It's videos like this that help out tow guys... It's impossible to know everything about every car... But that was a good one.

Hello, I to was a Chrysler Corporation mechanic for over 30 years. I love watching your videos. You're very professional, clear on your instructions, a pleasure to watch. I must say thou I'm happy to be retired and not have to earn a living turning tools for a paycheck anymore. I do miss not rebuilding transmissions anymore, something I really enjoyed. Keep up the good work and have a good day.

Thank you!! Just bought a 2014 Ram 1500 with the 8 speed/knob shifter. I always change my oil on ramps, then push the vehicle down in neutral to level, to fill it so I don't get a bogus reading. I thought I was going to have to start jacking it up, but this video gave me the answer. Great tip/secret hack. My truck doesn't have the owner's manual with it, so I would've never known about that.

1 - More electronic shit WE DON'T NEED 2 - The gear selector dial is in the same place as the transfer case dial on the F-150. Excellent choice, Dodge. This Ford owner accidentally moved the dial to PARK while moving when attempting to disengage 4WD. The good news is the electronics are smart enough to prevent me from buggering the transmission. I do like the newer Dodges and the 8 speed tranny works well. However I'd much prefer the gear stick be a lever.
