2006 Dodge Ram 1500, where is the tranny drain plug?

IF BOTTOM HOSES LEAKING WAIT UNTIL ENGINE COOL DOWN DRAIN THE COOLANT SYSTEM IN A LARGE DRAIN PAN. AND REPLACE LEAKING COOLANT HOSES.

Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. Place a drain pan under the transmission oil pan. Remove the oil pan drain plug. Remove the oil pan bolts. Remove the oil pan. Remove the gasket. Remove the magnet. Remove the oil filter. Remove the filter neck seal. The transmission oil pan gasket is reusable. Inspect the gasket and replace as needed. Clean the transmission case and the oil pan gasket surfaces with solvent. Install the filter neck seal. Install the oil filter. Install the oil pan gasket to the pan. Install the magnet into the bottom of the pan. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Install the oil pan to the transmission with seventeen bolts. Tighten the oil pan bolts to 11 Nm (97 inch lbs.) . Apply a small amount of sealant GM P/N 12346004 to the treads of the drain plug. Install the oil pan drain plug. Tighten the oil pan drain plug to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.) . Install Dextron Automatic Transmission Fluid. Lower the vehicle.

The reverse band on transmission is out of adjustment. To correct this, drain the transmission fluid and remove the filter. After removing the filter you will see an adjustment screw with a locknut looking down. Back the locknut off 4 turns. make sure the adjustment screw turns freely. tighten the adjustment screw to 72 in-lbs of torque then back off 3 turns, hold the screw to keep it from turning and tighten the locknut on screw to 25 ft-lbs. Replace the filter and fluid,install pan on transmission. hope this will help you.

just drop the transmission pan to drain it and the filter is right there in the valve body,DON'T mess the band adjustment,they are only to stop the planetary gears so you can go into reverse,there is no such thing as adjusting bands! that went out with the fifties!

No, this is more likely an indication that you have deeper problems within the transmission.

This is one of the first signs of Dodge transmission failure. Hunting between second and third around 45 MPH is another sign. I would drain some of the transmission fluid, and look for foreign particles is the fluid. If it is as I suspect you should change the filter and the fluid immediately. The particles I am expecting you to find will be aluminum from your torque converter, they are not magnetic and will not show on the dipstick.

Yes. They should both be 46RE transmissions and the bolt patterns and the plugs should be the same.

Check fluid level first. See if fluid smells "burnt". The signs are the tranny is dying. Don't go far in this vehicle until you've taken it to a shop you trust. They will pull the drain pan and inspect. Next sign of death will be a whining in the transmission as the suction strainer for the pump becomes clogged with the clutch material. Good Luck.

did you drain the fluid, it may have lots of metal and be really gummed up causing it to over heat and burn off. Aside from that the most commonly overlooked "check engine" proplem is the O2 sensors, there should be 2 of them

there is a rubber plug on the differential cover pop this out to fill/check fluid shbould be about 1/4" below this plug. to change pull the inspection cover off to drain fluid. use 80w/90w gear oil
