#280 of 1282 06 1500 5.7 Hemi Trany or Brake Shutter in Reverse?? by lukester1 Nov 16, 2007 (5:49 pm)
I have this model in 4X4 with the auto and tow package. I bought it new. It has 25k with the 36k warranty. It's a phantom problem as it has only occurred 5 times.   Problem: When it occurs, and only in reverse, it feels like a shutter - like I'm driving over a bunch of little speed bumps. Just returned from dealer and they said they could not reproduce concern. Ran diagnostics with no problems found.   It has done it to me cold and hot, when backing straight and backing while turning. It has only occurred in 2 wheel drive as it has seen very little 4X4 time.   I think it's a 45RFE trany. I thought it might be a servo not pulling in the reverse band but was told it doesn't have bands or drums like older trannies? Could it be an Anti-lock Brake problem?   Truck runs and shifts well otherwise. What should I tell my dealer? How can I help them find the problem?   Any help please.....Trying to fix under warranty or cover myself for after. Replies to this message: kcram (Nov 17, 2007 2:18 pm)
#281 of 1282 Dodge 2500 tranny by snpanderson Nov 17, 2007 (10:27 am)
I own a 95 2500 Dodge 4x4 diesel AT. The more I read everyones entries the more worried I become. 139K with 10K prof. rebuilt tranny. Feels like it is slipping in low gears, passes the rpm shift point so you have to back the fuel back down to catch a gear and finally in the morning when the truck is cold I back out of my parking spot and try to shift into any forward gear and the truck acts like it is in neutral ( if I let it sit for awhile and start it again-all of the sudden I shift it and it works fine). My warranty expired because of time elapsed. Local mechanics are willing to tear it apart for a price but nothing is ever solved.

Replying to: lukester1 (Nov 16, 2007 5:49 pm) This may not be your transmission at all, but instead your rear diff. Check that the fluid in the diff is the correct type and amount. If you have a limited slip, this will magnify the problem.   kcram - Pickups Host
#283 of 1282 96 ram 1500 trans pan by ac9304 Nov 17, 2007 (6:35 pm)
I just changed the trans fluid and filter on my 1500. when i dropped tha pan i saw that the last time someone did this they must have used a wire brush to clean off the old gasket and left deep groves on the rim of the pan. i smoothed it out and re installed the new gasket, filter and pan. i put the bolts through the pan, set the gasket on the bolts and the rings on top of the gasket. the next day my ram dumped trans fluid all over the ground. what did i do wrong? ac9304
#284 of 1282 Possible Problems Ahead? by moparornocar08 Nov 24, 2007 (12:47 pm)
Just bought a '99 Ram about two months ago, Quad Cab, 5.9, 4X4, leather, all the bells and whistles, and was owned by a state trooper. The motor is strong and everything feels mechanically solid except for one thing: when on the highway (about 60), the rpms will fluctuate about 100-200 rpms occasionally. It doesn't happen as often when the cruise is off, but it still sometimes occurs. The transmission was a quart low, but it was topped off with the correct fluid. I know this truck is a lot heavier than my old '84, and it only has a 3:55 rearend, but it's driven on mostly flat ground with occasional hills (that's where I can definitely feel the extra weight). I don't think that it is, but could it possibly be normal for this truck, especially when driving into moderate headwinds? Message #199 sounds like a good possible fix if there is something wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: joemc1 (Nov 24, 2007 1:27 pm) moparornocar08 (Nov 24, 2007 4:11 pm)

#287 of 1282 1991 Dodge ram tranny problem by gkey Nov 24, 2007 (6:26 am)
I was driving down the road and the trans. just stopped pulling. I shut the truck down for about 5 minutes and it started pulling again for about 10 minutes or so. Same thing over and over. Is it the fluid and filter or something major?

Replying to: joemc1 (Nov 24, 2007 1:27 pm) Do you have any idea how long it could be before I start having some serious issues?

Replying to: morganoi41 (Jul 31, 2007 7:04 pm) Do you know if this method can be used on a regular Ram 1500?
