Get at least three bolts that are the same thread size as the pan bolts, but 3 to 4 inches longer. When you're installing the pan, it's easy to get the longer bolts threaded in the corners, without the pan and gasket seal touching the transmission. The pan will basically be hanging down, with a gap, suspended by the long bolts. From there, you simply feed the pan upward, and directly into place without any shifting that could cause gasket distortion. Once you have enough stock bolts installed to hold the pan in place, remove the long ones from the corners and install the stock ones. Im much more relaxed knowing that I finished the job without wondering if I breached the seal from a small slip in my attempted pan alignment. The bolts are cheap enough to throw away without guilt. 😁

@illiniwood Жыл бұрын

Never ever let anyone do a flush on your transmission, including the dealership. Drain, replace filters and fill is all you ever want to do to a transmission. If you're concerned with old fluid left behind get an aftermarket pan with a drain plug and replace a quart or two at every oil change. Honestly, if you did just that at every oil change the transmission would probably outlast the engine.

@Revitauto Жыл бұрын

@@illiniwood This is very true, we never do a transmission flush on a vehicle. We will only Exchange the fluid. We have a transmission service machine that goes into the trans cooler lines, it uses the line pressure from the pressure side of the trans cooler line (This is really low pressure in the 10-15 psi range) and then it displaces a bag that is full of fluid and exchanges the fluid. It is gentle and soft.

Very good video. I just performed this on my 13 hemi ram 4x4. I had two issues. 1st i could not use rtv on pan. I tried and everytime i attempted to fit pan back on i would drag rtv onto the filter and some of the small nuts in the transmission. I tried 3 times slide in the pan and looking. I got so pissed i gave up and decided to use the rubber gasket instead. The exhaust is just so close i couldn't get it fitted without this problem and i really wasnt going to let rtv bits stay inside my transmission. Rubber gasket seemed to work fine knock on wood. Second i used about 8.5 quarts to refill back not 6.5. Idk why mine was more i was nervous i was overfilling but it wasnt and i did make sure to idle in neutral.

@moparfan4388 2 жыл бұрын

I put the spin on filter dry, no oil on the mounting boss or filter gasket. The spin on filter is known to come loose and fall off. I also weld in a drain plug nut so that next time I need to drop the pan all I have to do is remove the drain plug. Takes less than half an hour but saves lots of time and mess if you pull the pan again.

The exhaust pipes on my 2017 hemi ram 1500 have a crossover pipe that goes beneath my transmission oil pan. It is within 2 inches of the oil pan. Why would they do that. If heat is needed to get the temperature of the transmission up higher, why do they have cooling Lines that go into the radiator of the engine at the front of the car? I put a muffler heat shield that I picked up just for shielding my transmission oil pan from the heat of that exhaust crossover pipe on my truck. it’s been on there since I bought the truck new in 2017 when I spotted that questionable routing for the exhaust crossover pipe. It just didn’t make any sense to me. Here it is, six years later, and I am not having any transmission issues..:

@@Revitauto on the 2017 ram 1500 does not have a dipstick either " they say " the purpose of that is because it's a "sealed transmission" it's guaranteed for life of vehicle. it's not supposed to be opened up to change ,so they didn't inquire a dipstick .I guess you have to do the same process pull the pan and there is a drain plug hole where you fill the fluid backup and you put your pinky finger in there to test the level of fluid there is no dipstick lol look it up It's very common to Google and get info about it

Always use a speedy wrench to remove the pan bolts. No power tools of any kind

Suck as much trans fluid as you can out the dipstick hole . I used an extractor purchased on eBay . Made job much cleaner and a whole lot less stressful .

Even though the factory uses high temp silicone I got a wix tranny filter kit that came with a actual pan gasket. Should I use that or do you recommend just sticking to the silicone? Also if I use the supplied gasket do I still have to silicone the bolt threads?

@BerettaM9USAF 2 жыл бұрын

Mine has an oem gasket, if you use a gasket do not use any sealant, also if you go no-gasket route the in-lb torque may change b/c the Mopar tech specs i have shows a gasket which in theory ass 'space' between pan and housing that does not exist with sealant only..

Excellent video, I just got a question... my truck is a 2015 1500 3,6 L, is a 8 gear automatic transmission, and I been told for the dealer (here in CHILE) that the transmission fluid don’t need to be changed, then I read the manual and I think they where right. What do you think about it??

@abdullahal-shimri3091 3 жыл бұрын

Yes it doesn’t need to be changed. Only a service is performed where about 25-50% is changed. Not the whole thing.

@texasfan8892 3 жыл бұрын

if by changed, you mean a full transmission fluid flush, then no it doesn't require it. However, dealers recommend you do a typical draining of the fluid and refilling it (following the proper fill procedure of course) every 100,000 miles or more often if the truck is used for frequent towing. However, to say that you can just completely ignore the transmission forever is ridiculous because there's no such thing as fluid that lasts forever. The term "lifetime fluid" simply means the lifetime of the transmission, so whether that lifetime is as long as 150,000 miles or as short as 50,000 miles, it technically did its job. However, if you do a transmission service at the proper intervals, you'll never need to do a transmission flush.

You installed the pan just hand tightening the bolts and then you torque bolts to spec after you "waited as long as you can" how long is ideal for RTV?

@Revitauto 10 ай бұрын

It depends on each of the products you are using on the back and on the instructions you can follow those. For this one I went to lunch came back and did the final torque. There is a product I really like called the right stuff and they make one that settles super quick!

My owners manual didnt say how my transmission fluid I need. I tried googling it and no luck. This is the only place I found the transmission fluid capacity for my 2011 dodge ram 1500 2wd 3.7L v6. So 5.5 quarts is correct right? Thanks

Question: for a truck with 62,000 miles, no heavy towing. Mostly city driving in Florida, can I get by with just pumping some of the fluid out of the pan (with a small hose) and refilling accordingly or should I replace fluid and filter?

@Revitauto Жыл бұрын

I always follow the recommendation from a factory manual. Those guys who engineered it typically know the intervals. I know people who do what you are talking about doing and have been fine, I just do not take that risk with a customers vehicle.
