Thank you.

I see no gasket for the main screw on that one, did it come with one on yours?

I see a gasket on this one here:


Thanks

 

If the truck has had only one ATF change for 255K, it's probably a good chance that the tranny is worn out. I wish you luck but just being realistic. I'd change the fluid twice, driving in between... also the ATF filter/s. The additive would probably be wasted if there is no response to two drains. If it does look favorable, do a third.

When you first pull off the pan, buy a cheap universal drain plug kit, drill a hole at the lowest point and install it. Mine is a TCI 905900 Universal Drain Plug Kit. Mark the lowest point while the pan is still on the truck. When you get the pan off, drill with 28/64" bit. Don't torque too tight as the plastic washer is fragile. Whenever I loosen the drain plug, I hold the receptacle bolt in place with another wrench, so things don't shift. I drain every 25K now.

Good luck.

 

Very happy with my B&M pan as well. Extra capacity and cooling as well as a port for a temp sensor, which I have since installed. Well worth it. Would also recommend deleting the check valve in the cooler line.

 

Truck had a rebuild tranny i think was around 165.000 miles and from that time i think the oil was replaced ones more. The slipping happens once in a while like 2,3 weeks ago i notice something one time, and then way before that , so
is not a everyday problem , but i was going to replace a new fluid and filter and try to put a screw in oil pan for easy access for next time in case i want to replace only the oil.

Now the lowest point will by the engine or to the rear of the tranny? looks like is all level to me.

Thank you for all advice friend!

 

Yes, I that will be nice but i think they are around $160 for one i think...Hmm, maybe later may do it.

 

Flux ore works, but, the welds are ugly. If it can use gas as well, go that route, the welds are MUCH nicer.

 

Yes, is for Gas also , have to buy the gas and better wire and also the regulator gauges, but for sure is better weld.

 

Well you're going to be up on ramps, or have it jacked up anyway when draining, so drill the hole towards rear of pan... as in closest to rear of truck. I found the lowest point because I like to lower it while draining but I eyeballed it on this Dak. Maybe you can spray some water on the pan and see where it drips from the most.

The problem with the aftermarket plugs is that they protrude maybe over a quarter inch inside drain pan so they don't drain as effectively, but they do the job. I added a bunch of extra magnets in the bottom of pan for good measure, while I had it off.

 

Thanks for that info.
Now regarding the magnets , are those any magnets or they must be specially for Ram's trannys? I don't see many on ebay where i look.
