in. I’ve tried everything. aRGHHHH!!!!

What are some symptoms of a transfer case that has bad fluid or low fluid? Is there any significant improvement in changing the fluid as a preventative maintenance measure?

My 2016 Ram 1500 is different. It isn’t like this one. Any ideas where it might be located?

Thank you that was easier than I thought I was going to get charge over 80 dollars for something that it took me 5 minutes to do

And the dealer wont touch it, they say its a sealed unit

My 2008 350 Lariet has a finned cast (aluminum?) diff cover and no drain port that I could find. I would definitely welcome your advice. Thank you.

The owners manual for my 2019 ram says to use SAE 75W-140 for my 3.92 anti spin differential (rwd). Does this sound right? Im just confused because i cant find any videos of someone using SAE 75W-140

So u no longer need to change the filter

Excellent 10/10

Great video.

Does anyone know the part number for the fill port level insert. I think mine is missing?

what size is the filler adapter?

Thanks. I’ve the same Big Horn truck so it was super easy!!

Awesome! I just stumbled through in less than 5 minutes and completed it. Saved $50

Hey, I ordered the trans oil, just did my change, but mine only took 5 ? Is that normal ? I did everything step by step, ran thru the gears at about 100 degrees I opened the filler plug and let it drain to a drip then closed and torqued it but I have an entire quart left just want to make sure it isn't supposed to take 6 no matter what

I got mine changed at 50,000 miles. I also tow a my favorite a boat! Differential fluid was changed and the transmission fluid at the dealership. Although they charged me a whopping $650 to get it done which is ridiculous. I have 60,000 miles now …

What if we just drain the fluid then refill without removing the pan???

Thank you 👍

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot!

You’re in need of a wireless lavaliere mic to deal with all that shop reverb, friend
