| I have a 2005 2500 with 5.9 cummins. Over the last several months it has become impossible to get it out of park when started in the morning. It acts as if there is a sensor that will not let you shift it until the engine has idled for several minutes (5-10). I have ask other local owners and they have not had the problem. The truck has 150,000 miles on it and did not do this when it was new. | |

Just bought the truck 18 months ago. I have towed, long hauled, pulled semis out of interstate medians. Had no problems. However, about 2 months ago the tranny started getting more difficult to drop into overdrive and achieve lockup, when i first bought it it would drop in around 45 - 50 mph, now i have to be going 60 downhill to get it to go into overdrive. Took it to trans shop, road tested and road tested, computer diagnostic, etc. The only thing that showed up was a command from the PCM telling the tranny to drop out of overdrive; not an error command just a regular command. THE PROBLEM is the PCM shouldnt be doing this, not as a regular command. To compound the problem i added 150+hp (above stock) to the motor, cant even use 1/4 throttle. Afraid to melt transmission then my work truck will be down for weeks. I want to build a tranny to hold the added power. However, would like to figure out how to fix the overdrive problem before i start throwing money away. ANY IDEAS, HINTS, ADDVICE is welcome! |

my dads 96' dodge ram revs up but doesn't shift, and sometimes even cuts off when he slows down and lets off the accelerator. What could be going on??? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Take it to an amaco transmission shop, it will cost 75 bucks for them to road test, visually inspect and if that yields no results they will tear it apart and find the problem. Once they take it apart they will tell u what is wrong, if it is too expensive, and you would rather replace with new aftermarket tranny, they will reassemble and all you are out is 75 bucks.

when I first start truck the trans shifts well. when I come to a stop and go situation it seems it won't go back in low gear. Feels like the brakes are hanging up. If I stop and drop the shifter all the way in 1 and start there it does great. Just does it when Ileave it in drive.
