We just bought a 1998 Ram 2500. After we got it home (illinois doesn't have a lemon or any used car protection laws) the check engine light came on PO740. My husband did the check you described for flow and got about 3 quarts in 20 seconds. It keeps down shifting back to first and gets really high rpms before it shifts to second. It never did this on our test drive or when we had it overnight. Does it seem that the transmission is toast or should we flush the whole thing out and replace the hoses when we change the transmission fluid and filter. Could it be the filter plugged. It doesn't smell burnt but there are no records of it being changed since 38,000 miles and it has 89,000. The guy to own it before us said he never changed it. It is not burnt smelling smells like old fluid. We are so disqusted this dealer seemed to know before we told him that there were problems. On a dodge will the error code light go out after a little while or after you run the codes? It went out but the codes are still there and the problem is still there. We didn't erase codes the law in illinois doesn't let part stores do that anymore. Could it be the bands just need tightening since the transmission has apparently never been serviced.

Does it sound like the transmission is probably okay then or should we be threatening this dealer to take it back. Only had it less than 48 hours when issue started.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 impossible to stop smoothly

I am interested in purchasing the 5.7L, 3.92 axle, Quad Cab. But I noticed in a couple of trucks (one in particular) that when I attempt to come to a smooth stop - from a low speed - the truck pulses (at a point just shy of stopping) and you can feel the entire truck mildly bucking/pushing/bouncing/shuddering forward - like a barrage of little ripples front-to-back. To all current 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, anyone know if their trucks do this too? Is this an isolated phenomenon? Thank you in advance for your input.

Sounds like the ABS braking system may be malfunctioning or just might be real noticable in your RAM. The ABS pulsates so your wheels dont lock up in a hard brake or on slippery surfaces to keep the wheels rolling so you dont slide out.

It certainly could be an ABS issue - I'm coming to an easy stop in the parking lot of the dealership on a dry pavement (asphalt) and while approaching intersections- so the ABS should never engage in this situation. The salesman acknowledged it himself and even tested another vehicle and we both noticed it more on this particular truck (didn't care for the color/features on the Ram that was smoother). I know this sounds like knit-picking, but if no one else notices this, I suppose I should set my sights on another Ram. Thank you for replying to the original post.
