| 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. | |

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 |

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.

| 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? | |

1999 5.9 diesel 2 WD quad cab with 140k automatic....redlines first gear and will not shift until throttle is released for a couple of seconds...then everything is fine...shifts to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and OD. This will continue 5 out of 6 times after a stop. Does not matter if engine is cold or normal temp...could be 40F or 80F outside temp. Tranny has been maintained with filter/fluid changes every 30 to 40K miles. New VSS with no change. Any ideas as I'm getting very frustrated.
