Wife just bought a 2012

[carl07230]

Wife just traded in her 2012 1500 hemi for a 2012 2500 4x4 with the 6.7L. I own a 2004 2500 with the 5.9L and know it like the back of my hand, do my own oil and fuel filter changes and such, BUT, when I looked under the hood of this truck, I know nothing about it. What are some of the things that I should be on the look out for. I plan on leaving this one pretty much stock. Are the turbos different? It has 34000 miles and after her trade in she'll owe about $15000.00. Good deal or what? She bought it from a dealer and is in prestine condition.

She bought it she should maintain it!

Leave it stock, change oil when the light comes on, don't short trip it. Drive it like you stole it. I like mine even though everyone I know warned against me getting it.

transmission/ Gears

How do I figure out which transmission is in it and what the gear ratio is?

 

[DonFitzwater]

Should be a 68rfe. If you take a look at the pan and compare it to what is on MagHytec's website you'll figure it out.

Go to the Chrysler's website to the bottom of the page lower right "contact" new vehicle information, then under equipment listing click that, you will see a place to enter your vin and everything you have on your truck will show up. Its free its and what I used when looking for my truck.
