Transmission fluid change.

What ever makes you sleep better at night. The dealership is NOT telling the truth it being sealed and lifetime which means it's a lie. They're covering their a$$ until out of warranty. Enjoy!

The dealership is saying exactly what their manufacturer tells them to say. Be angry at Ram, not the dealership in this case, and this is coming from a guy that hates dealerships.

I'm not hating on anybody, that's your assumption. I'm letting others know the truth, which is, it's not sealed or lifetime. Enough said. NEXT!

You literally said they lied to him.

Can you not even read? I never said you were hating on anyone.

Who builds the transmission? Here is a hint, Stellantis/Ram doesn't buy transmission assemblies for these trucks.

Ram does both, they built the V6 transmission in house while purchasing the V8 transmissions.

Stellantis only builds the 850RE (formally 845RE) under license from ZF (8HP45 / 8HP50) at Kokomo.

Stellantis buys the 8HP70 / 8HP75 / 8HP95 from ZF who builds them at facilities in South Carolina and Germany

Did you end up changing the fluid yet?
I bought the blauparts package to do it but havent performed it yet.

I got hung up when i saw them jack up the tranny in a shop...
I didnt plan on that.

Let me know if you tackled it yet

I dropped the Y-pipe, gave enough room to remove the pan, no need to jack up the tranny in my case.
Wire brush and "BP blast" the heck out of the y-pipe to manifold bolts and the down pipe hardware.
A long T40 bit will save the day.
