I don't know for sure, but I'd locktite them, makes sense to me. I'd use the removable stuff (green I think) as the permanent (red) needs heat to remove

Thank-you!

That was a good read that you linked here, I book-marked it.



P.S. That would be the day I would let some Butcher pry my frame rails 3" apart to get that crossmember in. Isn't there a cab mounted to that frame you're prying on? I found a better way to do it.

And, says to use Type F fluid when it is VERY clearly stated by Chrysler what to use: ATF +4 only, NO exceptions or damage will result.

I guess any modifications to anything can only be bad, no way to do it better than the factory ever

727s were awesome and lasted very well behind 440s and now basically the same trans with an OD added is pure junk behind a 318. What really changed? They tried to make them shift soft with calibrations and slippery fluid.

Just FYI I get less comebacks doing it my hack ways than mopars way.

I've seen enough.

By the corrections that have been made to your responses and "I'm better than the Factory" attitude I wouldn't let you near my Dodges with a 100 foot pole.

I had mine rebuilt a couple years ago out of my 2001 Ram 1500 4X4. Cost me $2499.00 out the door with a 3 year/50,000 mile warranty and they removed/replaced it. As for fluid, it has ATF+4. However, if the company that was going to warranty the work said to put Type F in it, that's what I'd run.

I have not edited any of these posts. BTW I worked at a dodge dealer for a long time and had to rebuild tons of trannys, replace valve bodys... in 6 month old or less trucks, some even before they were sold. I have not had to do that on ANY of my re-builds.

How many transmissions have YOU re-built ?

Just to add some additional info, I was at Dobbs ( a local tire and auto here) getting my 92 D150 LE 5.2 auto w/ od inspected. While there asked them to give my a quote on rebuilt tranny. They quoted $2050 including labor and 2 year warranty and $2400 with 3 year warranty.
Mine seems to drive and shift fine but every once in a while I feel a little slippage. So some of these posts have me curious. As I have always wondered if it just needed a simple adjustment instead of a rebuild. I know nothing about trans rebuilds and wish there was a knowledgable honest shop who could tell me this without an arm and a leg.
