definitely notice way less shift flare. holds gear a bit longer, not quite so quick to get to the highest gear possible.
Thanks, those all sound like positive changes!definitely notice way less shift flare. holds gear a bit longer, not quite so quick to get to the highest gear possible.
Zip tie a bag around the end of a dipstick, if it starts puking oil, it will go in the bag, that is until RAM figures out a fix.
Wouldn't the bag melt under there?
Don't know how close the dipstick is to anything hot. Mine is Aisin
yea its ruthless out there right now with pricing and rates. The accord I got has a 5.9% interest, going to have to keep an eye on rates and see if someone drops low enough to refinance.I admit I wanted the engine and was forced to accept the wrapper it came in. I’m now three recalls in and a def problem that keeps putting me in limp mode. Every manufacturer has their issues, but I spent 3/4 of a million miles staring out of a Ford and was never left walking. This is the second dodge that has left me walking. Frankly, I hope the damn thing catches fire so I can go back to Ford. Save your Ram love and bye Felicia’s. Thanks to interest rates and insanely high acquisition costs, I’m in this marriage for years to come.
Well at least now you could brag about the fuel mileage.yea its ruthless out there right now with pricing and rates. The accord I got has a 5.9% interest, going to have to keep an eye on rates and see if someone drops low enough to refinance.
I get having a recall but the third broke the camels back for me.
Sorry about your luck, but if you bought an Accord, sounds like you didn’t really need an HD truck anyways. I’ve have great luck with my Hondas and Acura’s!!yea its ruthless out there right now with pricing and rates.

Pretty much, plans went down the drain for it so it wasn't a major loss for me but others aren't so lucky.Sorry about your luck, but if you bought an Accord, sounds like you didn’t really need an HD truck anyways. I’ve have great luck with my Hondas and Acura’s!!

I’m gonna guess it’s as simple as the vent assembly on top of the transmission.This has come up in a couple of other threads and even though it may do what it says, it is way overpriced. With my driving and smaller TT, I hope the likelihood of it happening is almost not there. I wonder if the dealer can make you do the recall? It seems like a fix will require opening up the transmission and mucking around and then putting it all back together perfectly. I am way more concerned about our local dealer doing that correctly! But maybe it is not a big deal, even for a less experience tech? Still, our dealer does not inspire confidence and is so understaffed, $100.00 or making your own "doomsday divice" may be a better option for people here in our city. I suppose I can also wait until the dealer has done several with the hope that they get better with experience. But someone pointed out the possibility that the first few may be done by their best techs with the rookies watching. Then with a later fix, it will be the luck of the draw and you may get a tech opening up their 1st transmission.
That would be great!I’m gonna guess it’s as simple as the vent assembly on top of the transmission.
