RedInfierno 08-15-2009, 01:53 AM Hey Mario look what i found CLICK (http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114522&highlight=transmission+fluid) <--- I hope it helps! msierra519 08-15-2009, 02:23 AM well after reading that thread and some others...we would have to buy the Miller Dipstick, which after checking around costs about $75. wow what a ripoff.. RedInfierno 08-15-2009, 02:25 AM 75 bucks? that sucks! but i guess there is no choice... lets get a bunch of guys together and buy one so we can all use it :D bigsnake 08-28-2009, 06:59 PM Your best bet is to go to your dealer because you need a starscan to read the trans fluid temp when checking(there's a formula). You won't get an accurate reading by using a dipstick. You just need a Star-scan and a Service manual to properly check it. The starscan for the trans fluid temp, and the manual for the chart to tell the level in relation to said trans fluid temp... a dip-stick is only 1/3 of the battle...

Great info there Snake! v666 09-03-2009, 12:40 PM Good info I had been wondering this myself. keeylyme 09-03-2009, 07:24 PM I had the fluid checked at the dealer a few weeks ago and paid $35.98 for the pleasure.

That definitely sounds like a good plan. do you think they'll look the other way on a fog lights install??:D TopBananaGuy 09-24-2009, 11:28 PM I hate the dealership. I feel like I am dealing with the Devil whenever I go there. I have never been to the service Department of any car dealer where the Manager was not arguing with an angry customer. Last time I took my car they suggested I get the 30k mile tune up. I was like oh what is involved with that? $900 worth of spark plugs and BS. Obviously I did not do it. I am scared of the idea of having to go to the dealer to get my trans fluid checked. Hopefuly smaller shops will begin to get the technology to check it in the near future. Texasfinest 09-29-2009, 03:40 AM Never even thought about checking that... Stupid me!! Texasfinest 09-29-2009, 03:45 AM I don't go to the stealership because if they see my twenty fo's my transmission warrenty will be voided for sure. I know because I took it In to get the oem fogs and switch in stalled and my friend told me that the next time the higher ups will note it and it will be voided!!! gunracer 04-20-2010, 10:53 PM here, try this. http://www.millerspecialtools.spx.com/Detail.aspx?id=847&gid=11 SRTAndy 04-21-2010, 03:18 PM I know Mark (Peno) bought one of these and is happy with it! :smileup: vBulletin® v3.8.4, Copyright ©2000-2012, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
