Now you have! If you know your way around Mopar 8-speeds, our costly core-return mistake is your next profit or shop truck. 🚨 SOLD AS A MECHANIC'S SPECIAL — NON-RUNNING / TOW OR TRAILER ONLY 🚨 Vehicle Specifications: VIN: 1C6RR7FG5GS267182 Year / Make / Model: 2016 RAM 1500 Tradesman Body Style / Cab: Quad Cab Pickup Truck Drivetrain: 4X4 (4WD) Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6 Flex Fuel (305 HP / 269 lb-ft Torque) Transmission: 8-Speed Automatic (TorqueFlite 8 / ZF 845RE) Fuel Economy Rating: 11 City / 16 Hwy MPG Mileage: Under 200,000 miles (exact mileage cannot be verified; selling as True Mileage Unknown / Exempt) The Technical Story (Why This Is the Ultimate MECHANIC'S SPECIAL): Installed the replacement transmission: A replacement (used/reman) 845RE transmission is already bolted into the truck. Shipped the "Control Pack" with the core: On the 3.6L V6 paired with the ZF 845RE 8-speed, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and valve body are integrated into a single unit called the Mechatronic Unit. That entire assembly was accidentally left inside the old transmission and sent back with the core. Inspected the current state: Right now, there is an empty cavity under the transmission pan where the valve body and TCM mount. Your 3-Step Checklist to Put This 4X4 Back on the Road: Source the Mechatronic Unit: Pick up a new or remanufactured ZF 845RE Mechatronic Unit (Valve Body + TCM assembly; remanufactured units typically run $500–$800, OEM higher). Install and fill: Bolt the assembly into the bottom of the transmission and fill with the proper ZF 8-speed fluid. Flash to the VIN: Program and flash the TCM to VIN 1C6RR7FG5GS267182 using a diagnostic tool with Chrysler pod/software access (the truck will not start or shift until flashed). ⚠️ FINAL REMINDER: THIS IS A MECHANIC'S SPECIAL SOLD AS-IS, WHERE-IS.
