Yes it is shifting, no codes, its done if before and if you let it sit for a little bit it went back to normal. But now it always slipping and want shift in to overdrive

2001 dodge 2500 4x4 auto. When I try to start off it feals like the trans is slipping and once it gets going it want shift in overdrive. Stock trans with 75000 miles truck has 300000. The filters and bands where adjusted and changed about 7000 miles ago at last oil change. Any ideas. I check the fluid in nutreal.

North West Georgia

I have heard people talk about fuel millage being in the 20's and maintaining the ideal 1800 +/- rpm, but iI run down the road at 55 mph @ 1500 rpm - 70 mph @2000 in overdrive, 55mph @2000 rpm with overdrive off.In order to keep @ 1800 rpm i have to run 45 mph with overdrive off or 65 mph in overdrive.I am running 305/75/16/10 tires 32.6 in tall with 3.54 gears, would changing to 4.10 gears help. I had factory size when i purchased the truck which was 265/75/16/10 or 31.8 tall and was about the same.I am getting around 17 mpg now but diesel just hit 3.99 gal and gas went down to 3.21 gal Most of my driving is hwy, very little stop and go.I thinking of upgrading to 4 in exhaust (have stock no muffler now) and rv 275 injectorsANY IDEAS ?????

I replaced the track bar about a year ago. Today I grab the column below the master cylinder and lots of play at the bearing at the firewall. It may not fix the wandering issue but still is a problem with the steering

http://www.rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/ I just found your information searching sites for my steering issues today and i was about to spend lots of money to try to fix my issues. I was reading every ones replies and crawled under my truck and had my wife turn the steering wheel with and without engine running and didn't see any play that would cause the steering to wonder as bad as it does, so i grabbed the column and my bearing at firewall is completely gone, so i guess i will be ordering one shortly

I am about to rebuild my front end steering in my 01 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9l 6cyl. and they asked if its a 3500 lb or 4500 lb front axle both show dana 60 which i have, so how do you tell which one is which?

Has anyone ever adjusted the bands on the trans, if so can you notice any diffrence ?2001 dodge 2500 5.9 cummins 225,000 miles

Thanks, works great for mine. Replaced both

Any one ever use one of these if so whats your opinions ? Torque Converter Lock-UP The TS Performance Torque Converter Lock-UP allows you to lock and un-lock your torque converter at the speed of your choice. Most factory converters lock up at high speeds, and un-lock when off the throttle. This can cause increased temperatures due to friction between the converter and flywheel. It will also inhibit vehicle performance and fuel economy lock at high speeds. The converter can work in conjunction with an exhaust brake to help slow the engine speeds instead of relying completely on the brakes to slow the truck. By programming the converter to un-lock at a low speed it will help to stop the truck. By allowing the operator to choose the speed the converter locks and un-locks results in: [*] Reduce operating temperatures of the transmission and torque converter [*]Reduce overheating and wear of brakes. [*] Improved acceleration [*]Programmable locking speed [*]Programmable un-locking speed [*]Improved Fuel Economy

Found the problem, pulled the tranny out and found the front pump bolts were all loose, tranny was rebuilt by aamco about 30,000 mile ago by previous owner.

I just notice I have a bad leak coming from my inspection place on bell housing. I am thinking front pump torque converter seal. Any ideas ? Transmission shop says they have problems with torque converter cracking at shaft? And help would be great. Thanks

I going to install some rv 275 injectors in the near future. Also a j- hook, but what kind of boost fooler ( diablo power puck ) not wanting to spend $1000.00 on edge. I may trade the truck in 2-3 years for newer.

anyone use these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/75HP-Performance-Injectors-Dodge-RAM-Cummin-24v-75-HP-/280394577149?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4148d1b4fd

I am looking to put around 75 hp injectors in my truck. what is the best and what is the worst brand, and has any one had there stock injectors rebuilt to 75 hp. I have a friend that has his stock injectors that I can rebuild and give him my set after we install them. Thanks

I just put a moog track bar and a the rod end that comes off steering box and i can tell a HUGE difference in drive-ability, Also much larger than stock.

Thanks everyone for all the comments, I think I want a clutch type locker with 410's. The last time i pulled a trailer and it rained it was very interesting taking off with single wheel, especially turning.......

i usually pull about 8-14 k every other weekend, I figured since I went from 31 in tires to 34 in tires it would help in pulling, also i have never had a 3/4 or 1 ton with less than 373 gears, I mostly keep the truck around 55-60 mph and sometimes upto 75mph but at 75 mph I only get around 1750-1800 rpm, i also spend alot of time in hunting club dirt roads and pastures but the single wheel make me put it 4 wheel drive alot when i don,t need it

I have a 2001 dodge quad 2500 4x4 auto with 34 in tires, question is I get lots of wheel spin with only 1 wheel pulling, but lock in 4 wheel drive the front end locks. Is the rear end open carrier when stock and what do yall recommend as a good locker for rear. Also thinking of going to a 410 gear from the stock 355 front and rear. Thanks for the help in advance

ok i have checked the blend door and it works. The heat gets warmer at idle, on defrost, and on low. it cools off when i turn the fan up. Its ok but we just had a ice storm in north GA and with 15 degree weather its hard to keep the windows defrosted

Ok I have checked everything and seems to be working fine, The heat gauge doesn't hit 190 and I put in a new thermostat when cleaned everything. I read somewhere that a superstat thermostat is not a good design and will let water bypass and cummins has a patten on there design, but I can't find it again. Should i find a cummins brand and replace? When it was warm (60+ degess outside) it would go to 190+ and then drop, but now that its 30-50 degrees outside it doesn't hit 190 degrees. could this be my heat problem and should I have a winter screen in north GA. I do plug up when its below 40 just from keeping it from ideling all morning.

Just took my truck to the voltex battery today and had new batteries installed, I figured its about time the old ones were 6 years old and weak. They put it 2 of the 65 group size blems (2nds) for $35.00 each, left there with $75.00 out the door with a 1 year warranty . I work at advance auto parts, part time and they are $90.00 each with my discount. If anyone has a battery store that sell blems that will save you a lot of money.

Not sure of anything yet, I do know that it switches between defrost, panel, and floor. But i have too dig further this weekend.Thanks everyone
