Hey tttony! I just got my 2003 out of the shop for similar problems. I don't know how much 99's and 2003's share but here is what I found. My transmission control module (stupid computer) just quit talking to the main computer. The only gear I had was 3rd, period! No first, second, or overdrive. Also, no codes where shown at all. The shop hooked up their OBD tester and nothing came up. Took about 2hrs of troubleshooting to figure it out. It only takes about 1/2 hour to install the new part. On my truck it is on the firewall, left of the engine if you are looking at the front of the truck. Has two or three bundles of wires plugged into it.
Luckily mine was covered under the extended warranty. The module was about $400.00 if I would have had to buy it.
 
If this is what they think is wrong you need to MAKE SURE that they actually take the plugs apart that plug into the module and inspect the wires. After installing the new module my truck still didn't work. They took the plugs apart and found that the main power feed wire was broken inside the plug. After fixing that everything worked great. You don't want to buy a new module if you don't have to!
 
Good luck!

Auto trans-both lockup and overdrive problems by colorado16

I had a guy put an overhaul kit in my 1995 Dodge Diesel auto trans. The converter lockup will not stay in. Kicks in and out. TPS replaced. Also VSS. Added ground wire to trans. Now the overdrive is kicking in and out. Problem has to be in transmission since there was no problem before it was worked on. Any ideas? The guy doing this only worked on Chevy transmissions. This was his first Dodge. Better be his last. HELP!

I have a 2005 Ram 1500, 5.7L Hemi, Sports package. occasionally I get a whinning sound from under the truck. The whinning ramps up with speed and down as I slow down. I think it is coming from the rear end and not the tranny.
 
Just after I bought the truck in 04, the rear end had to be totally replaced when the anti slip diff disintegrated The truck is used to tow a travel trailer during warmer months.
 
 Any ideas as to what the whinning sound it. Hate to take the truck to the dealer and be told it is nothing ?

I just rebuilt my tranny 30,000 ago. Everything has been working fine. Plowed snow and reverse started slipping. Forward gears all work fine. I need suggestions where to start. Low range reverse clutch band> Convertor locks up fine in Low and 2. Valve body issue?
