Greetings all !
I recently acquired a 2018 1500 Tradesman quad-cab Hemi with 54K.
I’m doing a deep dive into all aspects of these RAMs and am thus far impressed !
BUT… can anyone tell where or how to get a Chaulk04 valve ??

Welcome from Ontario Canada.

Here ya go.... @caulk04 works with this top tier distributor for his custom designed and engineered transmission cooler bypass valve.

** Get both the bypass valve and the aluminum replacement plug as well.


Fantastic service from this distributor, too.

Also consider a PPE aluminum transmission pan as it holds more fluid and has a replaceable filter.
Only use MOPAR or Valvoline MaxLife transmission fluid as well.

AND.........

Follow these refill instructions to a "T"!
Very, very important!!

Ditto to everything covered by CanuckRam1313.

If you're interested in some cool tweaking and customizing opportunities, scan the AlfaOBD thread.
Read the first 2 pages and then continue reading backwards from the end for the latest and greatest information.

The preferred security gateway bypass harness for 2018+ trucks.


OBDLink Mx+ is the preferred OBD2 interface.
