    Tranny oil change - 8 speed

    Regarding what fluid; I have a 2017 8 speed, Hemi, Crew and went with the Amsoil, changed it at 100k. It didn't seem to shift smooth at first. Had to take it to the dealer and they did a "Re-learn" with their scanner. Took about 300 miles to learn my driving habits.. Ever since the re-learn she...

    Lifter failure!

    I feel your concern, also have a 2017 with 185000 miles. Hemi tick has been there for the last 85000 miles on mine. Dealer says it's normal and it's just a bad design....I used Ultra platinum 5W20 with a Mobil 1 filter up to about 165000 then switched to Redline 5W20. The extra Moly in the...

    Best tires without mpg loss?

    Agree, 100% Falken Wildpeak AT/3's (Made in Buffalo, NY). I have 117k on my '17 Big Horn Hemi Crew and get 21/22 mpg's on the highway/toll roads. Rotate them every oil change. Hated the SRA's, had Cooper AT/W's which were good but not as good as Falken. Very Smooth on highway, great response in...
