I've got a 2005 2500 4X4 and just changed my Transmission fluid and filter and added a deep transmission pan I was wondering how critical it is to have the bands adjusted after doing this, I have 30,000 miles on my truck. I don't pull a heavy load mostly just drive around town with a highway...

Did you try STEAM CLEANING IT, not just power washing it... .

I removed the spring only to find it bent from trying to put 4X4 in gear, after getting it as straight as possible I reassembled it the correct way and it works great now. I called my local dealer for availabilty of the o-ring just in case I needed a new one, they wanted $9. 00 I just can't...

I'm not trying to tell you to use amsoil, I like it, therefore I use it! I see the difference between amsoil ATF and ATF+4 same as with gear oil and engine oil. Use what you want, but I am getting the feeling you have a bitter taste in your mouth against amsoil. The only way to really tell the...

I just installed a Mag-Htec deep transmission pan and used Amsoil Universal ATF, the install was easy and the Amsoil fluid is all synthetic. If you can afford the Amsoil I recommend using it over ATF +4. Good Luck and your going to love your new transmission Pan... . Oo.

Brian, thanks for all the info, it's much appreciated... BTW, I use to live in NJ, Cedar Grove. Don't know if you know the area or not... . I'll try pulling it apart and re-installing... Hope this message saves someone else the hassle I had... Tom

Brian Yes you have it right, sounds exactly like you mentioned. I don't remember seeing an O ring, where would that go? I put it together wrong and never saw an O ring, would I have a leak it I didn't have it, because I don't have a leak. Also was wondering when I put it together as you...

I have a 2005 4X4 Dodge Ram Automatic, I went to drain the transfer case, and what I thought was the drain plug turned out not to be the drain plug. The plug I removed had a bullet shaped sleeve with a small hole at the pointed end and a spring popped out. After this all came out some fluid...
