    68RFE front pump seal leak?

    There's no question it's coming from the front end of the transmission, dripping from the bottom of the bellhousing. The odd part is it only leaks when shut down parked in a nose low attitude.

    68RFE front pump seal leak?

    I have a 2008 2500 4X4 with 324,000 miles. When I park facing downhill, the transmission leaks from the front. The truck runs and shifts great, itj's just when parked, shut down, and facing downhill. Is that going to be just the front seal?

    Led headlights

    I put SuperNova brand in mine, yesterday based on an article in the TDR. Same problem, as soon as I started the truck for a test drive they blinked a few times and went out. The SuperNova bulbs come with an inline module for Dodge/Ram products with the CANbus that is supposed to take care of...

    Turbo Failure

    Mine is a 2008. I just changed my turbo at 255,000mi. I always run the EB. My turbo had not completely failed yet but it was showing signs like the EB sticking on and taking a few seconds to allow acceleration again. I put a BD Diesel reman on it. The reman turbo cost me ~$1,500.00.

    A/C clutch short cycles at startup

    No, it does not make any unusual noise like a bang.

    A/C clutch short cycles at startup

    I can open the hood and watch the clutch engage and then disengage within about 1-2 seconds.

    A/C clutch short cycles at startup

    2008, 2500, 4X4, Quad cab. When I first start the truck the A/C compressor clutch will engage and then disengage in a short time, and will continue to cycle in this manner until I start to drive it down the road It only does this on initial startup. Once I start driving it will engage until the...

    68RFE oil circulation in park

    I could, but on this hill going up the mountain it just does a lot of hunting from one gear to the other. It's really just this one last hill before I get home that is the issue. Most of the time it just stays in drive, tow haul on, exhaust break on. But this last hill is steep, very curvy, and...

    68RFE oil circulation in park

    It's a small, two lane, country road. The speed limit is 35. Three of the corners cannot be taken that fast. When running normal highway speeds it's not a problem.

    68RFE oil circulation in park

    I live on a mountain. Ok, it's a Alabama mountain so it's just a big hill to some of you. My issue is after turning off the highway while towing my 35' travel trailer my transmission temp is in the 170-180 range. After reaching the top of the mountain it around 200-210. I keep it in second all...

    68RFE just quit working

    This is just a follow up for anyone curious about the outcome. When the shop pulled the pan they found the pressure had built up to the point it blew the spin-on filter off the threads, stripping the threads in the process. There was also significant clutch material in the pan. I guess when the...

    68RFE just quit working

    It started with erattic shifting when trying to go to fifth or sixth. It would hunt for a gear and feel like it was slipping a little. It would go into limp home where it would start in first go direct to forth. It did record a P0868 code, low line pressure. Hoping for a cracked or loose filter...

    Pulsing Lights

    Sometimes a person just gets lucky. A few days after posting this, my right turn signal started to blink fast as though one of the bulbs was out. This was also intermittent and when I would stop to get out and see which bulb was out, it would blink at the normal rate and both bulbs were working...

    Pulsing Lights

    2008, 2500, 4x4, Quad cab. The only add on is an Edge CTS monitor. I am having a periodic issue with my lights pulsing. It's all the lights, head lights, dash lights... It normally starts when I change between high and low beam. It seems like it only happens after I have been running awhile...
