  1. I Did that before, it seemed like it was less severe, but it was still doing it. Going to start going through ground wires, battery cables, ect. tomorrow.
  2. Took my alternator to parts store and the ripple test showed .8 AC volts, which the machine passed. Asked them to test the on an their shelf and it tested 1.1 on the ripple test. What should I do, order one from dodge or replace the diodes? Asking for advice cause this is driving me crazy at 45 mph lol. I'm going to check the wires on oss after Team Tailandscales good fortune.
  3. Hi all, 2003 3500 SRW 48re Quad cab Laramie 4x4, Same thing, 3 - 4 back and forth. I don't think mine will lock up. I have changed tcc/lockup solenoids with harness, gov solenoid and transducer, 3-4 accumulator spring, speed sensor. After talking to the owner of DNJ Components, and doing 4th gear line pressure test, its not a transmission problem. Also I have drove with the scanner hooked up, Like Team Tailandscale said, the computer is commanding 4th and sometimes it will hold for a minute in 4th and lockup, them instantly both solenoids are shut off. After reading the threads on here I started messing with alternator, I unhooked both wire from the back and the truck drove better, still not right. Next step for me is taking alternator in and testing the diodes. I want to also rebuild battery cables and grounds around truck. Just wanted to chime in, a 3rd gen doing this. It is driving me crazy, Along with guys wanting 25k for these trucks with 200k miles on them. I have a 12valve with a 6speed and i love the cummins, but guys need to be realistic, they aren't made from unobtainium or anything.
