Replying to: stealthb2 (Jan 07, 2007 9:06 pm) Thank You stealhb2, you may be the one to help me. Your pics on powerpoint would be very helpful. I am ready to dive in to this problem. As a Father ... I really would like to give my Daughters a ride to school. This problem (of course) comes up when you really don't need it. Again your help is appreciated.

#80 of 686 Overdrive Problems??? by rbryana Jan 18, 2007 (7:48 pm)
01 Dakota with 4.7....love it to death. Already has 130K on it. Recent (only) problem is when I am doing highway speed down a flat or slightly uphill road, it kicks in and out of O.D. Trust me, the "slightly uphill" should not be enough to kick down the tranny.   Scenario: Going 60mph on a nearly flat road...tach shows about 1850 and sporadically kicks up to about 2200 and comes right back down a couple seconds later. I can hear the revs kick up (very noticeably) during this.   Has been faithfully serviced every 5K for oil/lube/filters and every 30k per OEM spec...any suggestions?

Replying to: rbryana (Jan 18, 2007 7:48 pm) Bad throttle position sensors are know to cause erratic transmission downshifting. It might be something worth checking.

Replying to: dodge01driver (Jan 18, 2007 10:19 am) Remove the knee-blocker and upper and lower column covers. These use the star-type torque screws. In your column covers there are two screws with a large thread pitch for plastic and one deep inside that is a machine screw. All located in the lower cover. I apologize for the quality of the photos. It was hard to hold the scribe to locate items and keep the camera in focus. Let me know if the pictures do not help. As for the .ppt I need an address to send it to. I can not place it in this forum mail Replies to this message: dodge01driver (Jan 20, 2007 11:27 am) stealthb2 (Jan 20, 2007 12:51 pm)

rbryana, It's your throttle position sensor. I had the EXACT same problem with my 2000 Dak. After the dealer screwed the truck up and I had to fix it myself, I discovered it was the TPS. It's a simple fix, too. Bill
#88 of 686 Stuck in Part by dodge01driver Jan 22, 2007 (6:02 pm)
Hey stealthb2, It worked GREAT, it's finished. The locking mechanism in the column was in fact dirty (not bad .. but enough) and dry. With a Q-tip I dug deep and cleaned it and with another Q-tip acting like a small sponge I used 3-n-1 oil to lightly lube the surface where it slides back and forth and other little parts that looked like it needed a little help. The whole job took me about an hour and a half. Your pics helped out nicely. It works GREAT now.    My Wife Thanks You, My Daughters Thank You and I of course stealthb2 .. I salute you .. "You Da Man"
