So I may old and be slow on the uptake, but it seems to me that if your tranny failed at only 50K kilometers (aka 31K miles) you got a lemon. Then you blamed the fluid instead of the lemon tranny, and after getting the new tranny, began unnecessarily doing annual ATF changes.

They say trannies are like a box of chocolates, and sometimes you get one with a bug in it...

The transmission wasn't a lemon,you'll eventually figure out why it wasn't a lemon,but it might take you awhile,as you don't seem to be really quick on picking things up
I never blamed the fluid,i just figured it was cheaper to service it,and give it the best chance of surviving.
Like i said the light bulb will eventually turn on for you
Honestly dude you're really boring with what you think you know,and you do alot of assuming,maybe start reading more,before you assume something that has no revelance to the issue at hand applies
BTW: the fluid wasn't the issue,and never was ,the changing it yearly was more for piece of mind,and to keep track of how healthy the new transmission was
Let me guess you also don't think the diff or transfer case fluids need changing either

So the fluid wasn't the reason the transmission went out at only 31,000 miles, and he's not going to say why it went out, but he's going to say that everyone should change their fluid annually for peace of mind, with a whole bunch of emojis contaminating the post. Noted.

FFS people - change your fluid or don't change your fluid. Your transmission, your choice. Do what works for you. Seems simple enough.

Only you seem to think i said change the fluid yearly,i said " i " changed fluid yearly,but i never said anybody should change the fluid yearly,i said the average owner should follow ZF reconmendations,and their reconmendations is to change the fluid between 80,000 kilometers and 130,000 kilometers (seeing as how you don't comprehend kilometers,that's between 50,000 miles and 80,000 miles) or every 8 years ,which ever comes first.
You still haven't told us if you think changing fluids in the diffs or transfer case should be done,as the way i'm taking it,you think changing driveline fluids is a waste of time and money
BTW you're making me laugh more then anybody else has today, this is kind of fun,as you're doing a pile of guessing,and none of it's even remotely right,but keep it up,and i'll keep on laughing at you
The majority of guys on here know why my transmission went out,only you haven't figured it out,my reconmendation to you,is start reading,as i've stated why it went out many many times,only you can't seem to pick up on the issues i had.A little thinking and common sense on your part would work in your favour bigtime
I don't always agree with @BenchTest ,but on this issue i agree with him,it's your truck,do what you want with it,nobody really cares what you do

 

[tap4154]

Well I'm glad I gave you a laugh, and I'm glad that you don't care what I think. That's wonderful, and probably why you respond to every one of my posts LOL!. You have 22,000 posts here, and I'm not about to start reading all of them to find out why your transmission failed at only 31,000 miles. I'll just assume it was a lemon and move on...

While I was out a little while ago I ran by AutoZone and picked up a miniature air filter, designed for crankcase breathers. It's loose fitting on that 90° elbow, but with the hose clamp snugged it fits tight. Tucks in the area nicely, and is a fairly dense filter, though it is not restrictive at all.

So far that's the only intelligent thinking you've done. That's a good tip for alot of guys to think about
If you weren't such a condescending old fart who thinks he knows everything,i would of told you why my transmission went south,but your attitude towards everybody on here rankled me a bit,and meant you weren't gonna get much out of me.
Change your attitude and start listening more,and you'll get along alot better with everybody
BTW give up on your theory it was a lemon transmission,nothing could be farther from the truth,then what you're thinking,if anything it was an outstanding transmission,someday maybe i'll clue you into why

I do intelligent thinking every single day. That's been my job for the past 40 years, as a self-employed tradesman. Encountering problems, and solving them. Actually I did a great Improvement on my Ram the second day I owned it. I think I posted about it here. But you just react too much, I'm just teasing you.
