    Shutter on acceleration

    My question is this, how is Chrysler getting away with not letting its customers know that the 8-speed transmission in fact needs its fluid changed every 50-60k miles?? Class action??

    Shutter on acceleration

    FYI, I was experiencing shudder and hard shifts while in tow/haul mode. Fluid change and Shudder Fixx made a world of difference.

    Shutter on acceleration

    Picked up my truck today after the transmission fluid change. Felt some shuddering and hard shifts for about 20 miles or so, and then the truck started shifting like butter. I bought the truck in 2019 with 70,000 miles, and this is the smoothest the truck has ever shifted since I bought it...

    Ram 1500 acceleration issues

    After researching other forums, it sounds like we may both be experiencing early tranny issues. Sounds like others have had success using Lubegard Shudder Fixx.

    Ram 1500 acceleration issues

    WOW, I also have a 2014 Ram with the 8-speed tranny and 5.7 Hemi. I have the EXACT same issues. I noticed the 'blip' in RMPs a few months ago, and just this past weekend, I noticed the 'shudder' when accelerating up a hill. My truck has 112k miles. Have you had any luck resolving this issue? I...

    steering column rattle (brake pedal)

    Any luck? I have the same issue, when driving straight down the highway. Doesn't happen/rattle when I hit every bump, but I think it is getting worse.
