I'm sure you know by now but they make a wobbly socket that will fit in that area for the 4 bolts. Once they are loose, you can actually use a clear hose that will fit over the heads to remove those screws. Overall, I think this is a pretty straight forward job if you keep track of the fluid you take out. When you take the filter out, you can angle to filter slightly down an let the remaining liquid slowly drip in a pan. Nice job!
Those metal flakes were not sticking to the magnets so I would say they may have been done from the housing. Their housings are molded and when cleaned they may not have cleaned out the housing enough and the transmission fluid may have never been changed before. I like the side steps as it keeps the trash and rock salt blocked from hitting the sides of the truck.
I appreciate that I don’t have to take out my filter till 60,000 miles soon as I get 20,000 miles. I’m gonna put Amsoil transmission fluid and run it for 40,000 miles
You need to do swap out that thermostat valve in the trans line to a rexmax or ats bypass My 2500 went from 180 trans temp on a normal day drive not towing to 140 150 temps on a 90 degree day... transmission life saver....
This Aisin doesn’t have the fail components of the 68RFE though when it gets hot. In a winter state I wouldn’t feel comfortable driving around with trans fluid that would take forever to heat up, if it ever heats up. If I tow heavy and I mean heavy, if I see the temps to hot I’ll definitely do it. But under or around 220 is perfect. In fact it needs to be little hot, like 175. I’m not sure 140’s healthy either. I think most swap it when the oem fails closed and you can’t get the fluid to flow up front to the front mount cooler. That’s when it really over heats and breaks the 68RFE.
Correct. I saw that. Was low when cold but normal when hot so not a huge deal but I wonder if that’s why they overfill them and people even need a recall done for over filled and Ram says it’s a fire hazard
So could you just remove the three nuts to the trans mount and lift the back of the transmission just enough to give you clearance for a 1/4" drive wobbley socket??
Answering my own question... Just finished and YES just grab a 16mm Socket undue the 3 trans mount nuts lift the back of the transmission about an inch or so grab the 1/4" drive wobbly and your good to go.
Yeap, if you want to see what your undoing go to rock auto look up your trans mount you can see exactly how the mount is configured . I just wanted to be sure I wasn't loosening up & removing a BOLT & nut. If your lying on your back & you can talk someone into it, have them on the other side of truck to help R&R the pan bolts & hold the pan up there. Easy!
Amsoil makes a great (but expensive) product! One thought though...aren't you supposed to check the fluid with the vehicle running (pretty sure you are)? That would probably make a difference on the dipstick fluid level, right? May still be over filled though... Also, when you filled with only 9 qts. I'm pretty sure it's also due to some of the fluid still remaining inside the torque converter as well as the trans. cooler.
@@dt9094 none that I ever heard of but I’m not great with autos. You’d think there would be a away but I’d also think if they don’t over heat it’d last forever.
@@Cumminsss No definitely need 2. 13.7qt if you drained it all like the cooler. I only did the trans so it was over 7qt so you could buy the gallon and buy individual quarts.
Jesus man, at what point do you stop and wonder if you’re doing something wrong. Even a cursory search of other filter change videos would show how to drop that pan without taking the truck apart. I can’t tell if you’re going for an ironic angle because the whole time you’re talking shit about people not paying attention to instructions/detail and yet…this.

Yeah that could be. I should of tested to see if they were steel or aluminum! Erin voted on the steps too! Little legs haha.
Always a good idea to measure what you take out and put the same back in when it’s NOT overfilled 😂
Correct. When it’s not haha

Sounds like a plan 👍. Filter makes a mess!!

Double check, but if I remember correctly, the trans recall was only on the Chrysler transmission.
should be running when checking flued level

Just about to do mine glad I seen your comment

@@flash8051 yes all 100% correct. Level was good luckily. I think I added a hair to it a few days later while running.
Don’t put gas in it😂
So the converter has the old stuff still in!, I was wondering if they have access to the converter drain?
@@dt9094 none that I ever heard of but I’m not great with autos. You’d think there would be a away but I’d also think if they don’t over heat it’d last forever.
What year is your truck? I thought they didn't have a dipstick anymore?
@@SteveCallsen 2022
3500 6.7's Cab and chassis come standard with the Aisin.
Makes sense. Idk why the 68RFE is even an option for a 3500!
Did you just need the one jug of AMSOIL??
@@Cumminsss No definitely need 2. 13.7qt if you drained it all like the cooler. I only did the trans so it was over 7qt so you could buy the gallon and buy individual quarts.
@ okay, yeah I’m not doing it all just filter, and filling it back up.
gotcha. i think its like 7.2 then

You realize manufacturers have special tools for a reason right? And there’s more than 1 way to skin a cat. Jesus man just think.
WOBBLE SOCKET!!! 1/4”
Idk if that’d fit either. I should of used a short socket to the skinny shaft of the 1/4” would of fit. At least I saw someone else try that.
Amsoil is the absolute best.
@@fsb_-bf3th I still use Redline for racing. 😁
@neckofthewoods24 definitely another good option. Check out the amsoil dominator series
will do
