Thank you for your vital information. Is there a video available how to replace the transmission oil for a 2-wheel drive?
Ram 1500 2012 5,7 L Big Horn Nearby 100,00 Miles 2 wheel drive
I have a 2016 Ram 1500 big horn 5.7 4x4 hemi and I can’t find the transmission dip stick
It isn’t in that spot? So where else could I check transmission fluid at?
Hello I'm about to be a new owner of a 2011 dodge ram 1500 with 133,814 miles first time ever owning a pick up and want to say thank you im learning a lot from watching your videos.
430k here. Just oil changes, tie rod ends and now a wheel bearing 2010 Ram 1500
on the first transmission? I know they are good transmissions.
What engine ?
@@frivera735
Many are caused by long idle times which fleet vehicles are prone to. Low oil pressure at idle seems to be the culprit. There are good videos out there by professional hemi techs who recommend changing to the high volume oil pumps which in your case might be too late. Don’t purchase lease returns hemi’s
Wait till that camshaft goes out buddy, as soon as you hear any knock, get the roller bearings looked at and replaced, believe me sir, want to saved me $2800
52k miles here, just oil changes so far
I've yet to find a shop that is this thorough. Even the dealership doesn't do this. Hopefully this guy works for a shop and they pay him Good money.
This is basic driver responsibility. I'm pretty sure the manual will tell you to do most of this daily or weekly... Of course, nobody does it that frequently, but every driver should know how to so it.
Great and very informative video.. I’m a Ram owner and I’m glad you are making these videos to help us with the maintenance. If you keep making videos like these, I’ll keep watching and sharing them.
just did plugs on mine at 128k and 9/16 were original and one rotted coil now she runs like a dream again
Len is my favorite. His video on replacing the front struts helped me replace mine. Even got myself a big fabulous hammer! Keep up the vids Len!!
Right on! Congrats on joining the BFH club! We have a few hammer sets if it needs a friend! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
I just used one if there vids to change my passenger side low beam. And Im as close to retarded without being retarded as it gets.
@@randyvillegas9413 LOL
2012 with 248,000 on it today! Regular oil changes! 4th set of tires. Had some issues EARLY on... like power window was very slow, sticks in the cold... manifold gaskets replaced, AC fixed (something that required the dash come off), something with the Trans (a few times, same thing, put the truck in limp mode, other time left me in the street needing tow). I've replaced the suspension, breaks and rotors 4 times, Headlamp wire harness, both front wheel bearing, a bad coil.... but, I've never changed the radiator coolant, or any of the differentials, or any of that other stuff and she is driving me down the road. I want to get 300k out of it. It doesn't owe me anything. I'll get something pretty again after that!
Purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 2 months ago at 37k miles so this video helped a lot.
Excellent and informative video. Concise information without the fluff. I'll be using this guide for my 2021 Ram. Keep up the excellent work!
This is a very informative video and it helps me to understand what my 2018 Ram 1500 Longhorn will need to have done in the next year. My truck currently has over 81K miles, and I am scheduled for the 80,000 mile service in 3 weeks.
Loving these Ram videos!!! Makes me want to work on truck all day!
Great video. I check most of this weekly but the more in depth stuff I’ve got scheduled when I hv the spare $$. Thanks again.
Incredible video! I'd love to see more of these service style videos.
+Dillan Boutin Thanks for the feedback! We will keep this suggestion in mind.
I always trust 1A videos, best on the web. my tip is to always wipe the trans dipstick clean at the top before pulling it out. keeps debris from entering the tube.
Thank you for the brief yet concise video! I just purchased a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 with 139K on it and will have a buddy of mine who's a great mechanic give it a thorough inspection. These pointers definitely help me in deciding what to possibly replace...especially the engine and tranny fluids.
How well has it held up for you so far?

@@jonathansauceda21nothing yet, old post tho can't expect too much 😂
Thank you very much! Fits my gen 4 perfectly...even a v6 great tips and always appreciated!

i did al my servicing at 88,000 learned a few more things from here!! thank you!!
Great video, very informative and easy to understand. He's literally working on my exact truck. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing!
This guy is awesome. Thanks for making such great videos on servicing vehicles!
Thanks for watching!
2017 here with 40,000miles. Been great so far. Planning to do the 8hp70 fluid at 60,000miles with a new pan.
update on your truck? i had a 2017 and had a lifter go out at about 80,000 miles
@hunterellis5628 sitting pretty at 80,000miles. Needed a new starter since then. For the 8hp70, I used a ppe pan with valvoline maxlife. Do you idle? I have about 12% idle time.
We have a Ram, Tahoe and Mazda 3. I refer to your vids before I do any routine or necessary maintenance on them. Very clear and detailed info.
Awesome rundown. Just hit 100k not too long ago. Gonna tackle this on my next set of days off along with a few minor issues
I just want to say, really good video, informative, and in detail that I feel others would overlook, and even pointers. Thank you.
I want this guy working on my truck. Luv guys that have passion for their craft
They didn't do one on the 2007 model. Its because it was the best year ever built truck. Had one. Quad cab, lone star, 4x4, hemi, upgraded chip from the dealer, black pearl paint, 60-40 bench with double console, possitrac, upgraded sound system. Thing was a beast. Can't find them anywhere.
I have this generation Ram 1500, so this video is perfect for me. 🇨🇦👍🏼
unreal how useful this stuff is. len you da man
Thank you!
I love this guy you're taking your time explaining all items SUPERB JOB ! 👍
A few things to note....the 09-12 rams have copper spark plugs that have to be done every 30,000 miles and the coolant is 5 years, 100,000 miles for those same years. The 13 and up had some changes to make the maintenance interval longer. Also, i never flush my transmission. Just drain and refill and new filter. My 09 manual says to change trans fluid at 10 years, 120,000 miles but i do it sooner.
Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
I have a 2010and didn't change my plugs til I hit 100,000miles. It didn't have any running issues....I have the newer style spark plugs in it now.
Just here to say that my '09 Ram spark plugs were first done at 186,000 miles when I started to get a misfire. 😂
I always check the ball joints by jacking the wheel up by the bottom of the lower control arm. With the wheel hanging down, puts more tension on the ball joints, you might not catch a bad ball joint in its early stages.
Im at 200k, with a 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7 hemi. Still going strong!. Thus far, I have replaced a new belt, starter, an alternator, and a few sets of brakes, a bad oil pressure sensor, and a bad wheel hub, but honestly changing the oil when the dash reminds you will save you a lot, and the transmission fluid and filter, every 50-60 thousand mikes. Other that my Ram runs like champ.
2009-2018 4th gen. Still good information on maintenance and service
+Don't get well boi Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I still have my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab Lonestar Edition 5.7 liter hemi flex-fuel, with over 422,000 miles. I remember buying the truck brand new back in 07 of November when it was called "King of a trucks." And not to mention, I still have "Lifetime Powertrain warranty" for as long as I own a vehicle under my name. And of course your regular maintenance and other stuff. When it comes to my automatic transmission I've only had it flushed 3 times, every 30K miles up to 90k miles. After that I just drop the pan and drain the fluid. Replace filter and gasket every 30K miles. Never flush an automatic transmission with high mileage. As for my differential I changed every 60K miles other than that it's still running like a champ. Good video!
Hmm my 08 ram hemi is not flex fuel, were some flex and not others?
I also have the lifetime warranty and they don’t want to fix anything for free they always find excuses
My 4wd service light came on do you know why ?
Did you get the 4wd service light at some point?
I have the same truck, bought it new in December 08. No major issues other than tie rods. Live in Texas and the A/C still blowing cold, never had any problems or Freon added. Best truck I have ever owned.
No need to replace trans oil and filter every 30k. Every 60k is enough. But its up to you. My sister a 2003 1500 5.7 with the 545rfe it has 365k and it's still on its original trans. And she also has a 18 2500 6.4 with a 66rfe it has 95k and it also has lifetime warranty. I replaced the valve body at 55k due to a warped valve body.
The main issue with the newer 65, 66, and 68rfe trans are valve body's warping, od clutches Buring up causing flare 4th gear and slips In 5th. On the newer 68 I have been seeing the snap ring pop off 2c piston. The truck will still run and shift OK most of the time. It may get a dtc set p2701.
The 545rfe are mostly reliable.
Im about to inherit my dad’s 2009 2500 so this is very helpful, thank you
Len was extremely informative, saved this video for future reference thanks dawg

Great video. Covers just about everything.
Very detailed. Thank you so much. This is what ive been looking for
I change my coolant every 80k miles to 100k. Like 3 times… on my older ram hemi which has almost 270k on it.
What a ole reliable.
Thank you so much for these videos!!! Love this channel 💪🏾
+Jae B. Thanks for the feedback!
Good shit love your videos very informative for anyone whos just getting into the rams
Damm dude I love how u can explain all that stuff. Thumb up!
You guys have been so helpful! Thank you!
I always did drain and refill (drop pan change filters re install pan)
The manuals don’t say flush so.
Maybe once or twice it be ok for it.
You want some friction and grit in there especially with more mileage on the vehicle
Good presentation Len,very informative 👍
Very concise and to the point!! Helps me a whole lot!! Thank you so much!! You the 💣bomb!! GREAT 👍JOB!!
Love your videos. Great work!
Thank you!
Thank you for the clear and informative vid👍
I have a 2004 ram 1500 slt 5.7 431thou miles and engine still rus perfect. Im about to rebuild front end , replace timing chain and go over whole truck. I just bought a 2018 longhorn laramie . l love Dodge trucks and have never had major trouble with Dodge. Very durable. Buy Dodge

Great video and a really great presenter...Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol nice just got one today and you’re video is giving me what I was looking for ty
I’m damn happy u joints lasted 250k plus miles on my 2003 ram hemi. Talk about well built vehicle. Frame is solid. Good truck.
Dam right. Even better with 2019’s. Great trucks and came a long way. I’m an ex GM and ford guy. Never again. Ram all day going forward
@@ramrider1453 because the engineering on everything now is dogshit
@@ramrider1453 don’t care for the newer rams in my opinion especially the 1500s I like the bigger ones though they are sharp
Very fast! Very detailed...Nice job!
Thanks!
This was a phenomenal video
What a great video. Well done. Thank you.
Iridium spark plugs were introduced in the later 2013 models. If you have an early '13 or earlier, you have copper-nickel plugs and need to change them every 30k miles.
the replacements are now all iridium at least that is what my 12 called for even though it had standard plugs in it...
@@bones007able as long as you make sure they're in good condition, copper or iridium won't matter.
@@DL101ca just had my 8 plugs, frt & bk diff and trans fluid changed first time @ 105k mi. On my wife’s 2016 Ram 1500 Hemi. No problems were found by mechanic, $1150. That tells me that Rams are well built. Next will change the coolant whether it needs it or not.
Very seldom anyone talks about the 2009 and up 1500 dodge ram. I have a 2010 with a 4.7 engine and I’ve got 167,000 miles and it still runs great change the oil every 3000 miles and do periodic maintenance like I should. The only thing I’ve had to change was a water pump like you said there is a problem with the water pump and put a new belt. I’m planning on driving this dodge four wheel 4.7 forever it’s a standard cab I’m 74 years old and I like this truck. And it looks like now on top of it so any advice on Dodge 4 x 4‘s specially 4.7‘s I will be turned into Jp I’m coming like to show
2010 Hemi 4x4 Ram 1500 with 260,000 miles
Water pump, front wheel bearings, PCV valve, religious oil changes, INSTALL A CABIN AIR FILTER, trans service (MUST USE OEM FLUIDS)
Never replaced the alt, starter, fuel pump went out at 250,000, rear suspension bushings went out at 230,000
I have been beat out of so much money for car repairs, fixing tires I hate mechanics. Enjoy your videos just just still lost in the head lights.
Thanks for watching! Our videos are all about empowering vehicle owners to do it themselves! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
This is an awesome video. Thanks so much!
Good video, 100,000 miles on coolant seems to long to go, and radiator hoses need to be changed out at 60-70,000 miles in my opinion, and I would replace the thermostat, hoses start to get hard. Newer trucks do not have transmission dip sticks, I’m not convinced that the lifetime fluid is all that.
thanks for the video. very helpful and to the point.
Glad it was helpful!
awesome job, very helpful.
Great video, like always i have a problem with my car is a older car, and the check engine light came up and the scanner said is a transmission solenoid e...but the transmission seems to change gears fine well the 4 gear take a little longer i think...what you recommend, how i now is the solenoid and not the filter is clogged or something because the car was park for a long time maybe 7 year ...
Start by changing the fluid and filter.
Good video and as usual, good job. Thank you...😊
Thanks for watching!
Honest question I got a 2016 Ram 1500 and I dont know if it ever got its transmission serviced at 60 000k and it was at 89k.....now it's 95k. Would it be bad to change it still? I'm always nervous to change fluid or touch a transmission
The zf 8 speed on a few of the 1500s dont have a transmission dipstick. Theres a fill plug on the side of the transmission. Fluid should slowly flow out if its full. The pan and filter is all one unit so if you need to change fluid, do the pan also. And you will need a fluid transfer pump to get fluid back into transmission. A cheap $10 pump from a auto parts store will work fine
Nobody listen to this guy. It is one unit and has to be done at dealership, due to the specific temperature it has to be checked. Fluid is also twice as expensive on this tranny
And you can easily do it yourself because your truck tells you Trans fluid temp. Do your research and you don't need a dealership for nothing
@@ramtrucks721
I've changed the fluid 3 times in my trucks (takes 1 to 1 1/2 hour).... Drain and new pan and fluid , add til over flows, close, level truck and do the shift procedure, check fluid level again....save a thousand bucks. Dealership gets a woody if you bring it up.
Not rocket science
Yep no need to have dealer do trans service. Just make sure to use correct oil for 8 speeds.
I have worked on many of these trans, customers replace there trans oil but use regular atf4. Then the bring it in to the dealer complaining the trans issues. Take a sample and it's pink oil. Automatic warranty decline on trans.
I felt bad for a customer, he was a Vietnam War vet and ran over something, it cracked the pan. So he pulled the pan off and jbweld it which actually stop the leak, but he used atf4. Since most 8 speeds transmission repairs require us to email pictures of fluid and stuff, they would have not covered a replacement under warranty due to impact damage.
So if you don't know what you are doing they yeah bring it in to the dealer or a good mechanic that knows how to service this trans.
@@therealDYL93you’re exactly right…
When checking transmission fluid read the dipstick, it tells you check with the transmission in neutral. Otherwise you get a bad reading
What's the age and mileage of this truck?
Seems to be in pretty good condition.
Excellent, very well done!
Great video gonna leave this here for future commenting.
I bought my 2015 new and it only has 52.5k miles on it. I had the hemi tick and a few small things break but overall it's a solid truck!
Add Lubegard Biotech (3 oz per quart of oil) I added a full 15oz bottle on the last oil change and the tick disappeared almost immediately.
@@frankwong294Most tics are caused by a broken exhaust manifold bolt and oil doesn't kill that.
Thank you for the video. its very helpful. I'm thinking of purchasing a 2012 ST 4x4. It has 129k miles on it. No accidents per carfax report. Oil has been changed regularly along with the air filter when needed. Struts replaced at 90k, tranny flushed at 93k, and plugs replaced at 110k. Is there anything else I should look for or be concerned about? I'm a first time truck/RAM owner. Any help or advice from anyone would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks again...
Thank you for this video good things to know about 4 x 4‘s👍
Great video can you show me single cab four-wheel drive operations thank you
Awesome video
Are there any grease points on the manufacturer upper control arms or anywhere on the front of the vehicle? I'm getting a squeak and thought it was the struts, then maybe control arm, but it may be the sway bar. It's only with up/down movement.
Great video
I have a 12 ram and just got a 4wd service light other than loose wire what should I look for what could be the reason?
Thanks, you just costed me a little money and probably saved me a bunch of money lol
Got a question, I have a 2017 ram 1500 with a V6 gas engine and recently, there is a lot of vibration when I’m either accelerating or just holding the gas pedal to maintain speed. As soon as I release the gas pedal, it feels like the vibration intensifies for a few seconds and then it becomes a very smooth ride. What could that possibly be?
I'm at 150,000 trouble free miles in my 15 Ram Sport!!!! :)
Fantastic video!
Glad you liked it!
I just got a 2010 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi. Runs like new. 219k miles. Should I have the dealer do a 100k on it like you are doing?
This is very helpful.
Wow great to the point video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the vid.
Should the truck be in neutral and emergency break on when checking transmission fluid
Can you talk about the eps and how to fix it on the ram 1500 sport?
Dude great video u explain very very awesome 😎👍🏼
Thank you!
Thank you Len ....
+Mahmoud Al Shawi Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thanks for the video. I’ve saved it and am doing all of this on my truck. I’ve got the tools and setup so might as well stop being lazy because even the mechanic ain’t doing all this 😂
If the TIPM goes bad can it cause all kind of lights to come one the dash and not allow the truck to crank
Good video 👍
2016 Ram 1500 with 79,000 miles. Has the 8 speed transmission and doesn’t have the trans dipstick… wish it did so I could check it.
Side note, why did Dodge not think it was a good idea to have a cab air filter on my model? Had to add my own with and aftermarket kit.
Clips for the coil packs. I accidentally broke one of the clips to the packs, I was able to tywrap the clip to the coil pack. It was a small black tab that broke however the good news is that it's the forward cylinder on the passenger side. Any idea on how to replace it?
Just did my plugs on my 12 Ram. As long as you have a swivel and a plug socket its easy. Plugs were pretty bad ( 65k miles) , mass air flow needed a clean also. Just praying the hemi tick goes away with new ex manifold.
Did u do iridiums? I think those yaers came with copper plugs
If the sound goes awAy when heated it’s a manifold stud, if it sounds like ping pong balls then you have a lifter issue.
Mine goes away after it warms up what do you mean by manifauld stud ?
@@okitailsnscales1707 it's the front and back studs holding the manifold shield as well as the manifold itself. They usually snap off creating exhaust leaks.
