This really depends how much drains out. The longer the filters are off, the more it wants to drain out. It's a little different every time. Between 8 and 9 quarts the best I remember. Hope this helps. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

And did you swap out the plastic filter threads for the metal one that comes with the ATS bypass for your transmission screw on filter?
@homegrowncountryhomeplace
@homegrowncountryhomeplace Жыл бұрын
I never have. The plastic threads I couldn't remove and didn't want to break it and be without a filter. So my thinking is that as long as the fluid doesn't get crazy hot, then it shouldn't be a problem. None of mine have looked bad or cracked when i have replaced the filters. Wouldn't hurt to replace it though if the plastic one comes out. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

I have a 2017 RAM 2500 Cummins with the 68rfe transmission. I have a question. It looks like my pan is sealed with RTV silicone. Was yours sealed with RTV too and then you added the rubber pan gasket later? Or did yours come with the gasket? Thanks!
@homegrowncountryhomeplace
@homegrowncountryhomeplace 10 ай бұрын
Best I remember it was a gasket on it. Most filter kits have a gasket and it is easier to just use the gasket that it comes with. Now mechanics will sometime use silicone because it is universal and it works just fine as long as your pan is flat. Either will be fine. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

Thanks bud, I’ve got the same transmission in my 2016 3500 ram. I’ve been told that there could be times when you change this fluid it could cause the transmission to act up because they are so sensitive. Mine just hit 100,000 and I’ve never done it but I want to. Your thought. By the way I even had a dodge dealer tell me this.
@homegrowncountryhomeplace

Nathan there is times when the transmission fluid gets dirty and there is varnish in the transmission and new fluid can clean the inside of transmission and cause some problems. Now if it is regularly changed 50 to 70,000 miles, then I see no problem. I can't remember off hand when they recommend to change it on these. I do mine 60 to 70,000 and I have 209,000 and no problem. If your fluid is still red and has not turned brown looking or most of the miles has been highway miles, then I would probably do the fluid filter and fluid myself. But it is always a chance something could start acting up. It is best to change any trans fluid before 100,000. So it's tough to say. To me it depends on fluid color. Hope this helps. Have a Blessed Evening Friend. Justin

Hello Friend, Great Video. I enjoyed it because I own a 2021 2500 Ram Big Horn 6.7l Cummins with a 68RFE Tranny like you have. I was interested in doing exactly what you did and being that I've never done this before this video was very handy for me. I wanted to ask if you changed your stock thermal bypass? ATS Diesel Performance sells them for your transmission and I was wondering if that is what I think I saw on your truck. Those stock thermal bypass for the 68RFE tend to be faulty. If you did do you have an install video on it? Again thank you sir! You helped me.

Hello friend, I believe I put in 7.5 to 8 Qts of ATF4 mopar fluid. You check the transmission fluid level when it has warmed up and be sure to check it in neutral with engine running, level, parking brake on and wheels chocked for safety. Shift through all the gears to circulate the fluid and add until fluid level is correct. Being sure to check it in neutral and engine running. Hope this helps!

@@homegrowncountryhomeplace Hi, thanks for your reply. It's been 2 days since I've changed fluids and seems like I still am having trouble getting this right as its not very clear to me. Do I not check the level or fill at all while the engine is off? Because whenever I attempt to check and fill with the engine running and in neutral the fluid is all over the dipstick and I feel like the reading is not correct. In addition, when adding fluid it ends up just running down the fill hose for a while and gets all over the dipstick if I try to put it in and check.
@homegrowncountryhomeplace
@homegrowncountryhomeplace Жыл бұрын
So you want your engine running and in neutral. You have to wait a little before putting your dipstick back in after adding fluid. Keep wiping the dipstick clean and re-insert until you get a clear reading. Hope this helps. Let me know if this works.
@freddybob807
@freddybob807 Жыл бұрын
So with the engine off and cold, the fluid is between the two marks on the bottom and the two on the top. So I think there may be too much oil in there now!?!? Can the level be checked with the engine off or only while running and in neutral? This is so confusing to me.
@homegrowncountryhomeplace
@homegrowncountryhomeplace Жыл бұрын
Needs checked in neutral with engine running. You should get a clear reading if its been sitting for a while. Fluid level should be between cold and hot holes on dipstick. Hope this helps.

It's too bad Dodge did not have a drain plug on the pan....people pay $60000 plus for a 4x4 diesel and no drain plug on the tranny pan. How stupid is that? I changed mine out to an ATS Transmission Pan and I brought my oil temp down from 168°F to 128°F. It takes 5 more qrts oil ATF4 fluid. But since I tow a 5th wheel well worth bring temp down. Plus I now have a drain plug that also acts as the magnet.

I bought a PPE trans. pan but have not installed it yet. I also replaced the thermo block with an ATS and it dropped my trans temp a lot too! That is the only reason I haven't put my pan on yet. But I intend too before to long. Right now it runs as low as 109 degree towing in cold temps out West. Have a Blessed Evening Friend! Justin

Love your video. In depth and step by step. I saw a message about "relearning" the transmission. I change the transmission fluid in my 2019 Ram 4500 CC (aisin). After refilling I run through the gears and the CEL comes on. I use my scan tool...clear the code and it shifts like normal. When you shift through gears does yours throw a code as well?
@homegrowncountryhomeplace
@homegrowncountryhomeplace Жыл бұрын
Appreciate it. Mine has never throwed any codes after the filter and fluid change. Mine is a 68RFE so that might be the reason. But I don't know why the Asin would do that to be honest. Main thing is your able to clear the code. Have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin
