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'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.

| I had to change two oxygen sensors, after I changed the number 1 sensor I could not go into reverse. They checked the codes and they told me it was the TMS sensor. Where is this located? | |

| I have a 2002 ram 1500 2WD. When I slow down the transmission is shifting hard, when I take off the transmission shifts fine, this problem just started. If anyone has an please advise me what it is. | |
| You may have too much line pressure. There is a cable that goes from the throttle body to the trans. It controls line pressure. You can adjust it down a little but be carefull not to back it off too much as you will get slipping of the trans clutches. It's very sencitive! I would first check your rear most U joint as it is the one that gets the most wear. A bad U joint will cause a clunk too! Good luck to you friend. Cheers, kc. | |

| I have a 05 3500 and my trans will not come out of first. But I can stop and put it back into park, and then again into drive and it wil go to third gear and then shift into overdrive. Band adjustment has been suggested but just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. If so your know how would be greatly apprec. | |
