I was looking to see if there was a diy for the tranny fluid and filter change on a 3rd gen, I have yet to pick up a service manuel yet for my truck. I couldn't really find a DIY all I really need personally is the tourque spec for the pan bolts but I am curious if anyone has posted a DIY yet? Thanks in advance!

 

Couldn't tell you about the tq specs but I just did mine 2 weeks ago when I did the tq converter.

 

Just remember that there are 2 filters in the pan, and the flat one of the two is a different shape depending on if you have a 2wd or 4wd truck.

 

There sure is...

Pan bolt torque specs: 105 in/lbs (at least for an '03). As you may know, you'll need lotsa newspaper. It's a messy job, but easy enough.

 

I made sure to get the right filter for 4wd as well as the spin on one,I think I'll pick up a haynes manual just cause I need one anyways. Thanks Guys!

 

Here is the DIY I followed when I changed my tranny fluid http://www.60ateight.com/DodgeRam/

 

Shadow thanks, Did you happen to read sudnit5's post 3 posts above yours?

 

And I tell you now as I read and seen where guys snapped those pan bolts. I went to Lowes and got Grade 5 replacement bolts and didnt snap a single one going back up. You will need a mechanics pick set (comes in a pack of 4 diff hooks for about $10) to get that one o-ring out for the flat filter. You will need a set of fuel line quick disconnects for theat trans line up by the radiator also. To do the pan and trans it is 17qrts

 

Nothing came up when I clicked on his link so sorry if I posted the same thing.
