    Service axle locker

    Lets revive this one, Today I had this error come up on my truck twice. Both times when braking and coming to a complete stop. The message instantly goes out and I have engaged the rear axle lock and it still works. 2020 Ram 5.7 1500 4x4 with 76k

    8HP75 Transmission Service

    That's pretty interesting in the difference in shifts between the 2 different leveling procedures. I did mine with the pan leveled....When doing it the instructions stated to level the pan but in my head I thought to myself if someone did this on a lift it would just have the frame leveled. I...

    Transmission fluid change?!

    I only did that on the initial fill, Once it was running and up to temp I had to manually hold the filler neck inside the fill hole and add the fluid while keeping the hose away from the exhaust

    B&M 70395 8HP75 transmission pan DID NOT FIT my 2020 ram 5.7

    3/1/25 Update, Installed the PPE pan today.... went much smoother than my original try LOL. The install was a breeze because I already had everything apart and knew what to expect. A few notes... Order a new pan gasket, Instructions say to reuse the old one but I felt better using a new one...

    TRX cab mounts on non TRX trucks?

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

    That makes sense, If they wont sit perfectly flush the gasket wont be compressed enough. I wont be installing them into my pan

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

    I ordered a new gasket for it, I am going to do like all the other have and just bolt the pan on without the flange collars from the old pan

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

    I bought a new OEM pan gasket and installed that into the pan and thought to myself "damn those holes in the pan look big" lol. Once I get the stock pan off ill see how hard they are to come out, if they fight me Ill do what you did and bolt up and torque it down haha.

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

    The holes in the PPE pan appear to be huge for the stock bolts, The stock pan looks to have steel inserts in the pan. While reading the directions for the PPE pan it refers a few times to the "stock flange collars" and I was assuming it was those? I could be wrong tho

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

    Question to the OP, in the instructions it says to retain the stock bolts and flange collars for the install of the new pan. Do the flange collars simply press out of the old pan? I am hopefully installing my PPE pan next weekend

    Transmission fluid change?!

    I just went through this trying to install a B&M pan on my truck. If there was any good excuse for longtube headers and a dual exhaust the transmission pan makes a very good case for them LOL I routed my fill pump hose over the exhaust and then zip tied around the hose/exhaust and that way the...

    B&M 70395 8HP75 transmission pan DID NOT FIT my 2020 ram 5.7

    Next step started today, After days of shipping delays because of weather (Palermo, NY which is 1/2 hour from me received 101" of snow in 7 days LOL) I finally received the PPE pan. It also looks like a very nice piece, Unlike the B&M pan which requires some assembly before the install, the PPE...
