Book shows a 30K mile band adjustment. Dealership even ran off the band adjustment specs for me. Since it was a new 6 speed auto with the 6.7 Diesel 250, that came out in the middle of the yr , was the truck manual wrong plus the dealer wrong? I see online that they state that this tranny needs no band adjustments. Some help would be appreciated.

 

iam not a trans expert but. i think a band adjustment cant hurt. i think the right fluid is ATF +4. but check your owners manual. you might think about this EXTERNAL filter.
use ONLY steel brake lines. copper WILL break off. the factory uses steel for a reason!!!! mopar most use 3/8 dia tube, but some might be 5/16. i think most have the fluid in at the rear left side. here is an EXTERANL filter, i found. have one on my 01 dak. my idea is when you put a new filter in side this one will help from having to do the inside one as often.*
the old auto zone 2210 magenfine filter is no longer available at auto zone. BUT i did find the same thing as JX-160 brand-- ATP. at a real parts house uses 3/8" tube. a JX-150 for 5/16 tube. ONLY use high pressure hose. If you must. SAE J1019 217 psi working. NOT fuel hose for a carb engine.

 

I agree with you but does this first new 6 speed auto really have band adjustments and if so can you tell me where I can actually look up the specs for the 68RFE tranny?

 

should be a fully electronic one from what I understand the RFE to mean.
