Not surprising, I called my local dealer TWICE to get a quote and schedule service. They never called me back. I was fully resigned to getting financially violated by them just to have it be done.I just brought my 18’ Ram to the dealer at 105k miles and asked them to do the transmission service. They said it’s not required, ever. I was surprised considering I was going to pay for it. But they said “Dodge does not recommend ever changing the fluid on the 8 speed”. Seems hard to believe
Not getting a callback (twice) gave me the resolve to DIY, and posts from members here gave me the confidence to do it myself.
@Wild one has posted a green instructions sheet throughout this site. Follow it.
Here's what my fluid looked like at 106K miles:
P.S. - NO towing or heavy hauling, either. Your truck, your call.
