I have a similar tool shown above. I think what will make it easier is to use is a grease gun with a rigid hose.

Yup, got that tool. Because of the skid plate it's a pain in the butt to see and get to.

4 bolts and it’s off......

A smaller, hand style grease gun that uses those small cartridges is all ya need.

I was thinking something like that. I of course would waste the grease it came with and add my AMZ/OIL grease.

Waste good grease just to put in grease that costs 5 times more that does the same thing.

Aisin transmission is recommended for fluid change every 30,000. And it ain't cheap.

It isn’t that expensive when one uses Mobil 3309 transmission fluid......

 

[pwr2tow]

Aisin fluid from Rockauto.com under $5.00 per quart

But you have to not be a lazy old guy who doesn't want to lay on the concrete floor anymore.

What's that saying, "A fool and his money."

I don't have a lot of money so I've learned to spend more wisely.

 

[Cummins12V98]

Spent and saved so wisely I quit at 54.

Don’t like what I say go to the next post.

This gets real old!

Mopar and amsoil are over priced junk. Good ole supertech 75w90 in 6 Ram Cummins and not one, "oh It's starting to shudder so I better change it out".

I’ve heard the Wally World stuff is good.

Retired/quit at 55 sooo.
Yup your amsoil pimping get old quick, and you doing so makes you fair game.

Well, this thread went downhill real quick.

At 20k my fluid was TOAST!!! When towing taking off turning the rear started grabbing similar to being on a hard surface in 4wd. I had the fluid tested and it was BAD.

Running AMZ/OIL SevereGear since with zero issues. I use the 75-110 since I tow heavy at 33-35k combined.

I've seen you post this countless times and I have to ask you one question. Do you think it could be that the OE fluid was "toast" because you were testing an oil during the break in period of a piece of equipment that Ram acknowledges needs broken in. If you were to run the OE fluid again I'd bet a steak dinner your results would be DRASTICALLY different.

Not that I am supporting the OE fluid, but I promise you your ScAmsoil is not THAT much better. It just isn't the miracle you want it to be.

The Mopar synthetic is pretty good.

I don't know if the manufacturer uses mopar synthetic in the original fill

As opposed to.....?

Here is a report showing how bad the MOPAR GL is at such a low amount of miles.
