Too Good to be TRUE???? Dodge LIFETIME Drivetrain Warranty...

[Todd Wilson]

The trannys in most vehicles were redesigned starting in 02.

But a word of advice on Mopars with Torqueflight style trannys, including trucks through 02 with the O/D automatic.

WHenever you start the vehicle, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL as soon as you do! They DO NOT oil in park, so you put them in neutral so they do. I can't believe how many people don't know this. This is WHY you check fluid in neutral, if not, all the fluid is still in the pan and not being circulated.  I start my old Mopars in neutral.

EXACTLY! I have always done that on my trannys. And shut the OD off in the truck when you pull!  I also put the tranny in N after working the truck hard pulling for a minute or 2 to cycle fluid and cool it down some. Dont know if that helps any but I do it.

Right now my 01 Ram is whinning in reverse. It only had 45K on it. I have a warranty on it. I guess I will have to take it in. It sounds kinda like the front pump? Whines like an old powerglide but only in reverse. I took it in about a year ago but it has to set awhile for it to happen so nothing was done then.

I just want to know what the hell I did to deserve that? I didn't insult anyone, I didn't pick a fight.... I just got sucker punched

HAHA! Lighten up!  Thats always Silvers response to everything. Tranny problems and Neon head gaskets!

I head Rams have severe differential problems...     just a thought

and this warranty does not extend to SRT-4, SRT-8 or SRT-10 vehicles...        Never fear...    I can break anything

Maybe that's why they want you to change the differential fluid every 10,000 miles?

Generally that can be avoided with regular diff service. MAKE SURE you use the correct gear oil, I have also heard that the Lucas gear oil is a great alternative.
