hey guys i was just wondering what you guys recommend running for tranny and diff fluids and how much each takes, mines due for a change and i don't have an owners manual for the truck so i cant tell how much they need.

btw 2000 dak, with the 4.7l v-8 45rfe tranny and an lsd diff

thanks
matt

 

redline atf4 tranny fluid about 6 quarts give or take and a set of filters and pan gasket from napa auto probably close to $100 for that there. and 75w-90 gear oil between 1 and 2 quarts for the rear end I used red line for that too its about the best oil on the market. Its expensive but you can trust it

 

.... and be sure to add friction modifier to the diff fluid for your LSD.

 

i did the rear end yesterday, i used 75w-90 valvoline hard driving or something like that and an additive and it helped a lot the lsd is not locking and not spinning one wheel anymore. i'm also doing a 180 degree thermostat and removing my clutch fan tomorrow and tie rod ends, so the tranny is gonna have to wait til next weekend.

thanks for the help guys

 

when you do the tranny, just get all the stuff from dodge.. i personally dont trust anything else out there, especially the tranny filters.. remember micron ratings.. cheaper the filters, poorer the rating = more crap bypassing the filter into the transmission
