| hey Guys, I've got a real problem with my truck. Here goes..I have a '03 3500 4x4 that I purchased for my hotshot company. I bought the truck used in '07 with 25,000 miles. Thinking that this unit was almost new. At 75,000 miles the original 5 spd manual tranny gave up on me. Chewing both upper shaft and lower shaft front gear teeth. Really ugly inside. Okay, had Dodge replace with new, 13,000 miles later...same thing. I had that tranny rebuilt, Dodge would not warranty the 2nd. Two months later, I lost 5th in Louisiana and then drove it home. Okay, I heard the NV5600 6spd is good for a 2 ton truck. So, $5,500.00 later the truck was converted to the 6spd. That lasted, 1 month and now has the 6th tranny in the truck. At this time, I am now starting to have problems with the truck again. I quit my business due to repair cost. What the heck is going on !?! I can not find anybody who can tell me why this has happened to my truck...i.e. me. Can you help? Thanks | |
| I bet one of your questions is what are you pulling? My trailer is 40ft x 102" dove tail, goose neck hitch. The trailer weighs around 8100 lbs. The load weights varied with the average around 10,000lbs. Now, I bet you're going to say that the truck is at its limit for weight...explain to me, why are there trucks here that pull a 32' cattle trailer, 7 days a week, fully loaded running up and down the road as fast as they can pull and not having problems? | |
| i have a2000 Ram 1500 , going down the road 55-60 the tranny slips out and acts like its in low gear any thoughts whats going on | |
I have a 2008 ram 1500 with the m/d hemi...not sure of the tranny model, but it is an automatic. the problem I am having is every once in a while, I will lose overdrive, when I stop and try to go...the tranny slips. If I shift from reverse and back to drive...no fix. the only way to fix it is to shut off the engine and restart. then everything works fine again. I even tried shifting through the tow/haul and overdrive off selection, but the only fix is a restart. could not get any codes from my code reader...ideas?

I have a 1998 Dosde Ram 1500, V6fine into higher gears Magnum with 227,000 miles on it I just purchased. Seller said tranny was rebuilt prior to sale. Truck had slite hesitation from 1st to 2nd gear but drove fine into higher gears or when accelerated. Today I was driving at 45 mph when the vehicle totally went out of gear and either would not shift into gear or stay in gear. Very weak reverse to no reverse too. Fluid was clean and full. No leaks. Was told might be the torque converter, not by a mechanic. Truck makes a whining sound when shifted into a gear. Seller also removed the OD Shifter and put in a regular shifter, truck is automatic. He said it just need to be plugged back in, thought that was odd. Is this a difficult fix if it is the torque converter and will this solve the problem if the tranny is screwed. Not sure of the maintenance or fluid type used. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP!!
