#1090 of 1274 Has anybody checked the shifter?? by bigstive Jun 13, 2009 (6:26 pm)
After seeing all these post, it reminded me of my problems. I bought a 2000 dodge ram 4x4 1500 5.9L WITH 85,000 MILES. The check engine light came on after i drove just 250 miles after purchase. I did buy the car as is no guarentee, shoulda realized something was up when that wasn't given for a truck with only that many miles. Anyways i did get a 1 year warrenty unlimited mile for $440 bucks. Anyways i took my truck to the local Chrysler dealership after i took it in to get a tranny flush to see if that would help withe the engine light which said it was a TCC selenoid p1744 code(forget) What sucks is my warrenty didn't cover the tcc selenoid so i paid for it and install and what pisses me off is that i was charged for a tranny flush and new filter and pan when it already had all that stuff from the day before($133). That's when i felt it was all a scam. They put the new tcc on(cost me $650 bucks with tranny flush and filter/pan), the check engine light came on after 127 miles, took it back since the part was covered by the service shop of the chrysler garage, said they would put a new tcc in, got that done, left light same code came on again after 112 miles, took back said they will clean and put new wire harness on, had that done light came on same code took back, said it was the flex plate or pressure plate whatever, had that done left light same code came on after 27 miles. Took it back, and by then the garage probably didn't want to pay for it anymore, so i get screwed more they say they want to put a new pump in then say they will contact my warrenty company, they say they won't cover it, so the service rep at the garage i want argued and got them to atleast get me a used tranny with 50,000+miles on it. They put it on which that cost me $550 bucks waiting to get a rebate check thing from warrenty for atleast $350 bucks, but i probably won't see that from them from what i have heard about Great Lakes Warrenty. But the truck is running just fine after 90 miles so far. But i noticed the shifter when i shift it into D it is actually in D1 so in order to be in DRIVE, the shifter has to look like it is in N(neutral). I think the previous owners may have driven it in D1 and maybe driving it fast in that position let alone in Overdrive. That also could be the problem for some others, not sure. Anyways if the Check engine light comes on i will think it is the sensor. ALSO how can i fix the shifter so it looks like it is in the proper position, so that others like my fiance can drive and not have to worry about her remembering that it has to look like it is in neutral?   Not sure if i will ever drive a dodge again, since this was the first Chrysler vehicle i ever bought. Before i only had Ford, Chevy. But i like the looks of Dodge and might take a chance someday, but this experience does make me sour towards dodge, warrenty companies, little dealerships, and big dealerships with the service departments.

Replying to: bigstive (Jun 13, 2009 6:26 pm) The check engine light is on in my truck as well. Checked shifter, seems good.

Replying to: tamsguy62 (Jun 11, 2009 3:46 pm) I wish I could help, but I came on here looking for answers about the same thing. I have a 2008 Ram 1500 with 11,500 miles. Two days ago I drove about 1/2 mile to a stop sign. After pulling through the intersection I felt the engine rev and looked down to see the engine light on. I backed into a side street to turn around only to discover that I had no forward gears at all. The dealership wants to take the trans off and take a look inside to see what happened. It doesn't sound right to me. Have you had any luck finding out what your problem is? Replies to this message: tamsguy62 (Jun 18, 2009 2:48 pm) tamsguy62 (Jul 15, 2009 2:21 pm)

Replying to: aimlessjim (Jun 18, 2009 2:39 pm) Thanks for the reply. I have'nt much time to mess with it, and have'nt gotten any answers from anyone yet. With mine, the engine light never came on. I'll keep digging for an answer and let you know if I figure it out.
#1094 of 1274 1999 Ram 1500 4X4 trans eratic shift,Clunk hard shift by teddy1177 Jun 19, 2009 (9:16 pm)
Hey,Can any one HELP??I have a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 it runs great but the tranny seems to shift hard and can be a littl era tic going in to 3rd it also clunks when put into gear like the u joints are bad but they are OK.I just changed the fluid and filter but did not help.Someone said it could be the speed sencer on the tranny or the wire going to the sencer may be bad.My check eng light is on but when they checked it they said that it came up as high volts at down flow O2 sencer.If anyone knows what it may be please let me know.If it is the speed sencer should it reset if if the battery is disconected ahd shift better untill the check eng lite comes back on.I was told that some of the units that the auto parts places use will not pick up some of the codes.

Replying to: tamsguy62 (Jun 11, 2009 3:46 pm) i see all these problems you people are having with dodge trannys i dont understand it at all every truck i have ever owned has been a dodge of some sort my first one was a 74 d100 i bought it with 300,000 miles on it and drove it for 8 years and another 250,000 miles the only thing i ever had to fix on it was a head a carburator and the normal consumables (brakes/shocks/tires ) iv had a 83 b150 that went 275000 miles before selling it (running fine) a 87 b250 that had 235000 miles (it ran great a tree fell on it) and i currently drive a 1998 ram 1500 4x4 quad cab it just turned 110,000 miles and it runs and drives like the day i drove it off the showroom floor iv never had a trans fail on me keep in mind you only get out what you put in if you dont take care of your truck it will fail you if you treat it like a race car it will fail you 99.99%of driver abuse the hell out of a car and all the while think they are great drivers the moral of the story is .......take good care of your truck and drive it the way it was designed to be driven and you will never have a problem

#1098 of 1274 2001 Dodge Ram 46RE Shifting Trouble by cwiseguy Jun 23, 2009 (9:16 am)
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… Replies to this message: bobwinner (Jun 23, 2009 9:37 am) cwiseguy (Jun 29, 2009 5:19 pm)

Replying to: cwiseguy (Jun 23, 2009 9:16 am) I can't answer most of your questions, but yes, the hesitation is normal for a Dodge. The pressure does not build in Park. If, immediately upon start, you place it in Drive (with foot on brake, of course), pressure builds faster. it just isn't worth the trouble.bre
