Tranny lunges in gear/odd shifts 40mph max

[CDeGolier2001]

I have a 2001 2500 4x4auto. I recently changed the entire body which was rotted to gas truck body. Went fairly well until I started truck and found out that power steering pump shaft broke? And hydroboost went as well. Fixed both and can steer and stop but now tryed to drive it and when u shift out of park it basically jumps into R or D depends on what u select,seems like brakes almost don't want to hold truck back,try to accelerate and truck moves then slows down then shifts then revs then shifts and 40 is highest it will go will Erving high?please help truck drove beautifully before changing bodies. I'm new to site so please excuse the way I described this problem,thank you

The engine overpowering the brakes is a tell-tale sign of a seized torque converter.. I cant imagine why it would have suddenly done that after a body swap though.. As far as the shifting issue i would take a look at the mechanical part of the linkage under the drivers side of the body. I think its got a metal structure/rod thats held in with 3 14mm bolts where the cable turns the linkage and its cotter pinned to the trans and its all weird and unconventional. Any check engine light? It seems like theres an issue with linkage or wiring. Did you miss any plugs on the trans? If i remember right theres one up high thats a pain to get out and the harness is like draped over the top of the trans and up the fire wall.

[CDeGolier2001]

I never unplugged anything on the tranny and have checked them just to ensure I didn't accidentally hit one,all are intact. Only codes are 0622 and 1765.it had a tq locker switch on it but I removed to help eliminate wiring?maybe something there? Or I also think it has a noise filter on it,it's on the computer on passenger firewall connected to a wire then grounded.

[2000Ram2500]

The noise filter I have has what I'm assuming is a resistor/diode under some heat shrink its probably about 3/4 inch around. I disconnected mine after reading that it can bandaid problems until they become serious. I also had a lockup switch but thats what my transmission buddy said was the cause for my torque converter seizing. I think it may have something to do with the fact i had to tow my buddy's fully loaded broken down powerstroke over a mountain with a bone stock trans... anyways thats another story. I ditched the lockup switch too its too much with a billet triple disc.

 

According to the factory service for a P0622 it says to check for a wire rubbing on the air box or against the manifold by the dipstick tube.

As for the P1765 i get a whole diagnostic flow chart- Sorry about how jumbled this probably is... I tried to mark it out by line so it makes more sense.

I will try and trace the wires on passenger side when I get out of work today,thank you

[Mopar1973Man]

I'll mention @Dynamic name maybe he has feedback on this issue.

[CDeGolier2001]

Thank you

[CDeGolier2001]

Well I traced all the wiring from alternator to batterie to computer on firewall. No breaks in wire and the aluminum foil thing was already done to alternator wire.all wires and connections were in good shape. The trans relay in main fuze box has a jumper in it so I removed and replaced with a spare relay and no different? I'm lost

[CDeGolier2001]

One of previous owners must have done it? I didn't 

[Mopar1973Man]

Alternator is shot.

[CDeGolier2001]

Is there a certain brand or place to get a good one from?

[CDeGolier2001]

I'm just curious about the alternator? It charges but is there other things that go wrong on them?

[Mopar1973Man]

Yes its still charging with 14 Volts DC but when the diodes give up it could be charging with AC voltage too on top of the 14V DC. 

 

 

[CDeGolier2001]

The alternator does look like it's been threw hell. I definitely just learned a lot I appreciate you taking the time to help. Do u happen to have a recommendation for an alternator?

[CDeGolier2001]

Unfortunately I took the 140amp alternator fuze out and unhooked the field wire from back of alternator, started up and put into gear and did the same exact thing except this time truck said check gauges which I believe is from disconnecting the alt? Is it possible I did something wrong in this test? Thank you

[Mopar1973Man]

Nope, you did it right. The check gauges are because of the battery voltage dove under 12.00 volts. So this most likely means there is a problem possibly with the output speed sensor or transmission possibly. You might want to talk to @Dynamic about this issue he should be able to give you more clues. 

[CDeGolier2001]

Where is that sensor located? And how would I get ahold of him to ask? Thank you again

[Mopar1973Man]

Output speed sensor is in the tailshaft area of the transmission.

 

As for @Dynamic that's why I keep tagging him hopefully he responses or you could send private message to him.

 

 

[CDeGolier2001]

I'm going to pick one up today,do I need to reset anything after installing?
