done it all man, when I say Ive either cleaned or replace and check continuity done it all. Every ground you can come up with on these trucks ive taken it off cleaned and or replace the ground wire completely. my question is...whats the fix? What does dodge say? Or is there anything official from them that im unable to find? Or did dodge just say screw it?

done the whole truck front to back every since wire harness ground and anything that looked like a wire got some grease.

trans is less than a year old, been dealing with this since 2009 that won't help, been there done it got the shirt and its still doing it. NONE of the bandaids list here or anywhere on the net have helped, Ive tested each and every wire for continuity, my truck has been sitting for a year now while I did all this and no luck. New battery cables both sides +- 3 or 4 speed sensors 2 complete pigtails for said speed sensor. filters, aluminum foil blah blah blah. Nothing works not even for a day. 3 different alts all returned, then had the original completely rebuilt. Timbo apps was my first mod, lasted about 3 months with that and here we are in 2017 i have a monster of a truck but the sumb!tch cant find a gear for nothing. Does ANYONE here know if this has been addressed with dodge? Thats the question that should be answered, not 22 pages of here do this or here do that. Whats the fix if this wasn't happening when these hunk of scrap metals rolled off the lots?

i have a brand new ATS trans with a lock up controller, still does it. Im about to ghost drive mine off a cliff. has anyone asked dodge the question...why?

I've done that and even had it rebuilt been through 3 brand spankin new ones

ive been looking for it since 2009.

3 different volt meters all connections all throughout the truck greased, just recently had the alt rebuilt with brand new everything from a reputable shop and he even let me watch him do it. He also has heard of this issue and doesn't believe its an alt issue. This is obviously a dodge issue isn't it? I mean there would have to be a recall or something. Ive spent way too much time on this issue and from what I read TONS have this issue. Whats the fix?

I find it beyond crazy that there is NO solution to this problem. What does dodge say about this? I know it an issue because EVERYONE knows the issue. Whats the solution? No bandaids please, ive tried them all.

Ive done everything listed here in this thread and then some. Still doing it and Im done. Anyone wanna buy a 2001 with 170000 miles brand new ATS stage 5 tranny and common bolt ons

you and me both man. I've got a camaro on the back burner the last 3 years because of truck issues.

yeah definitely doing a change before I drive it again. Thanks for all the ideas all who chimed in I learned a lot more using my volt meter and checking wires. Truck as of now not for sale hahaha

well I believe I may have figured it out. I kept getting the 0720 code for speed sensor so I went and bought a new one. Upon removing the old one I could see the magnet on the end was covered in very fine metal shavings (new transmission) so I replaced the sensor and drove for well over two hours and at least 10 key cycles stop and go traffic, raising and lowering the lockup speeds with the controller. Its yet to duplicate my issues so as of now Im gonna hope that was the fix. Gonna order some new amsoil tranny fluid and do a complete change and filter. Fingers crossed...

fuel pressure stays at 17psi only code I'm getting now it the 0720, the spitting and sputtering feels like the tranny in and out really fast or sometimes it feels as if Im stuck between shifts or stuck in a gear, pressing the accelerator does nothing then all the sudden it will "catch"

where would one get this miller tool? Ive never done this but I did trace all the wires and I confirmed continuity to the tranny harness. When this happens driving its like its spitting and sputtering rams drop tranny feels like its disengaging then suddenly grabs, gas peddle has no response at all.

all wires to the transmission have continuity, took it out for a drive again and it started doing it again. I got a P0720 code again for the speed sensor, putting another new one in today. Really tempted to sell this thing but I've got so much blood sweat and tears in this thing.

Thanks, I'm giving it one more shot to figure this out, if not I'm selling it.

Im the second owner bought it from a 73 yr old man and had 90,000 miles on it well taken care of and he documented everything. I Bought it in 2007 ish and it started doing this about 1-2 yrs later. what you see in my sig is the only thing I've done to. The ATS came with a lockup controller. Recently replaced the VP with a blue chip. haven't really checked that but I just got back from a long drive and its doing it more than ever now with P0720 code output speed sensor. replaced it 3 times already so Im gonna assume the plug end is bad somewhere.

they "look" perfect always clean and always lubed up. Im about to do a continuity on all the neg cables now

they looked good when I did the swap and since then I pulled it completely out and checked each wire for exposure and connections with electrical grease. I mean it could be a pin but I looked at all the connections and you can see plain as day the pins are intact in all the connections, but as many times Ive unhooked and reconnected it could be possible to have a loose pin. Im at a loss now and completely bored now. the only GOOD thing about the truck is, no truck payment.

bandaid has done nothing. I took it for a ten mile or so test drive after I put the alt back on and it hiccuped really quick I just check the key codes and the P0720 has popped up again. I know it can't be the sensor Ive been thru 3 of them and they all still work brand new out of the box. Pigtails might be my next choice or new battery cables all around but again just more money thrown into this thing.

Tranny is a complete brand new build, they even sent me a brand new valve body and sensors to replace and they sent me their "band aid" fix like the BD fix.

brand new ATS stage 4 and I was dealing with this issue prior to the tranny swap. I had cleaned all the grounds and I mean all the grounds and it quit for about 6 months. speed sensor has been replaced twice. Only thing I could do next is replace all the pigtails to the tranny connections. New Tranny has less than 1000 miles on it.

Ive been dealing with this issue for a long time, VDC 14.1 VAC .001-.002 took the alt yesterday to get it rebuilt with new diodes and brush. Put the alt in today took it for a drive it did it once really quick or so I think it did. I was also getting a code when I did the key cycle of P0720 and P0743 why those came up I have no clue. Gonna go out now for a long drive and shut the truck down a few times along the drive to see if I can get it to act up again, if it does the truck is for sale Ive put more in the truck than what I paid and Im bout done.
