#840 of 1274 transmission dodge ram 1500 by jeriz Feb 09, 2009 (9:06 am)
my husband has a 1500 dge ram 1998 p/u. It is in the trans shop for repair. They said that the transmission cooler failed and it let transmission fluid into the radiator and anti freeze into the transmission - is this possible. They are saying to repair could cost up to 2,900.00. Does this seem right? Once the truck gets hot it won't go into gear except for reverse. Once it cools down it does go into gear. Thanks,
#841 of 1274 1996 5.9L 4X4 - Trans won't shift/engine just revs by jrthomas81 Feb 09, 2009 (1:55 pm)
HELP! I have an issue with my father-in-laws truck. I borrowed it to tow my camper (6000lbs) and had a trans line blow on my way home. I replaced the line on the side of the road and could only get my hands on about 75-80% of dex-4 trans fluid. I had to use about 2-3 qts of type F crap to get the truck home. The truck was been sitiing for about a week or so before I could get it to a trans shop. Now it won't move or if it does, it crawls and revs motor. Any advice? I know the trans was HOT when the line blew, but it drove home with no issue once the line was fixed. Should I drop the pan and change the filter? Is it ok to blow the remaining fluid out of the aux cooler with compressed air so I can assure that there is no type F in the trans when I start filling it back up?

Have I got one for everyone - I have a 2006 2500 Diesel with 35Ks and I am having to replace my transmission! Because it is 5 months past the 3 year (obviously not the 100K) they will not stand by their product. Any suggestions or has anyone else had issues with their transmission with so few miles?

Replying to: skkat (Nov 08, 2006 9:14 am) no it does not need PCM .first 3 gears are manual only over drive uses electronics sounds like the governer could be stuck or they left a check ball out of the valve body could be a few things PCM is not one

Replying to: jrthomas81 (Feb 12, 2009 8:04 am) You can NOT use Dexron, Type F, or "universal" transmission fluid in a Chrysler automatic - those fluids will eat the trans for lunch. Chrysler automatics can only use ATF+3 or ATF+4 depending on the year. If you had a combination of Dexron IV and Type F in there, you are likely looking at a tranny rebuild.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host

Replying to: jrthomas81 (Feb 12, 2009 8:04 am) A fellow I know was, and still is as far as I can tell, a believer that all transmission fluids are "basically the same" because his brother-in-law that's a transmission tech. at a Chevrolet dealership said so. When he put a quart of Dexron in his wife's '99 Caravan I told him that it was definitely the wrong thing to do and that the Dexron could cause damage. He said he wasn't going to spend $5.00 a quart for "Mopar crap" when he could use Dexron-Mercon from Auto Zone at $1.89 a quart. I said you'll be looking at a major problem within 5000 miles.   I was wrong.   The Caravan actually went 7300 miles before the clutches were completely spent. Of course, this only validated that Mopar trannies were a POS in his mind.   Unfortunately, KCRAM is very correct. Success stories with Dexron of non-ATF+ in a Chrysler-built transmission are very, very few, but I've seen a couple of Mopar automatics tolerate a quart of Dexron for a short period (less than a hundred miles) and survive after a complete transmission flush. But in your case I think there was just too much for too long a period.   Chrysler's ATF+ (ATF+, ATF+2, ATF+3 & ATF+4) are proprietary and very specialized fluids that are specifically formulated for compatibility with the Chrysler transmission design. They use a very sophisticated friction modifier ingredient that cannot be duplicated except by the original manufacturer (Havoline for ATF+3 & ATF+4). Adding another type of ATF will quickly destabilize ATF+ and without the correct formula the usual result is excessive clutch and band wear which loads up the transmission with clutch debris (that gray silty stuff) and clogs the transmissions arteries.   Good luck, Dusty Replies to this message: jct43 (Feb 15, 2009 6:53 am) morganv (Feb 15, 2009 7:47 pm) jrthomas81 (Feb 16, 2009 10:10 am) dustyk (Feb 18, 2009 5:55 pm)
