Oh thats the plan, in writing. Not expecting much from the dealer at this point. Trying to calm down while I wait for the tow so I'm not escorted out of the building once I show up.

I bought this unit in 2023, its a 202180th annoversary and it came with an extended warranty with 10 free oil changes. So even though i normally do my own, I figured why waste them. This was the 5th. Picked it up drove 16 kms just out sode of town and the engine light goes on. Codes for oil...

80th Anniversary. First two are stock wheels and tires. 3rd is BFG TA KO 285 70 17 E (10 ply), probably 12 years old or more so they are nearing their tread life lol (actually 6/32nds left not put on shortly after I got this this unit, previously enjoyed on a Duramax) and the rest are the new...

Since I can't delete this thread I guess photos to come once I get to my laptop. Site is super annoying never letting me post pics from my phone. After market wheels are 8.5" wide with 0 offset

I guess I had two thoughts in one in my mind there. You're right the backspacing wouldnt have an effect on the toe setting. It may however have an effect on the tracking/steering handling characteristics of the vehicle overall. I had used a home made alignment tool in the past for toe that was...

This is exactly what I thought the first time I made a set of "alignment bars" or whatever they might be called to check and set my toe with. I've never found an answer yet. I think this makes sense where it could vary and be somewhat dependent on the backspacing of your particular wheel...

Awesome thanks brother. Of course translation to Canada for the exact same and its $40 but i can figure my options out from there.

One of mine was slightly tweaked and bent and one nut more than the other starting to round a bit, both were slightly deformed a bit but was able to reuse it with no problem. I still want to replace them while they've been fresh off though to avoid a hassle one day down the line. Just out of...

I just did this this morning. Ran in to the snag that yep had to remove the exhaust bolts/nuts to lower the exhaust pipe then jam something between the 2 pieces while I removed and reinstalled the pan during the process. Pissed me off for a second when I almost rounded one of the nuts then...

Now if they'd just offer a SBC as an option we could have the best of both worlds.... (Leaves room before the reactions start coming in...)

Yea I guess in hindsight if I had known I would've wemt to the part store and looked up the filtran part maybe saved a few bucks. If Filtran is the actual dealer supplied part then I guess I paid the premium (although I used the discount site factory option for less) to gain some knowledge for...

I do get that. I guess my concern is more does Filtran supply the stock trans filter for the dealers/factory then? No point in buying their stock to staybwarranty compliant if they could eventually say nope not our filter no warranty for one reason. Ive never used a filtran filter in my life...

Guess Im a slow typer. Thats exactly what I have too

Came from a Mopar part supplier. Ive bought legit Mopar parts from them before like my Mopar 2" coils etc. I can mever post pics on this site from my phone but this is a Mopar box and sticker and the correct part number for my Gladiator BUT the part is Filtran with a part number 'etched' on it...

Just got my "MOPAR" tranmission filter I ordered. Took it out if the Mopar box, with the Mopar part # sticker on it and look at the filter. It says Filtran right on it. I assume the stock one should say Mopar and NOT Filtran, right? Or am I wrong?

Shadowpapa's firdt post pretty much tells ya what you need to know. I have 20+ years towing experience on a daily for work, selfemployed and pay out of pocket for equiptment. I know the cost vs worth scale and its worth it to biy the quality piece even if its over kill IF it suits your needs...

Agreed 100% . My main thought at the time was checking at the lower end of the range so that if anything wasn't getting all it needed fluid wise until the heat helped the fluid 'expand' it would be best to set the level on the colder range of the scale. This is based on closer to 0% than 100%...

This is what I did on the X5 I did it on. Made a noticeable difference in the hard shifting issue it was having and eased my mind a bit knowing the fluid was getting to where it needed to go quicker on those cold days before it got hot, living in a colder climate here and all.

Awesome. Thanks for the torque sequence and specs there. Good info for anyone who decides to get this done. Anyone happen to know the temp range when checking the fluid? I think the X5 ZF was like between 39-49 C* or something but just going off a distant memory. I assume these would be...

Well that solves my wandering mind until the morning when I might've worked up the ambition to go check. Right before thinking, 'is the magnet sticking to the pan or the bolt...?' Lol Yup makes sense to me. Most of the BMW stuff seemed to lean toward a money grab and was in design made to...
