this is right from dodge's shop manual hope this helps clear up some of the questions BAND ADJUSTMENT 1. Adjust front and rear bands as follows: a. Loosen locknut on each band adjusting screw 4-5 turns. b. Tighten both adjusting screws to 8 N·m (72 in. lbs.). c. Back off front band adjusting screw 1-3/4 turns, for diesel vehicles, or 1-1/2 turns for V-10 vehicles. d. Back off rear band adjusting screw 3 turns. e. Hold each adjusting screw in position and tighten locknut to 34 N·m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.

Good video. I was told by the Dodge dealer that my transmission (when new) was normal to give a jerky motion at times when going up my driveway. 4 years later, I was told by another garage that I needed a rebuild or new transmission. I researched on RU-vid and decided to try a new modulator and adjusting the band's in transmission. The transmission works better now than when it was brand new. Unbelievable! Alot of people are getting ripped off!

Because if your transmission needs band adjustment that mean your band need to be replaced. If you adjust that band you will damage the drum and the rest of the components do to the metal particles of the damage drum.

Did this to my truck today, glad I did. I have a 2004 dodge ram cummins. Worried I may need to take it to a shop. My truck would downshift prematurely form 2nd to 1st, or would not stay in second unless I held the rpms almost to 2000 when accelerating, and if I slowed down to around 20 mph it would drop into first. Once it shifted into third, everything was fine. This little adjustment fixed all of this. Thanks.

Good video. I do all my own wrenching for general maintenance on my 05 Ram 5.9 as well. Same as your truck only 3500. Bought new in Aug. 05 now with 444,000 miles as of today, and running better than new. Amsoil Synthetics throughout since day 1. One thing I do that I noticed you do not is that I use brake clean on everything first and or, brush off anything that I am going to undue, twist or turn or replace. I always start with clean grit and grime free surfaces so that everything comes off easy and tightens back up properly metal to metal.

good video with great camera angles and sufficient descriptions. Which gears does this adjustment help with the shifting...?

@TheRancher03 2 года назад

Great video. Here's the the service manual information on bands: BAND ADJUSTMENT AND FINAL (1) Adjust front and rear bands as follows: (a) Loosen locknut on each band adjusting screw 4-5 turns. (b) Tighten both adjusting screws to 8 N·m (72 in. lbs.). (c) Back off front band adjusting screw 1-3/4 turns. (d) Back off rear band adjusting screw 3 turns. (e) Hold each adjusting screw in position and tighten locknut to 34 N·m (25 ft. lbs.) torque. This should be done (at least front one) when changing fluid. If you don't you might experience problems coming out of first then jumping to normal shifting, second-third downshifting then back to normal possiby with an ODB code, etc.. It's a simple procedure except doing the first time.

@timmytool1231 7 лет назад

Was towing my 9k fifth wheel up a steep windy road with my 05 Cummins, when I slowed down on level ground and moving from 1st to second, it had a hard jerk into second and back out to first, then came to a very steep paved up hill driveway, started up and the tranny slipped and finally started rolling. It's time for a fluid change, I am going to change the solenoid and sensor, along with your band spec. Hoping this solves it.

@johngoold1218 7 лет назад

Shop wanted $800 to replace the trans governor solenoid/ pressure sensor & see if that helped. Did it myself and cured the shuttle surging but not the sticking in 3rd gear. Watched your video & adjusted the bands. FIXED! Drives like new.

@albertclark8980 7 лет назад

Holy smokes $800!? I just did mine, upgraded to the Borg Warner HD solenoid, transducer, output speed sensor, 3-4 accumulator spring, & filter. Including the 7qts of atf+4 in all it cost me about $120. But my tranny still seems to have the same symptoms, stutter shift or holding on to 2nd too long or reaching for 3rd, not sure what's wrong, but I'll try the band adjustment and see how that goes.

@rickbaier1042 6 лет назад

Hey Rob, Quick question why after putting the foot pound adjustment on the torch bolt do you back off a turn and a half what's the purpose seems like your back right where you started?

@DieselCamper 6 лет назад

Hi Rick, I assume the purpose of backing the nut off is to ensure the band can fully disengage when not applied by the Piston. The apply Piston has more than enough travel to make up for the slack off backing the bolt off. When you tighten the adjusting bolt to 72" pounds you are actually applying the band, so it needs some slack put back in when you are done.

@rickbaier1042 6 лет назад

Cummins&Camping Ok Rob I appreciate it

@servandoleal7349 6 лет назад

What do I do if the star bolt is all the way in now and doesn't have much sticking out past the tightening nut but still have the symptoms described by other viewers? I did this procedure once about 6 months ago it worked fine until yesterday tried it again but doesn't seem to have helped. Any help would be appreciated.

@DieselCamper 6 лет назад

Probably looking at rebuild time. There is a slip in band you can buy, but you won't know how the clutches are doing if you don't pull the trans and disassemble it.

If your truck is either stuck on 1 or 2nd gear (wouldn't upshift), then adjusting the band might solve the issue.

@jkulysses 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video as I'm going to attempt this in the spring after this rain lets up. I have a 2005 2500 cummins with only 45k miles on it always babied bone stock. The only real symptom I'm having is sometimes it will randomly from the 1 to 2 shift it like stutters or surges for a second until I give it a little more gas then it shifts and starts driving like normal. I've noticed it mainly happens if I'm driving like an 80 year old man and barely giving it any gas. Would this possibly fix it or maybe a solenoid issues? This spring I plan to adjust the front band and drop the pan to change out the fluid.

@DieselCamper 6 лет назад

It is tightened inwards to 72 inch pounds, then reversed outwards for 1 and 7/8ths of a turn and locked in place with the locking nut.

@pedrosantander4765 6 лет назад

@kodykj2112 5 лет назад

What would the max adjustment be though? Because if the band is completely worn and you adjust it it’ll start running metal to metal.

@DieselCamper 5 лет назад

I've found that when you are on your last thread sticking out of the stop nut you are very close.

@BlairWilliams 7 лет назад

Just a quick question. I know its how its done, but it doesn't make sense that you torque the screw down to 72 inch pounds then immediately unscrew it out 1.75 turns??

@melonas22 6 лет назад

Where the band goes around the drum, its a tight tolerance. So torquing the band down clamps it to the drum. Since 72 inch pounds is the right torque to get the band completely wrapped around the drum with no slack left, you dont need to go any tighter, but any loser *may cause* issues. Turning the adjuster out 1.75 turns gives the band the proper clearance to the drum so that it doesnt drag against it, but in the event of a shift, the shift time wont be delayed because the piston had to travel further to make the band grab the drum. Does that clear up the band operation and why you have to do it the way given in the manual.

@jegareis 7 лет назад

I am preparing to do this, but my inch lb torque wrench doesn't go down to 72? maybe a dumb question but can I just set my ft lb wrench to 6ft lbs?

@IgotGreens101 7 лет назад

its Inch pounds not Torque pounds

@MrGil-tl8hk 4 года назад

@@IgotGreens101 Old response and a little late but if someone can use the info, here it is: to convert inch/lbs to ft/lbs, divide by 12. To convert ft/lbs to inch/lbs, multiply by 12. So 72 inch/lbs to ft/lbs is 6 ft/lbs.

@DieselCamper 4 года назад

If it gets to 3rd and won't go into 4th it isn't a band problem. The 48RE is really a 3 speed trans with an overdrive unit bolted on the back. When it's in overdrive, the main body of the trans is in 3rd and the bolted on overdrive unit is giving you 4th.

Most likely the wedge piece between the screw and band as fallen out. You will need to drop the pan and valve body to get it back in. Have you lost second gear? If it goes from 1st to 3rd this is most likely the problem.
