The check engine light is on in my truck as well. Checked shifter, seems good.

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?

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.

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.

Update. I replaced the transmission speed sensor. Truck shifts smooth and fine now. Part number SU1034 from Auto Zone.com

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

2001 Dodge Ram 46RE Shifting Trouble by cwiseguy

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 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

09 Ram 1500 drops idle 3 seconds after coming to stop - almost stalls by asdfdave

I've had this 5.7L truck only a couple of weeks and noticed this a few times now. I'll approach a signal and after coming to a complete stop - the engine will drop RPM's after a slight pause (3 seconds after dead stop), the lights will dim, the engine will nearly stall and then the RPM's pop back up and the lights are on at full-bright? Any thoughts? Is this a transmission issue? Thanks.
