    Huge fluid burst in engine bay

    To keep it short, was driving my 18 1500 3.6 for around 20-30 mins. Stopped and placed it in park, noted my coolant temps were around 224. Truck idled for maybe 1 minute. Turned it off, went to the trunk, went back to the truck to grab something, then boom. Reddish brown fluid leaking everywhere...

    Swapping Out Transmission Fluid

    Is the recommendation to pull the pan and replace it as well as the filter? Or to do a simple drain and refill? Does anyone have a link to the kit/fluid?

    What's the consensus on fluid change for 8 speed?

    What's the general consensus on changing the 8 speed transmission fluid? Should you attempt to change it or just trust that the fluid lasts a really long time? I don't know how sold I am on the idea of it being "lifetime fluid."

    For those who are looking to get their rear differential fluid changed out, here is my tutorial video I made of the process I used. Overall, very simple process, with minimal amount of tools. I threw in Mobil 1 75W-90 to suffice, until I can throw in some amsoil for the long haul. After draining...

    How-To Front Differential Fluid Change

    If you have ever re-geared any vehicle in the past, you know that after its first 500 miles, you need to change out the fluid.
