Hi Bob, went throught the same thing, I would highly recommend taking the truck to the dodge dealer, the dealers may costs alittle more, but its worth it in the end. They have the up to date scanners, that others cant get. Anyway, I fixed mine finally by replacing the speed sensor on the tranny. Check the wires under the coating from end to end, check battery cables for good connections. Try this! Remove negative cable then possitive cable, wait 2-3 minutes, replace possitive then neg. Try to drive it and see if it shifts now? This resets computer. Only lasts till you turn off truck again. May get you home-or out of a bad location. Good Luck.!

98 Ram 1500 4x4 46RE tranny won't shift by lear70

Well, tried a known-good replacement PCM from a friend from church and, of course, nothing changed. Looking for low-mileage used tranny now, rather than a rebuild, as I only drive 8k-12k a year and that would last me several more years.
 
So much for the STEALership, there's a reason I didn't go there for ANYTHING for the last 7 years, and why, likely, I won't go again for ANOTHER 7 years. Or more. I'd have just thrown $700 away and not solved my problem.
 
Good luck to the rest of you. With this many transmission problems, I am now of the opinion that Dodge cannot be trusted with their automatic transmissions. Manual shift from now on with Dodge or buy a Ford.

lear 70, sorry to hear about your truck, I too have been thru this, however I replaced the tranny 3 times before I figured it out. So I feel that it is your speed sensor, located on the tranny itself, driver side and about 7oclock. Sensor is pretty cheap compared. But let me tell you, if you can disconnect your battery cables, this resets your computer, connect cables back, should drive normally now, just until you shut it off again. I bet its that sensor or the wire maybe damaged as mine was, however you cant see the wire because it is under a protected coating, so pull it off and check the wire from end to end. You can replace the sensor yourself. Be sure your battery cables are clean, clean, clean...Let me know.

Dont buy a tranny just yet... Replace the speed sensor first.

od not locking out by maxamus

I have a 1998 5.9 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 pick up. Gasoline engine.
when driving it apears to jump in and out of overdrive.
 
The fault codes that come up are
P1391 intermittent loss of CMP/CKP
P0740 tcc torque converter clutch
 
Is there any way to test the TCC solenoid?
I have also ordered a new auto trans sump gasket and trans filter.
I have ordered a new TPS
 
ps i have also noticed that at about 40mph when changing up there is a loud resonating sound, this only apears when changing up at gradual throttle opening.
If i accelerate quite fast no noise at all?
 
Any help would be greatly apreciated

My transmission slips out of overdrive after about 25 minutes of driving, then about 10 minutes later, my transmission temp. light comes on. The truck shifts fine, I notice a little bit of a difference when it slips out of OD, other then that, it is ok.Is my tranny going? I had it replaced once already !!
