#249 of 1279 2007 Dodge Ram diesel auto transmission by mikeyjohn Oct 08, 2007 (8:23 am)
I have had my truck since last June to pull my 5th wheel.I notice that sometimes my transmission shift lever will not go into park but gets stuck in reverse and then my horn will start beeping like mad and the truck will start rolling backwards. 2 weeks ago I put a hole in the front cap of my new 5th wheel and damaged my box rail. I am hearing the Dodge knew this was a problem with the transmission and instead of fixing it, they added this beeping sound, yet I can't find anything in the manual to verify this. It is going to cost me about a grand to fix the damage. Has anyone had a similar problem or have heard of this? Replies to this message: kcram (Oct 08, 2007 4:44 pm) mikeyjohn (Oct 09, 2007 7:59 am)

Replying to: mikeyjohn (Oct 08, 2007 8:23 am) Yep, the "alarm" was made a recall for 2003-2005 and is standard on 2006-2008 trucks. If your shifter is indeed getting stuck in R, you definitely want to get the linkage checked. I've not had that happen with my 2005 3500 in 50,000 miles.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: mikeyjohn (Oct 09, 2007 7:59 am)

Replying to: kcram (Oct 08, 2007 4:44 pm) Thanks, I thought this might be the reason but I did not read this anywhere. I will get my tranny checked after my damage is fixed.

#253 of 1279 automatic transmission slips by p2369 Oct 10, 2007 (7:15 am)
I have a 2002 1500 and it's real sluggish in reverse. I push the gas and it revs and slowly backs up but slips as it goes. I have no problems in drive. Fluid level is fine. I'm afraid to have it looked at, don't need headache.   p2369
#254 of 1279 2005 Ram Downshifts while deaccelarating by harold05 Oct 11, 2007 (5:39 am)
19K miles, 4.7L motor 4x4. Vehicle purchased used, no prior history found. When descending hill (cruise on), rpms' spike to 3800-4000 from 2000 and acts like a jake brake on a diesel. Any thoughts? (4 trips to dealer, no trouble found.)
#255 of 1279 Tranny #2 problems by kcndd Oct 18, 2007 (8:21 am)
Got an '06 2500 d-sel 4x4. With 88K on the odom we are having tons of transmission problems. (Bought October of 07)Local dealer replaced 1st unit due to slipping & said clutches were fused. 2nd unit started slipping after about 20K miles on it. Seems to me it may be a heat issue as it doesn't slip nearly as much when transmission is cold. We haul campers 3x times a week ranging in weight 4,000 - 12,000 lbs each thru West Virginia mountains. Dealer isn't sure what to do next. They want to replace valve body. Anybody out there had similar problems? Can't get much info from Chrysler about any transmission problems/service notices. HELP
#256 of 1279 Transmission slipping? by joemc1 Oct 20, 2007 (5:14 am)
I have a '95 Dodge 2500 w/ Cummins and 196k on the odometer.At 160,000 my tranny started to shift/fluctuate 200-300 rpms at highway speed55-75mph.This is an intermittent problem I have no symptom or warning when it is going to happen I took it to the Dodge dealer and they replaced it with a reman ($2500.00). The warranty was 3yrs/36,000 for the reman. Well at 35,400 and 4 years and 196k the same condition returned. I took it to a highly recommended tranny shop and they rebuilt it ($2400.00). I left for Florida, not towing,got two hundred miles away from home and the same situation occurred.Turned around took it back they went through it checking soleniods etc.I took it back, drove around for a week, planned to leave for FL (1280miles)on Sunday 10/21 when lo and behold on 10/19 I am traveling down the Interstate and the same conditon occurs! It shifts and runs well in all gears but at highway speeds it seem to slip in and out of overdrive. I'm so disgusted right now that I'm thinking of going to FL anyway. I will be towing 8k on the way back. I'm thinking throttle position sensor. Am I correct? Replies to this message: kcram (Oct 20, 2007 1:43 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Aug 23, 2007 4:57 pm) Hi,    Well I finally got around to changing the governor pressure solenoid and governor pressure sensor. Works like a charm now. YAY! If I had to point the finger at one component I would blame it on the bracket thats holds the sensor in place. The senor was VERY loose because the bracket wasn't holding it tightly in place. When I replaced the sensor the new one was loose also. I slightly bent the tabs in and now the sensor doesn't move. Thanks, Wolfer

Replying to: joemc1 (Oct 20, 2007 5:14 am) I'm assuming you got a new torque converter each time with the reman and rebuild. Your symptoms sound a lot like the TC having problems staying locked in the upper gears (it only locks in 3 and 4). Yes, the TPS can affect that and would be the first thing to check - if that doesn't solve the problem, I'd want the TC looked at as well after spending all that $$.   kcram - Pickups Host
