The common 2017 Ram 1500 8 speed transmission problems are related to rough shifts between gears and whining noises while shifting. Sometimes the sound is paired with the gears slipping. This usually indicates damaged fluid or a low fluid level and can be fixed by changing the transmission fluid. If the fluid checks out, the problem may be the pump.If You don't change the transmission fluid on schedule, You'll be lubricating Your transmission with metal shavings and other contaminants. This will shorten the transmission's life. It's important to regularly check the transmission fluid level between service intervals. Letting Your car run low on transmission fluid can cause the transmission to shift improperly or not at all.

I was told by my dealer the 8 speeds are all internal and you can not change transmission fluid
