| I have a 2006 Ram 1500 Quad cab with the 5.7 multi displacement Hemi. On cold and cool mornings or evenings when I start it and place it in gear the transmission will sit there from anywhere of 3 to 6 seconds before it to engages. It's still under warranty and the dealer tells me this is normal. Has anyone else heard of this? | |

my 94 4x4 1500 318 auto did some Very weird stuff* tonite. i went and replaced the egr valve at advance..when i went to leave,the truck literally wouldnt go into ANY gear..i tried revving,etc,no dice..when i shut the truck Off tho,and restarted,it went into 1st....i tried to drive it home,but it was refusing to go from 1st to any other gear....i finally figured out that if i shut the truck off,then restarted it and put it in gear,it would pull off to about 21mph...at which point it would flash and no gears....i made it to about 2 miles away,and this time when i did the restart,the truck pulled off Strong and All 3 gears..PERFECT..so,like,wtf?...then,i get home and revved it,its fine..took it out of gear,put it back in,and im back where i started,no gears..just exactly what in the hell is wrong with this thing? any help would be appreciated. Edit:btw,the guy at advance did a scan,Before this happened,With the truck running.. i asked him if it should be off first and he said no? the truck Never did this until he did that scan,im wondering if he messed it up somehow,by testing it running? the codes came up as code 31 and some weird code hex4?? again,thanx in advance for any help..Brokedown in New York.

Replying to: the7t1merc (Nov 05, 2006 6:46 am) To get the codes manually cycle the key in the following order: on-off-on-off-on but do not start the engine. Watch the check engine light, it will flash. A short pause between flashes will indicate the 2nd digit and a long pause will indicate the beginninng of a new code. When the cycle is complete you will get code #55 Check with your local dealer to see if the engine should be running or off when using a diagnostic code reader.

This past week the transmission on my 02 ram (5.9 4X4)started slipping. Now it only shifts from first into third after 50 MPH and then makes what seem like mini shifts. Still feels like it slips at low speeds. It was 3/4 qt low on fluid and I see some rodent bites in some wires but can't find any cut lines or vacume lines. What is going on??? Engin lite is on so I am going to the dodge dealer asap. Any ideas outthere?

Replying to: rollerdoo (Aug 26, 2006 9:57 am) I am having the exact same problem. According to a response on this forum, it sounds like some of the likely solutions are replacing the tps, or shift solenoids. Are there any other likely problems that I should look into concerning this problem? It also sounds like wiring problems are not uncommon on these systems. I live in Arizona, and I have had more automotive wiring problems (I have 9 cars) since I moved here than I ever did in Oregon. It's phobably not a bad idea to go around the tps connections, transmission wiring connections etc. with a tube of dielectric grease. This has solved many of my wiring problems in the past. Since this seems to be a common problem with these trucks, why do I not see any receall or service bulletins? Maybe Chrysler would not be the fourth best selling auto manufacturer (Toyota is kicking their butt these days) if they treated their customers a little better.
