#789 of 1283 99 dodge ram by ptonyt Jan 05, 2009 (8:35 am)
Bought a 99 dodge ram quad cab with 80k on it last tuesday. First time I took it on the highway the shifting seemed a little funny but being my first truck didn't think to much of it. about 100 miles later... I was no longer able to go 75 on the highway... when the truck shifted into 4th or 5th it maintained speed at 65 ish at 1800rpm... when I tried to accellerate it would drop gears and sit around 3000 rpm and not accelerate with the pedal to the floor. Then when I got off the highway I could drive fine in 1 and 2 but as soon as I give it more gas and it drops a gear I got it to 4000 rpm.. but no power what so ever.... just kinda stayed the same speed.... Just bought the truck... guy said he never had a problem with it... and its never towed anything other than a single 4 wheeler.... any thoughts what this could be?   Thanks! Tony

#791 of 1283 Dodge Ram wont shift into park or reverse by yares Jan 05, 2009 (10:34 am)
My 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel truck wont shift into park or reverse. Also the headlights and tail lights flash and the gear indicator lights flash. This happened right after shifting out of 4 wheel drive., When shifting out of 4 wheel dirve, the truck made a bad gear grinding noise and the the shifter stick for the main automatic transmssion shuddered and shook badly.   Has anyone else encountered this?   Any suggestions?   Diana dyaresgmail.com

On the way home from work it was getting warm in the truck so I turned off the heater and the tranny started working perfectly, wierd I thought, I turned it back on and instantly started acting up again, turn it off and fine. It does it with the with the heater, air conditioner, and the defroster. I figure there must be a short somewhere but I don't know exactly. If you have any thoughts on this I would love hear them.

#796 of 1283 96 Ram 46RE 3000 rpm@70mph by FlyDay Jan 05, 2009 (7:07 pm)
Read almost every post here, our prob is just a hair different. My B-I-L's truck was fine when I sold it to him w/ 155,000 miles on it. No drivetrain trouble ever.   A few weeks ago it began this deal in the title. Normally it runs right around 2000-2100 rpm 70 mph. Now it's closer to 3000. It shifts normally but won't go into OD/ lockup, don't know which. OBD-I set a code of 37 and 21. 37 is the torque converter clutch solenoid, according to the book. They told my B-I-L it was the lock up solenoids. I said fine and changed that today.   Truck runs the same. It now has 185,000 miles on it. Fluid was stinky and dark red, but not much in the pan in the way of metal, a few bronze flakes. I actuated the OD switch many times to see the difference. At each push of the button, on or off, the rpm clicked up about 200, then a few seconds later returned to its previous reading. So is the thing going into OD, but not locking up? Locking up w/ no OD? All/neither of the above?? Sorry for the long post... Replies to this message: mtnbiker11386 (Apr 03, 2009 6:38 am)

Replying to: git_r_done02 (Jan 04, 2009 6:09 pm) Ok man, got the tranny fixed! Thanks for the info on what to try. You will never believe what was causing the problems. I went around to a couple of more rtanny shops and the last one told me to check the battery terminals to make sure its making a good connection, if that doesn't fix check the wire loom going to the tranny from the alternator and that doesn't work its the TPS. So i went home we cleaned the battery terminals and tightened them up and now the tranny works like brand new. Its the craziest thing I've ever heard of but it worked. And whats bad is the terminals weren't gunked up or anything. So anyone else having shifting problems and can't figure it out, check those battery cables!                                                                                 Thanks again dustyk
