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

Replying to: git_r_done02 (Jan 02, 2009 5:01 pm) 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. Regards, Dusty
