RAM 1500 - Front & Rear Differential Fluid Change

[@d.mar.2624]

"remove the fill cap before the drain cap" best solid advice anyone can ever be told. I made that mistake on my motorcycle. I drained the primary fluid before I took of the derby cover and i accidently stripped the allen screw and i wasn't able to take it off. I had to get a dremel and make a notch to unscrew it.

[@stevemiller6500]

I found that warming the bags in a pot of warm water makes the fluid fill faster. ( don’t boil it )😊

If you look up specs for differential fluids for Ram trucks, the only one that is OEM 75-140 weight is 3.92 limited slip. You can put in the 140 in any differential but not needed.

I just crawled under my 2016 ram 1500 4x4. Both front and rear diffs are 3.21 gear ratio. I looked up online that they both take 75w90.

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

That front fluid looked good still.

[@yoboicantaloupe2493]

What about that little rubber piece on the diff pan

[@Zeesneakyninja]

You lsd test doesn’t really work for rams anti-slip diffs. I have the lsd(anti-slip) it turns like an open diff on the lift. It only acts as an lsd when there is a load applied, because it has no pre load springs.

[@seanmcdermott416]

Wouldn't your truck just have traction control button inside the cab to turn it off ?

[@morganraman2644]

Great video. Whats the vehicle stand you're using? Ill need to get one of those for my truck.

[@rudijones]

Thank you. It’s a red jack tripod stand I get at Princess auto in Canada

[@morganraman2644]

@@rudijones I have a "Service 4WD" light on in my vehicle. Hopefully changing the fluids will take care of it.... your video really helps to do the oil change without a lot of research time....

[@eliotorres-il3xz]

Great Video... Hex Socket bolt drain SAE OR METRIC ? number # ?

[@eliotorres-il3xz]

Rear Diferential ? Drain bolt

[@sundek88]

Is this the same for the 2015 5.7 hemi RAM 1500? Thank you

[@acrobatiqa]

For rear axle with 3.55 ratio like on Ram 2012 4.7L 4WD 75w90 going to both REAR and FRONT axle for NON LSD or so called Conventional Axle

[@davidgonzales8395]

What is the difference between me using full synthetic vs synthetic? You would imagine you would only want full right?

[@rudijones]

Honestly probably not a huge difference. More marketing hype. If it’s the right viscosity it will work. It’s a fluid that doesn’t get changed very frequently so I can justify the higher price for full synthetic but that’s just me. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisinwood9041]

You know of anyway to download updates without going to the dealer?

[@kirindavis1397]

The front needs 75w 85 for some

[@dustinbrooks5755]

How much was it for all material?

[@rudijones]

About 120

[@farhenheit628of1200]

75w-140 x3 75w-90 x2

[@almaalcala7184]

This ram 2011 4x4 4.7?

[@CarlosRojas-oy7pm]

It seems to have the HEMI badge, but other than that the 5.7 and the 4.7 I'm sure they are the same truck.

[@acrobatiqa]

For rear axle with 3.55 ratio like on Ram 2012 4.7L 4WD 75w90 going to both REAR and FRONT axle for NON LSD or so called Conventional Axle I have Ram 1500 4.7L 2012. So I am 100% sure cus I was searching for info for 2 days from different resources

[@TrustGodFEVR]

ALWAYS change your o-rings/gaskets. Never reuse. Even if its new and you just torqued it down.

[@Zeesneakyninja]

For this purpose, It’ll be fine. Check to see if it’s leaking if you’re worried.
