    If you have a 8HP70 Trans and have had a shudder...Please tell us how you fixed it

    Yes, trans leveled and running between fluid temp 86-122 degrees temp, basically per the ZF recommended way of checking fluid level.

    Sure, used a plastic bottle with a curved straw and drew out 2 oz and then used it to add back the contents of the shudder fix via the fluid level plug, Its a pain but doable.

    Hey Jeepwalker, yeah I took it to a reputable trans shop, they said the T/C was slipping and the pump was going as it was cavitating. I had did the pan dropped and fluid fill 3 times prior but the damage was done. Just got the truck back this morning and it drives like new, no slip, no...

    If you have a 8HP70 Trans and have had a shudder...Please tell us how you fixed it

    Hi all, Just wanted to report back again, the shudder returned and this time much sooner. February 2023 till now, I knew I was just buying time till I could replace it. The trans started downshifting harder and I could also hear the trans pump whining like it was cavitating. 159K currently on...

    2014 Ram 1500 8 Speed Question.

    I used to have this as an issue, still happens occasionally, I have gotten used to it, but I did take to the dealership early on and there was a software update they did that was supposed to remedy the harshness of the downshift clunk into 1st gear when rolling to a stop. Look into that if...

    It did start out with cold trans at first, then eventually it didn’t matter what temperature it would shuttered after every shift.

    If you have a 8HP70 Trans and have had a shudder...Please tell us how you fixed it

    Hi all, Just got the chance to put in two tubes of the lubegard instant shutter fix and the shutter and RPM surge is now gone. I don't know how long it will last but if you have explored all other options, give it a try. I will keep using it as needed until the trans is replaced. I realized that...

    Hi all, just an update since my first post in Feb 2021 on this post, the shudder did return and the rpm surge is as well. I have changed the pan and fluid and did a second drain and fill and still have the shudder and rpm surge. I just bought some more Lubegard shudder fix and will add soon...

    Need help with rpm surge

    Well, I did a second drain and fill and still the same, I am getting more shudder after 3rd, 4th and 5th gears now, and the RPM surge is dang near all the time. I am thinking of doing one more drain and fill and then see what happens. The shudder after shifts is driving me nuts with the RPM surge.

    Need help with rpm surge

    I’m having the same exact issue, rpm surge, 100-150 rpm jump, in any gear. It only used to do it until hot but now is continuous. Mine also does it under load, I have changed pan and did one fill, going to do another soon then a final one after. Unfortunately mine is still doing this. Hopefully...

    2014 Quad Cab Laramie Speaker Upgrade Recommendations?

    Did you by chance run an amp or are they straight from the head unit? I have the 8.4 non amplified system. I wished I had seen your post before ordering my IR speakers, I ordered the Reference 6532ix 6.5's for the front doors because Crutchfield said they wouldn't fit the 6x9

    UConnect system has gone crazy and the screen is de-laminating - 2018 1500 NIGHT EDITION CREW CAB 4X4

    Yes they did, they switched from Harman to Panasonic in 2017 and they were really bad. Blue screens of death and delamination was common.

    Sirius Radio “Acquiring Signal”

    I had same issue and replaced the shark fin. I also have Nav and that would not work so I knew the antenna was bad. They are known to go bad.
