Dropped the pan on the transmission in my 93 W250, no huge amount of deposits noted but the magnet at the bottom of the pan is loaded with small particles that kinda look fuzzy once disturbed. Yeah, I know it's because the particles are so small and obviously magnetically permeable, I'm just unsure if the amount is normal or not. The truck has ~ 120K on it, lots of use with a snowplow, so mild abuse at least; to my knowledge the trans has not been opened up before but don't know for sure. Trans is a 42RH/A518. Dropped the pan for a look-see since it's been whining very loudly and getting worse - sounded exactly like a hydraulic pump with no fluid to pump, so I was thinking possible clogged filter. Filter doesn't look great, but not as bad as I was expecting. Thanks, Mike

If it has a whine i would think somethings coming apart.
As long as the whining is coming from the right side it can simply be ignored....Uhmm...You are married ,right?

Yeah, actually I did get the joke and a good laugh when I read it. I was kinda trying to keep it playing by pointing out it's a work truck so she doesn't ride in it... Truth is, I had to share your response and my reply with her since I knew she'd find it funny also, was good for another round of laughs. (Took two tries to get a good one, but I'm gonna keep this one.) Mike

Do the bands ( if any adjustments on them...), change the fluid and filter and you should be good to go. Just make sure you put the correct fluid in it as Mopar got real picky about which fluid to use. I had plenty of Chrysler automatics whine a little when either low on fluid or needing a band adjustment. That little bit of wear you see with the magnet is nothing - don't sweat it at all. Just did a 32RH in a 96 van that would whine and slip a little when starting off on a hill. Band adjustment fixed it. The page below (when it loads...) may have the specs you need... http://arrc.epnet.com/autoapp/9107/9107CH07_ADJUSTMENTS.htm

that's what I'd do, ch filter/fluid/adj bands/clean pan. Holler how it turns out. Filter looks bad, hope that takes care of it.
