    Intermittent "sluggish start offs" from stand still.

    Has anyone come across this problem? My '05 Ram 3500 dully -- diesel, auto trans -- has recently got to where it takes a whole lot more throttle/RPM to get 'er going. It acts as if I am towing something really heavy, or as you'd expect if you were riding the brakes a bit. Once it gets going...

    What's the consensus on fluid change for 8 speed?

    What's the general consensus on changing the 8 speed transmission fluid? Should you attempt to change it or just trust that the fluid lasts a really long time? I don't know how sold I am on the idea of it being "lifetime fluid."
