So second dodge and second transmission with foamy fluid. This one only has 30,000 on it and I have only had it 3,000 miles. Has anyone else had this problem???

I would be willing to bet that is the problem.

Thanks

Check fluid level with truck warmed up at least 10 miles. Check in neutral on level ground. If fluid is high you better drain some out or you'll be going in for a third tranny. Also smell the fluid if it is dark or if it smells burned replace imediately.

Not to hijack the thread, but when I changed the diff oil in mine, the rear was really foamy, so it must have been a hair over filled.

Not to worry, that's normal.
