 Subject: 5.2 Oil Capacity and auto tranny adjust
IP: Logged
Message:
1) I've got a 98 5.2 with the tow package from dodge and was wondering if anyone knows how many quarts this system takes ?
Also
2) I'm looking to change the oil in my tranny as well and wanted to know how you go about adjusting the "bands" for the torque converter.
