OK people I got a new ISSUE and need your help again. I drain trany unhook all line and clean them with air, clean the trany cooler with KOOLER CLEANER spry, installed new filter and drain valve on pan, adjust both band, fill it with Valvoline synthetic ATF+4. I measured amount of drain fluid was 3 gallon which is 12 quarts. after I add 11th quart start leaking right from panel or whatever is called under the flywheel. I had to open it till drain it so. is drained trany supposed to take 17 quarts? is not only this my real issue is: after all of this things I'm done trany start acting weird!!! between 46 to 52 MPH got confuse on 3rd and 4th. shifts from 3rd to 4th and back to 3rd right a way and again 4th and keep do in it till I let go of pedal and drop the speed to 45 or less then stays on 3rd OR keep pushing it and raise the speed to 55 MPH then stays on 4th what is the matter of this? in the other hand do we supposed to have 3 shift when O/D is off (light ON) and 4 shift when O/D is on (light OFF)? why I've 4 shift on both positions? Appreciate for help.

I finally got my answer after looking and checking abut 20 different trucks with same engine even with cool air intake, they all making the SAME PUMPING or THUMPING noise and it's NORMAL and there is nothing to worry abut. anyhow as I promise, I'll post all of my videos on YouTube and post the URL for every one whom is concern can see it. Best Regard Sam53

Thank you. in this case what do I NEED to do? When I bought this truck an unskilled mechanic was installed the 165* thermostat and poor truck was running like that for a while till I changed it to 190*. is it possible that cause the problem (165* temp) and messed up the ECM?

I'm glad you got it out and you're welcome.

Thank You so much.I got it now.

Thank You I'm still waiting to receive the link you sent me, my PC still circling. where do I need to check the voltage?

Appreciate for respond. I don't know what the timbo apps is? I checked at leas 20 trucks with same engine none of em had high idle like mine. they're around 700 to 750 but mine 950!!!!! it's really bugging me. I personally don't like high idling, and apologizes to whom they like it. I think after engine warmed up and got to safe operation temperature, there is no need of high idling, it's just wasting fuel and engine life but if LORD VP44 like it, I've no CHOICE and must bow to him and say noting further.

And use carb cleaner too. spry around it so you can break the seal and rust between O ring and engine block. I did the same it helps too.

I have the same issue with my 2000 / 24v. I installed new thermostat (made in Germany 190*) and check all temp by my digital temp gun and all are correct but regardless of weather cold or warm start idling @ 950 rpm then fall down to 750 rpm & reduce the battery voltage too (I notice it on night when interior light was ON,also panel light they became light & bright.) then goes up to 950 & keep do in it till warmed up and stays @ 950. as soon as I pot trany on R or D, it fall to 700 @ all time until change the trany to P or N again RPM goes up to 950. could I adjust mine with this method? where should I start & how do I do it? any advise / suggestion appreciate. Thanks for your time and effort.

I had the same issue too, even my engine got shutdown by it self and no start for few minute or so and the code for it was P0336 (crankshaft position sensor) I bought it form NW cummins $30 and after install it every thing backed to normal.

Thank I'll do it definitely. In the attachment you can see the photos of it till I post the video.

Thank You so much every one for replies. I was really forgotten where I post this topic till now. absolutely I'll post all of my videos on YouTube and post the URL so all of you guys can see them and be able to help me better. again thanks for your time and effort.

go to know thank for info.

Thanks. where exactly is that drain hole?

line doesn't leak but all gasket has leak I mean, between trany & transfer case / transfer to front & back axle / two section of transfer / trany & engine connection / trany & over drive and so on. when I'm going under the truck, I can see red fluid drops on all over this places. also when I park under the truck gets wet. Appreciate for respond & info.

Thank You so much my Dear friend for responding on my need. I need to get Dynamic,s phone number may be he send me his number via PM. I would be glad to speak with him. what is the small tank for between the line and cooler under the turbo on passenger side? Yes I'm so worried for trany she,s already leaking fluid from everywhere you name it and I'm trying to do as much as I can to save it until get it fix or rebuild. I'm so so sorry to saying that, I'm so tight on budget can't afford anything more than fully flushed it I mean even undoing the line as much as I can and drain them with air hoes even cooler. truly I'm scared puling anything with it. is anyone can tell me how can I adjust the band and which kind of tools I need? Appreciate for all your help and supporting me.

What is the better quality cooler than stock? how much it cost? cause I'm already flush trany, got old filter out and ready to install the new filter & pan on. I would like to know before refill the fluid.I can hold on to it.would you please let me know ASAP. appreciate for the help & info.

Thanks but I wasn't mean changing the method just want to know( is it help the transmission? ) that was my question.

Thanks Mopar1973man. that's exactly what we did but you mentioned the good point we have trany @ park, now I have to do it again with trany on N. by the way is it make any different if I install a deep pan? I would be appreciate if let me know cause I'm going to flush trany & change the filter for it I was thinking while pan is out change it to deep one what do you think?

TO ALL PEOPLE whom new to Auto transmission DO NOT FORGET to CHECK your fluid frequently and be sure your reading is right not like me!!! today I was checking it, friend of mined came and ask me what are you doing? told him " checking my trany fluid " he Laughed at me and said you have to wait till warmed up not now. what did I said in the beginning this is new for me and in my entire life I've manual shift. any way we check it together and find out I have very low trans fluid and I'm lucky not Burning the poor transmission.
