#1100 of 1258 09 Ram 1500 drops idle 3 seconds after coming to stop - almost stalls by asdfdave Jun 26, 2009 (6:13 pm)
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. Replies to this message: canddmeyer (Jul 01, 2009 8:37 pm) asdfdave (Jul 02, 2009 8:09 pm)
#1101 of 1258 2001 dodge 1500 quad cab 5.9 Lt. No reverse by kc124 Jun 27, 2009 (1:21 pm)
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?
#1102 of 1258 2002 1500 RAM TRANS by beachmansc Jun 28, 2009 (11:13 am)
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.
#1103 of 1258 hard shifting by dieselkc Jun 28, 2009 (10:16 pm)
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.

#1105 of 1258 Trans by pete87 Jun 29, 2009 (9:41 am)
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.

Replying to: suznsand (Jun 29, 2009 6:52 am) will the engine still turn over? if so then that is the conditions that indicated a ECM failure(900.00 repair) on my truck.   try removing+Positive+ battery connection and leave it that way for a couple of minutes. re-connect +Positive+ connection and try to start truck.(maybe you'll get lucky)   dump codes if you can.

Replying to: cwiseguy (Jun 23, 2009 9:16 am) Well here is an update...   I had the Governor solenoid and Governor sensor replaced...I had the fluid and filter changed and the bands adjusted...   It did not fix anything...$400 and the same problem...   The tranny guy said I had the normal stuff in the pan for 80,000 miles and a little more than the average...   Does anyone have any other ideas...   My next one will be a manual tranny...   Thanks, Cwise

Replying to: asdfdave (Jun 26, 2009 6:13 pm) Not a tranny issue. Advise your dealer. There may be a TSB for the problem. It's probably just going to need a software update. Good luck. Replies to this message: asdfdave (Jul 02, 2009 8:09 pm)
#1109 of 1258 RPM's vary at speed by birch2 Jul 02, 2009 (4:33 pm)
Here's what I found to be the issue with my 96 dodge. The transmission would vary ~50-150 Rpms or so when cruising at road speeds. This was after a rebuild and had been giving me grief for quite some time not to mention more waisted money at the dealership. After searching through this site for ideas I checked the "transmission throttle valve cable" for proper adjustment. Well it was NOT adjusted as it should have been. I made the adjustment and the problem went away. I did purchase a new cable and return spring as the old cable seemed to be sticking a little and the spring because of age and loosing a little of its return tension. I think what was happening is that when I would let off the throttle a little the weak spring and the "not so smooth cable" wouldnt allow the TTV to move in sync with the throttle body butterfly. Just my observation, but all seems to be working again with NO variation in rpms when at road speed. The cost of the cable was about $75.00 and the spring was $3.50. Install time was less than a half hour including adjustments.
