Hello Ya'll,



Question from somewhat novice.



I have a 2004. 5 Ram (140K mi. ) that I bought used one year ago.



It recently came to my attention that the I needed to have the transmission fluid replaced.



I heard a nightmare from someone who did it the wrong way and ended up getting metal shavings into the transmission... resulting in disaster. The local lube shop says they have a method of just sucking it out and then replacing the fluid. I definitely want to make sure that its done the right way.



Any advice?



Also have to replace differential fluid... but I am assuming that is fairly straightforward.



Thanks in advance,



Mike

Here is "LINK" to a good procedure for changing out the Automatic transmission fluid:

I have doen this for several years.

that procedure has an error in step 13. You need to be in neutral with the emergency brake on to flush the transmission...

Is there a step by step writeup for doing a 48RE fluid change in the print copy of the TDR?
