- 3.6 pentastar
Hello all,
I drive a 2015 RAM 1500 express 4x4 with a 3.6l pentastar and the 845RE transmission. I have 48,650ish miles on it. I upgraded my transmission pan this weekend. I upgraded to a ppe aluminum pan with removal filter. The pan fit great. The truck was down shifting hard/jerking. I did a drain and fill flush on the system twice. The transmission now down shifts smooth. The fluid i took out had a burnt smell to it.
you will need a allen wrench 5/16 for the fill plug and t40 for the drain and all the pan bolts.
PPE transmission pan.

You can use Maxlife atf on zf 6 and 8 speed transmissions.
