Ram 1500 2009-2018 | Rear and Front Differential and Transfer Case Fluid Change | Do It Yourself

[@the1sgjohns]

thank you for the info mate. I just hit 100K on my Ram 1500. I wasn't sure about the Anti--slip and Limited Slip but the build sheet check internet site you posted saved the day. I downloaded a copy for my onboard manual. Thank you again.

[@mundaneman254]

Glad it helped

[@accouswk]

Hey man thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. Helpful.

[@seanmcdermott416]

Amsoil and valvoline sell the nozzle tip pouches.. it's an easy job with that option.

[@memykidsandi]

Good job, i was encouraged to change my truck's fluids, i went and bought them, i will do them soon, thank you. By the way, the link works, gave me all the specs.

[@scottcpan68]

The last few differentials I've done I've been buying Valvoline gear oil. It now comes in a quart size bag which is great for getting in tight spots when refilling.

[@michaelkivlin8385]

Great Video! Thank you very much!

[@andrewschoenfeldt5620]

530xxx on mine. Changing for first time.

Hey i cant find the number 14 hex nut. What would be called here in Canada?

[@allanj4576]

14mm

[@chrissullivan4575]

Would you think that red product around the drain plug might be red thread lock as opposed to rtv sealant?

[@andrejolin8967]

Likely not, as red locktite is very strong, not meant for plugs that have no stress and need to be removed on a regular basis

[@golffoxtrotyankee]

Just to add to the already given evidence that it's not red thread locker...When red tread locker drys and if it can be removed, the treads will have a white residue and not retain it's red color...cheers🍺

[@garyradtke3252]

It's probably pipe sealant used for gasoline and oil called Gasoila. We use it in the marine world for pipe threads on fuel systems and oil systems. It gets hard and can even be applied to the threads and allowed to dry before installation but can be used wet also. Sealing tape will also work well in this application. The factory probably applies the sealer long before the plugs are installed. In my mind the biggest reason to use anything on the threads is so the plug doesn't need over tightening to seal but will seal and not vibrate out and can be easily removed.

Very helpful thank you for your knowledge.

Great video

[@accouswk]

Looks like you have a new transmission pan. Did you do the tranny change too?

[@DanK-xz6if]

Great video!

[@Blackbull1975]

Like all the aspects including which proper fluids to use. I will do this myself.

[@richpettengill8674]

Shouldn't you loosen fill point 1st? Hate to drain if you can't fill.. Great job though brother!

[@rickylee2477]

Be a man. Drain it first. Only woman have trouble loosening the fill plug. If the fill plug is bound up, drill and tap a new fill hole.

[@mundaneman254]

It is probably a good practice to do that.

[@mundaneman254]

@rickylee2477 If I couldn't have loosened the plug I might have gotten my wife to give it a try.😄

[@PRviewsvlogs]

Always take off the fill plug first

[@Sebbaru251]

Any issues with the fill amount without the rear plug?

[@mundaneman254]

No but it was awkward to refill. I should have looked for differential fluid in a bag or something more flexible. Just need to take your time filling.

[@Sebbaru251]

@@mundaneman254 excellent thank you!

[@mplslawnguy3389]

I don't think you need the additive with the limited slip labeled gear oil. It already has it.

[@mundaneman254]

I think you are probably right but wanted to be cautious about affecting the clutches by not having the aditive.

[@jamescourtney2262]

I never shift wen drive in stop dan neutral dan shift to 4x4high nocturno

[@kwb377]

Thanks for having the courage to clearly state what needed to be said.

[@DF-mb9kc]

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THE ANOUNT ON THE ADDATIVE, MY MANUAL CALLS FOR A VERY SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF OUNCES NOT THE WHOLE BOTTLE….

[@golffoxtrotyankee]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT HIM! just chill brother, I'm sure he can hear you when you type in lower case as well. Cheers 🍺

[@martys4814]

Never do drain plug first…..and should of dumped the additive first….use the bags…

[@HuskerRed11]

One wheel peel, or two tire fire. 😂

[@rickylee2477]

Most definitely void warranty if your dif fails and it’s learned you used to the wrong weight gear oil And you still struggle to fill. I suggest a bag of oil. And the tube on the bottle is the easiest. But you only need a hose on it 4-6 inches long. It’s a breeze. Your hose was way to long.

[@DF-mb9kc]

USE A BULB SQUEZE TRANSFER FUMP $6.99 AT HARBOR FREIGHT

[@kwb377]

TYPE LOUDER...WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!

[@rickylee2477]

If you are gonna go by mopar recommendations then you should have used mopar brand gear oil.

[@mundaneman254]

True but as long as the fluid you buy meets the Mopar spec then other 3rd party fluids are fine. Similar to motor oil.

[@ureasmith3049]

Gear oil, like motor oil only need to meet an API GL standard.
