    6 Speed Transmission overheat - fluid change and now...

    I have a 2014 1500 4x4 with the 5.7 Hemi and 6 speed, 96,000+ miles. I do a fair amount of light towing (Scout trailer, robotics trailer, RZRs), I believe that the previous owner did similar. I towed my car hauler with my RZR and my dad's quad about a 1/2 hour through some light hills between...

    545RFE Transmission going out. What route to take? Experiences?

    I threw a check engine light, checked the code on the truck. The code I got was p0933, transmission hydraulic low pressure sensor. Truck was driving fine still. So I took it to the dealer, typically I do everything myself, but I was on a time crunch and am driving 1600 miles over the next few...

    Transfer Case/Transmission Problems?

    When I put my Dodge 2008 Ram 1500 4 wheel drive auto trans in 4 wheel drive, the "Service 4 wheel drive" light came on. I have 82,000 miles on it. On my way home on the freeway, the engine sped up and went into neutral. I pulled over and the truck would not move forward or backward. So I put it...

    Mechanical Differences Between 1500 and 2500?

    I have just purchase a rolled 2003 1500 parts truck so I can put the low mileage 5.7 hemi into my 2003 2500. I understand the major differences (frame, axles, suspension, ride height and quality), but my question is, what are some of the smaller mechanical things you might not think about...

    I overfilled my Transmission

    I made the mistake of trying to add a bit of transmission fluid to my truck ('98 2500 5.9L gas V8) early in the morning while still 3/4 asleep. I used a galleon jug of ATF and poured WAY more in than I should, hopped in and drove off. Within a few miles, I realized it wouldn't shift past 2nd...

    Transmission overheated - possibly still running above normal?

    Hello, everyone! This is my first post here and I'm hoping to get some ideas. I'm pretty sure the answer will be to take it to the dealer, but I'm hoping to get at least some insight. I'm okay mechanically so I suspect I'll understand most of any responses. Sorry for the long post but here...

    HD Guys, Is The 66RFE A Good Transmission Unlike The 65/545/45??

    Reason I'm asking is because if I do a trans swap in my 3rd gen as a part of a performance build, I WANT a TRUE 6-speed with decent ratios and the ability to hold some good power. From all of my reading and deductions thereof, a 66RFE seems like a good choice. Good gear spread, true 6 speed...

    Aisin over the 68RFE Transsmision

    I'm looking to get a new truck we tow a 15,000# 5th wheel. Is the Aisin transsmission worth the extra money? Since the 68RFE unlocks during shifts it makes me wonder if it can't handle all of the power coming out of the Cummins. Since I plan to keep this truck for probally 15 years I want to...

    Engine Swap Help

    Swapped out 5.7 Hemi out of my 2014 Ram 1500 and replaced with another 5.7 out of a 2017. Everything went in fine until got the transmission. Can't get it to line up to bolt in. Looks like the torque converter may be preventing it from flushing up against the motor. Does the converter need to...
