Trans issue
My buddy is having a trans issue with his truck and im going by what i can decipher over the phone..He says one day he can get in it and drive no problem and the next it wont move..I guess he flushed the trans and new filter fluid and thats when this started happening...Kind of has me thinking his TC is going bad but im not sure..Im not SUPER familiar with transmissions...im looking for any other ideas.Also says wqhen it gets warm it slips..Wich has me just thinking the clutches are shot and when he flushed it there was material in the fluid making up for the worn clutches and as the fluid gets warmer and thinner it lets it slip...Any other ideas? its a dodge ram 4wd..

Was the old fluid dark? If the filter is new, and the fluid level is correct, and it'* still slipping, I would check the pressure, if that'* good, then the clutches are shot.
