#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

Replying to: dustyk (Jan 04, 2009 5:11 pm) I was driving the truck today and of course the tranny was acting up constantly. 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

#799 of 1283 Noise from Ram 2500 5 speed manual trans by silverado65 Jan 08, 2009 (4:27 pm)
I have a 98 Ram 2500 with Cummins engine and 5 speed manual transmission. When the temperature is cold outside, I hear a "squishing" noise coming from the transmission when I start out. It sounds like oil being forced out through the gears. This only happens when it is cold and when you first start out, at less than 10 mph. Once it is driven a block or so the noise goes away. I have changed the transmission oil and still have same problem. The clutch was replaced about 5000 miles ago. This is a recent problem, within the last couple of weeks. Any ideas?
