I agree with the above. I have pulled the tranny in my Ram 2500 4 times and have never torqued them yet, just tightened them down tight.

What made it undrivable? Changing the transmission/transfer case isn't much harder than changing your oil.

T-case takes ATF, I can't remember what the transmission takes offhand.

Considering you have the BA/10 I would recommend a high end fluid like redline or royal purple. Made a huge difference in mine until it grenaded.
