    8HP75 Transmission Service

    That's solid advice lol. For the final leveling step after you complete the shift procedure then just let the fluid drain in the window, I find the shifts are smoother when you let it drain until it's in the upper part of the range, 110-115*. I just never know if you're supposed to let it drain...

    8HP75 Transmission Service

    What temperature was the transmission at when you put the plug back in, and did you wait until the fluid started to drip individual drops or just a slow stream? Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    8HP75 Transmission Service

    With the pan levelled, shifts are more pronounced whereas, with the frame levelled, the shifts are smoother and a little quicker for me. I'm running my tune now which makes the shifts real snappy. With the pan levelled, the shifts are a little more exaggerated if that makes sense. Sent from my...

    8HP75 Transmission Service

    I've tried both ways and I enjoy the way it shifts more with the truck levelled than with the pan levelled. I just like seeing which method people choose. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    8HP75 Transmission Service

    I always like to ask because several on other forums swear by jacking the rear of truck way up to level the transmission pan rails as opposed to just leveling the frame which only slightly raises the rear when going through the final steps after the shift procedure.

    Did you raise the rear of the truck way up or keep the truck level when filling? Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    My PPE transmission pan: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    I bought a new gasket when installing the PPE pan, it was only like $20 and I'd rather have a new one in there anyway. I didn't use the collars either, just tightened the bolts without overdoing it and I've been leak free as well. I did, however, find it easier to jack up the rear of the...

    2019 RAM 1500 HEMI TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE

    The pans for the Rams are deeper, the BMW pans are flat on the bottom. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    2025 1500 with transmission issues/disappointing

    For what it's worth, I'm at 60K on my '19 and I've had these symptoms since new practically. I've tried leveling the fluid, performing quick relearns via AlfaOBD. Short of having the valve body switched out I think it is what it is at this point. The relearns help. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using...

    Tuner recommendations?

    Are you looking for just a handheld tuner or a custom tune? Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Trans service @100,000 miles??

    I changed mine at around 50K (just because) and swapped to a PPE pan. I didn't feel like messing with the exhaust and found it much easier to lift the transmission by removing the three mounting bolts and jacking up the rear of the transmission. I have jack extensions so those worked well. I may...

    Moes perf. Ported throttle body?

    I have the 87MM TB from Moe's Performance. I bought it with the intention of upgrading the rest of the exhaust system down the line.

    Moes perf. Ported throttle body?

    I have a tune, but a tune is not required to run the larger TB. It would compliment the tune however. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk

    Transmission pan removal/ exhaust pipe

    But you're tilting the back up, not raising it all together so the engine side of the drivetrain isn't really moving. I had to raise it even higher than you would with a stock pan because I installed a PPE pan and it still didn't move. Maybe I have the slowest TRX in existence lol. Sent from my...

    Transmission pan removal/ exhaust pipe

    I just did this yesterday and it worked perfectly. I found removing the bolts and raising the transmission was a much easier approach that messing with the exhaust. My exhaust did not move. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk
