All I wanted for the day after Xmas was to:
change out my dif and t-case fluids, install my mudflaps and change my sparkplugs.
So start at the bottom let the engine and heads cool while we do the fluids and mudflaps
Difs were no problem, but the t-case...hmmm
In prep for this I consulted:
This board, Thanks guys! great info.
Owners manual, which says I need BW 44-44 oil like you all posted.
So Armed with my vin and I also crawled under my truck in the parking lot at the dealer parts, I went inside. long story short even tough I told him I had a 44-44 T-case he gave me 2 qts of 44-40 fluid which I did not notice until I had drained my t-case yesterday. pretty simple red fluid came out so this clear , thin stuff shouldn't go in. Holiday so no ones open. Also the mudflaps I bought did not fit either, and I did not get to the spark plugs.
So I had to drive my Charger in the rain today.
the parts guy insisted he gave me the right stuff based on the vin. I review the above with him, and he actually asked me to go look....I remind him I cant go look, the truck is not drivable... After much discussion, he went back to a 2013 and got me the right fluids, and took back the mudflaps.
SO he thinks got a "leftover from 13" T-case. I think his computer program is a POS.
HMMMM, the red stuff I got says BW-44-44 44-45, etc. PRE 2016.
SO for those of you who are going to the dealer be careful, your vin and owners manual may not get you the right fluid.
He did say if I brought him the BW PN off of the case he would try to figure out the problem.
For me, Ill be back in business about ten min after I get home.
Can anyone make a recommendation for some mud flaps that might actually fit?
And how was our day after Christmas?
