    No 4th gear on 545rfe?

    Just finished doing a valve spring on my 04 5.7 and I went to test drive it and it won’t give me 4th. I think it’s due for a fluid change and that might be it but I don’t wanna ignore other more serious possibilities

    I have a 16 Ram 1500 with the 5.7. It currently is sitting at 76k miles. I don’t drive the truck much (about 7k - 10k miles a year). My question is with the truck being driven so little do I need to change the oil every 3-4 months vs waiting until my mileage is due? I do my own oil changes and...
