| My 75000 mi 4.7 has very poor acceleration from idle to 2500 and it also surges under acceleration but not when maintaining speed, any clues? | |
| I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 quad 4x4 with the 5.9L engine. On occasion under full speed it would flutter and lose power for a few seconds, appear to want to stall, all of the gages dip, and then regain normal operation. This happened a few times over the last year. The last time this happened it completely lost power and stalled, no power steering, no power brakes, but electronics such as wipers and radio continued to function. After coming to a stop, the truck immediately started right back up with no problems. The MIL light has been on. I checked it at autozone and the code was P1491 which was for a blown fuse for the AC condensor fan. No other fault codes appeared. Please help. Anybody else have this problem? What should I check? | |

I posted to the transmission problem forum and did not see any activity...I hope I can post it here too... Thanks, , I baby this truck. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 4x4, 360 motor, 5.9 with 46RE, I think. Automatic Tranny. I have 180,000 miles on the truck and motor. I replaced the tranny with a Jasper about 90,000 miles ago. About 30,000 miles ago I had the tranny flushed by a machine. The tranny started shifting funny a few weeks ago. I would give it the gas and it would shift up normally then sometimes it would not shift up, without letting off the gas a bit. I could sometimes take it easy and it would shift fine through the gears. Sometimes I could stand on it, and it would shift fine. The other day it started as normal and will not shift up past 1st gear. I can go in reverse too without a problem. I can put the shifter into 1 and 2 and D and the truck will go but not past 1st gear. I get NO codes but "P doNe." "My first tranny went out with NO notice or acting funny at all. It just quit and the engine kept winding." For the last year or so...If my truck would sit for a day or so, when I went to start it up, the transmission would have to build up pressure for a few seconds before it would finally grab hold and go after putting it in drive...I was told this was normal and not harmful. I was told to change the filter and fluid, along with the governor pressure solenoid and sensor… Does this sound right? When I get the pan off can I do anything else that needs to be done like band adjustment, and to what spec? Taking into consideration the pan is not filled with debris. I guess a CLEAN pan is a GOOD pan. Can I tell if the right fluid has been used in it? Thanks for any help you can give…

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 360 with 46RE tranny. I am having tranny problems... Doing the On-Off-On-Off-On test I get no codes other than "P doNe." Can I use another type of scanner and get codes...OR is this way of getting codes the same? Thanks, Cwiseguy

Replying to: cwiseguy (Jun 24, 2009 7:40 am) I had the Governor solenoid and Governor sensor replaced...I had the fluid and filter changed and the bands adjusted... It did not fix anything...$400 and the same problem... The tranny guy said I had the normal stuff in the pan for 80,000 miles and a little more than the average... Does anyone have any other ideas... My next one will be a manual tranny... Thanks, Cwise

| I have a 05 Ram 1500, with the 5.7, first time i had a problem, the engine light would flicker and the idle was very erratic, it would do it for about 5-10 minutes then quit, I then changed the plugs and wires and seemed to cure the problem, I drove it for about 3 days then it started acting up with a vengence bucking and horrible idle, dropping to 300- 400 rpm then back to normal and no power at all, unless i floored it. It now give me the codes 300, miss fire detected and code 175 fuel system rich right bank #2, I am thinking o2 sensors, but i never had a o2 sensor do that, dont want to be changing 100.00 sensors unless i have to. Any Ideas? | |

hi i have a 2001 1500 1/2 ton 4x4 with a 318. when truck is sitting idling everything is great but SOMETIMES when u drive it and give it to much throttle the rpms climb sometimes red lining before shifting. when going up small hills it does not shift properly. i have changed water pump, oil, air filter, transmission filter and oil, and have added injector cleaner but to no avail. oh and transmission oil was dirt but there was no a abundance of fillings and no pieces in filter or oil.i had plugs and wires changed last fall. tommorrow i check plugs to make sure they are wearing properly. does anyone else have any ideas the next step is to change fuel pump but they are 400.00 for a jobber brand so i would like to try everyhting else possible before that. Thnaks in adavance for any help!!
