just yesterday changed the battery on my 2017 6.4. nearly 8yr to the day i got the truck new. it did well

14-18 https://cmgearworks.com/product/2014-dodge-ram-2500-3500-9-25-aam-4x4-front-axle-electric-disconnect-fork-assembly/ 19+ https://cmgearworks.com/product/2020-dodge-ram-2500-3500-4x4-front-axle-shift-motor-actuator/ cm gearworks is probly the best place for genuine aam parts

why. the aam genuine is only $160 and takes about 10min to change. 10yrs isnt bad since he probly let the grease turn into tar

i remember those turd bucket zf manual trans ford trucks used years ago

does it say made in china on the box ?

ya a real beast. practically everyone says they shift so bad it feels like your rear ended by another vehicle. people have even lemon lawed the truck because the trans was so bad. https://nextgendiesel.com/blogs/transmissions-101/ford-10r140-transmission-problems-solutions

your train of thought is to keep a newer fluid average in the system. every other fluid on the vehicle degrades over time and gets hot just the same. diff oil is sheared constantly between hypoid gears. why not suck a qaurt or two out every oil change ? or pump the cooling resorvior ? i get it ...

the differential runs 170f on the highway empty. cooling system 210f. tcase gets hot as a muther also. so the ps gets more abuse ? lol how funny. having exchanged ps fluid on two of my vehicles ,i didnt find it difficult at all. ya youll need two floor jacks but theres nothing tricky about it...

to each their own i guess. but why stop at the power steering. theres 2 differentials ,tcase and radiator as well

why not exchange all the fluid and be done with it for another 8yrs or so. instead of diluting the old stuff a few ounces at a time every oil change

normaly this is how you would exchange the ps fluid. suck what you can from the resorvoir. unhook a return line ,but without looking at the truck i couldnt tell you exactly which line. drop the unhooked return line in a bucket (plug off the other side of the unhooked line). jack both front...

what does your owners manual say ? that might give you some guidence

im sure the tcase would be ok to 60mph but what if you need to stop or make evasive action on those road conditions ? i would recomend common sense and good judgment. i would also caution against engaging 4x4 at those high speeds unless it was absolutely necesarry in a emergency situation...

sun destroys everything. tires ,dash , moldings ,paint. why would the radio screen be any different. we'll be seeing you sooner or later. just a matter of time :D:D:D

ya can lead a horse to water but cant make him drink. just gotta let him die of thirst
