Default Trani Slipping in Cold Weather??

Doesn't get cold in Florida that often, but these past days have been in the 40's and 50's. For some reason my trani started slipping, any ideas???? Thanks for the help.

Check your fluid level in the tranny. It has to be at operating temp so do it after you've done some driving around. Also park on a level surface run the shifter through your gears and put it in neutral (don't forget the E-Brake) then check the level. If you need more fluid only use ATF+4 anything else and you'll toast your tranny.

PFB:

While you are at it, how many miles and what year is your D??? All Durango trannys should be serviced every 30k. If you do have it serviced, only permit a drain/refill with filter change. Flushes are bad news for these D trannies.

Also as recomended with the fluid/filter change, is the band adjustment. What rig is that ? (year model)
