Hey Guys ... I was recently talking with my retired neighbor about how I just changed my front/rear differential and transfer case fluids with Amsoil synthetics. He was pretty interested because he just got an outrageous quote from the stealership to drain and fill his front/rear differentials ... over 4X what I paid for the Amsoil products.

Anyways, I volunteered to help him change out his and suggested going full-synthetics. What I'd like to know is what you guys suggest in Amsoil grades and the drain/fill quantities for the front & rear differential, the transmission, and the transfer case.

Here's his trucks specs:
2008 Dodge Cummins 4X4 SRW 3500
with the Allison 6-spd. manual trans.
Mileage: approx. 37K

Also, since I'm not real familiar with the Dodge Cummins brand ... are their any special tools; hints & tricks that would help me help him?

Thanks guys!

 

If he wants Amsoil products - we have an Sponsor thats an Amsoil dealer - his nam is Heath. He will give you the best info and he has his own forum.

Ask here: Amsoil - Diesel Bombers

No special tools should be required other than a strap type oil filter wrench.




This is for older trucks but it should help you a bit on the oil change:

Oil & Filter Change on Ram/Cummins

Nice of you to help him out

 

no special tools just buy 2 gallons of gear oil and two gallons of aft go to this site.

just a thought, but i dont think that dodge offers an allison????????

 

YUP ... Heath happens to be one I purchased all of my Duramax synthetics from ... great guy!

Thanks for the link ... great resource there!

HUMMM ... will verify, with him [neighbor]!

Any other thoughts or suggestions, please mention here!

 

Go to the Amsoil web site and look under(right corner of page) Product Look Up Guides> Auto Light Trucks and put in the year model and it will give you all the info for the truck. No Allison 6 sp manual in a 08 Dodge Ram.

 

Will do ... and I need to make a correction ... it isn't a 08' but an 06'.

Thanks!
