 Subject: dodge dealership hooked it up!!
IP: Logged
Message:
So I was driving to Las Vegas last saturday,about an hour out on the road, when I looked in the rearview mirror and saw SMOKE! Pulled over, called a tow truck, and had it towed back to the dealership. The dealer inspected it and said it was the transmission pump that blew and spewed tranny fluid everywhere (Luckily I have 1000 miles left on my warranty). Well, I picked up my truck yesterday and to my surprise not only did they replace the tranny pump, but the WHOLE transmission, a complete rebuid. They said total cost: about $2400, total cost to me: $100 for the warranty deductible. Truck drives soooo much smoother and I'll hopefully never have to worry about the tranny ever. They could've done a cheap repair and sent me on my way cause I would've drove 1000 miles in 3 weeks or so and the warranty would've run out. Anyhow....my hats off for Frahm Dodge in Norco.
QUESTION: How should I break in the new transmission? Should I change the fluid to synthetic now?

Let it be, I believe the transmission runs just fine on what is in it from the dealer, also if you tamper with it,it could void the rebuild trans warranty. You wouldnt want that would you??
