need help-tranny service w/band adjustment

i plan on doing a fluid/filter change for my tranny comin up here but also want to do the band adjustment and replace the solenoids. from wat i have read i need to buy a governor pressure solenoid and a transducer. i need part numbers for them too so i can order them and also any links or instructions on band adjustment?

Do you have a Dodge dealer nearby at all?

Part can be bought on line

Cheaper than Dodge if your out of warranty.

There is a DIY thread in this section at the top. Just go back to 3rd Gen 5.9the same section your thread is in and look at the top of the page.

Search band adjustment on this fourm. There is a thread "how to" It would be better to have tranny shop do it. I understand they can be adjusted from the outter part of the tranny.

Drop the trans pan, change the filter, and refill until it reads full on the stick with the truck running in neutral. Do this every 20k - 25k miles and this will keep the fluid fresh in your trans.

Don't mess with the bands unless you start having shifting issues. If you over adjust them, or don't adjust them properly, than you'll run out of extra adjustment before it's really needed, or you could completely grenade your transmission.
