i have a problem now i put enough fluid in it yesterday ended up taking 6.5Qs but now when i check the dip stick it a reading thats its dry again all i did was go to work and come home and there isnt a puddle of fluid under my truck so now i dont know what the hell is going on. but if i check it when its in park it reads that it has enough fluid in it. Does anyone have any clue what could be the problem

 

Look for signs of a leak on the trans... fresh fluid anywhere might be an indication.

 

Yep. In park, these transmission are not circulating fluid throughout the system, making it appear to be full as all of the fluid is sitting in the pan. Ignore park.....check in neutral. I now....defies any previous knowledge and experience with checking fluid in an auto tranny....but this is Dodge!

 

its crazy i added not even half of a quart and it is reading in the OK area now. i guess i must have a slow leak somewhere

 

Sling Mud: Perhaps this will answer your fluid level question. Check this site, http://my.att.net/p/s/community.dll?...pid=404015&ck= ,then go Dod Ram Info, next 46re trans rebuild, next 46 re manual, next Page 70. Chart shows fluid level vs temp. Quite a differance.

Did you find a torque value for the filter bolts???

Thanks

 

The stick on these things is a PITA to read. Check it again in a couple days, if it's ok, your good to go. If it's low again, check the transfer case fluid level.
