Hi All: This truck has about 110k. I have done alot of work on the engine and no major work on the auto. transmission. I would like to keep using it as our tow vehicle. I have changed the transmission fluid every 30k as recommended by Dodge. It is my understanding the color of the fluid is about the only indicator of problems in the transmission. Is there other indicators? The shifting between gears is smooth. Thanks for comments. Jim2007
Other then fluid colour, look into the pan see how much debris has collected on the bottom of the pan and around the magnet. Changing fluid and filter along with adjusting the bands(over doing the adjust will kill the tranny fast)is all you need to do. As for others suggestions of adding/removing this or that, not required, unless your going to run a programmer to increase HP/TQ.
