whats gotta be done, the trans is slipping and has been so i figure its not anything major or it would have died by now, so what are the torque specs on the bands?

 

Crank the adjuster screws it to 72 INCH pounds, and then back them off some specified number of turns. Spec for that should be in the service manual.

 

Some one needs a Haynes and to download the free FSM. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...e-manuals.html

 

i got the manual but i forgot it at home haha im at my buddies house about 15mins away and dont wanna burn the gas to drive back home to get it

 

I have the manual on me what yr is ur truck

 

Do like HeyYou says and back off 2 turns. IIRC, that is what MonteC suggests.I could be wrong, Do a search or go get the manual, because I don't want to be responsible for your tranny blowing up.

 

As far as the manual goes, back off front band 2 7/8 turns. Back band 2 turns.

 

its 2001

any idea what torque bit it is?

 

it a TORX bit...sometimes called a star bit.... Chrysler /jeep dodge has been using them for over a decade now....
I'm adjusting my bands today also to eliminat any of the easy stuff before taking it to a shop where the answer is almost always "You need a rebuild".
