Matt,  Doug and everyone else.

Thanks for the advice.  I ordered a bottle and let you all know how it 
goes.

I really hate leaks in any equipment.  In fact I wish all mechanical 
engines didn't need any fluids at all!  8>)

I'll be supporting a Polar Plunge on Sat, so I'll wait until after that to 
add it.  Should know by next week.

Thanks again.

Moose

Nice looking rig Moose!  I sold my slide in when I left Alaska.  I like 
the front bumper.
Looks just like my 97 12 valve with 5 speed. Like Doug I am shocked that 
there are supportability concerns.  I would think some of the ram forums 
would help clarify that concern. Perhaps the VIN can identify exactly what 
model trans you have.

I doubt there is much downside to trying the Lucas addative. 

Good luck and keep us in the loop on it!  I am aboyt to dump a load of $$ 
into mine. It has been neglected but still soldiers on.

Matt

Guy,

I have a 2007 Dodge 3500 dualie diesel
and it currently has a transmission leak.

2 different truck mechanics expressed
concerns with part availability if they take it apart to fix it.

This truck is my personal dive rescue
truck (see photo.) So it normally has the camper loaded with gear.  It
also tows lighter boats and jet skis.

Here is my question, do I try Lucas
Transmission Fix?

Or do I take my chances and have a place
tear into this truck's transmission? (will they be able to get the parts
to fix it?



Thanks in advance.

Moose
