Q: in all probability you arent hurting your transmission. since you seem to tow frequently id put in a transmission temperature gauge and make sure i didnt run it up much over 180=b0f while hauling and not over 200-210=b0f when backing up. theyre easy enough to put in and run about $45 not including the mount - of which there are plenty of options. at least this will eliminate the guessing. ill take a gander at the available gauges. as a side note i looked up yesterday what all would be involved in changing the fuel filter since it is time for me to do it. many different posts about it ... all of which seemed awfully over-complicated. perhaps i did something wrong but it took me about 3 minutes. drained a bit of fuel out about 3 tablespoons unscrewed the top pulled out the old filter removed the old gasket put on the new filter and gasket screwed it back together bumped the stater and started the truck. all done. did i miss something changed the air filter too. seems to be more responsive this morning. craig c. .

the ability to rotate is normal but it should take some effort. with your hand or with some vice grips you should be able to rotate it 30-45deg. if you can do it with two fingers then its probably worn out. ld hello first timeoposter first time lurker 2000 dodge ram 4x4 short bed. i wont get into the clunk i get stopping and starting...but i was looking under the truck today and i can actually grab hold of the sway-bar link that the drag link on 4x4 is connected to and move it back and forth it twists towards the front and i can twist it back and the ends pivot at the ball joints. is it supposed to do that there is no left-right play when shook. .
