I'm assuming this is a RAM diesel. Do you know which transmission is in this vehicle?

The converter on my 01 RAM decided to stop locking in about a year ago. I don't drive the truck a lot. I bought it 2 years ago & it had 40,000 miles on it. When the converter stop working i noticed right away. It was fine as i was driving one day. I came to a stop sign, stopped, took off and noticed it didn't lock up. Now i'm using it a little more than before and i'd like my lock-up back. There's a little over 50,000 miles on it now. I took an ohm reading on the TCC, O/D, And GOV. solinoids, all are acceptable. I replaced the GOV. pressure senser just in case. Other than this the tranny seams fine. No shift problems. It did set a code in the PCM (1740).
 By the way the filter and ATF+4 fluid have been changed.
  
Any ideas?
 
I could really use some help diagnosing this problem.
 
thanks

You probably have a 47RE. My apologies, I went back and looked at the previous posts, but I'm not sure what the actual symptoms are. Could you please be more specific?
 
Thanks,
Dusty

Does the transmission always go through 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shift sequence in normal driving?

Ya bud im not really sure what tranny it has but its a 24 valve cummins and its got about 166k on it with about 30k on the tranny rebuild. And since the rebuild I haven't towed much of anything. Before the rebuild I towed stuff all the time but I try to take it easy now.

Ya. Normal shifts, the O/D still works. It can be turned on & off. Just no lock-up.

To be honest with you I would not be suspecting the transmission just yet.
 
On 47REs the operation of the torque converter clutch is initiated by the Power Train Control Module (PCM) and very dependent on engine performance, load conditions, and driver input.
 
It would be very helpful to have a trouble code, which is accessible by the operator.
 
I would recommend checking the Throttle Position Lever that's mounted on the transmission for sticking or binding, or a broken or missing return spring. This problem can also be caused by an out-of-adjustment throttle cable. A bad Throttle Position Sensor can also cause this problem. Lastly, converter lock-up problems can be the result of poor engine performance.

Dusty

Possibilities:
 
*Throttle Valve Lever on transmission stuck or binding, or cable kinked, damaged or binding.
 
*Throttle linkage sticking/binding.
 
*O/D switch circuit inoperative or switch defective.
 
*Engine not coming to full operating temperature, or defective Transmission Temperature Sensor.
 
*Transmission Valve Body - Low/Reverse Solenoid accumulator or switch valves sticking or leaking pressure, warped valve body or leaky separator plate; dirty valve body.
 
*Weak or defective TCC Solenoid.
 
*Worn Torque Converter Clutch.
 
*Bad PCM.
 
Regards,
Dusty
