Transmission troubles
Unfortunately this is a common problem with the Dodge Auto-Trannys. Knowing many people in the business, the problem usually stems from modifications and/or abuse. Big tires, hot-rod chips, overloading are all real common problems. How many stock trucks do you see? Just beacuse it looks like a T2000 Kenworth, doesn't mean it is, or can be.
As they say at the Turbo-Diesel Register (TDR) website: (Cummins Dodge Organization) If you modify your truck or abuse it you "...become your own warranty station...".
Their auto-trannies are weak, it's a known fact, thats why I bought the 5-speed.

Av8r - Good statement. My wife is a dye hard total dodge fan. She drove a dodge truck till we had kids, now she drives a durango. I like the durango but it is a gasaholic! Its got that new 4.6 i think V-8 in it, it's an 03'. Lots of power but uneconomical. My Ford diesel dump truck does better on fuel hauling a 20' trailer everyday with my Kubota on it. For me, Plowing is to consuming to buy a stick so the dodge wasn't an option.

I don't really care what it is if it has over drive which all cars now days do it is junk. Then it will also cost about 3600 if you are lucky to get it rebuilt. Manual tranny is the way to go.

I have a 98 1500 4X4 with about 105,000 miles. Had the Tranny rebuilt about 2 years ago ($2800). Still think there is a problem with the torque converter, but the repair place says no. Anyway. Last week she lost her mind ( THe truck not my wife, Although my wife may pending on what the repair shop says. Driving down the road the Emergency brake light came on, then the ABS light, then the Check enigine, then the Speedometer stopped working, the next day before I could get it to the shop, started it up and started down the road and it would not shift out of first gear. Let me tell you, it was a long drive at 2500 rpms to the repair shop. I am hoping it is sensors. but Like said earlier, I wish they would have left good enough alone and not put all this elecrtonic garbage on the vehicles. It causes more problems then it is worth.
