The latest on my 99 2500;the injector pump died Mond. nite...the dodge dealer has to repair that first to get the cummins running so that he can check the tranny. All this is under a 3rd party warranty (C.A.R.S. protection plan--not recommended) and what a hassle. I will keep your 'find' in mind when the dealer pulls the trans. pan and valve body. This problems seems to occur a lot with dodge trannys...hmmmm...design issues?????
Stay in touch and thanks again for all the input.
This is my fist post, hope it helps.
Changed governor pressure sensor & solenoid, did not fix anything. Looking for advice.
Thanks
I don't know about any of you, but I don't consider 100,000 miles, especially highway mileage and a 2001 truck "old or not worth repairing".
A few weeks ago I had What sounded like a belt sweeking coming from the tranny.
After the sound its like the truck will not shift down to first gear..
NOW! I went out last night, the truck sat for 6 hours, started driving .. The truck will not shift now! it stays in one gear, IF I put the truck in (N) and back to (D) while the truck is moving it starts shifting. And when I stop, it starts all over again. and I have to repeat!
Please help I wanted to check here first, Before I spend money
Thanks in advance for taking time to read this.
I have had my '06 Megacab Ram 1500 in the shop for the third time for symptoms described in your reply above. I was told today, they replaced the second of two filters since the first one didn't change the lack of immediate "park to reverse or drive" engagement. This evening, I moved my truck to make room for my wifes car in the driveway and I experienced the longest "Park to 1st gear" "drive delay" so far. The dealer shows it to be a 5-45RFE tranny. No codes are apparent.
I'm going to try it again tonight and tomorrow. If it doesn't show improvement, what should I be telling the dealer. ONLY 12,000 more miles of warranty! STAR was supposed to get involved but they were not dispatched to my dealer by someone's choice other than mine. STAR is Chrysler's Expert Technician, in case you didn't know. Sounds like you're IN THE KNOW!\
Thanks

My issue is 'not immediately' engaging into reverse or drive when shifting from PARK (auto trans). Experiencing roll forward or backward until engagement occurs. Might as well have a straight drive, manual tranny!
I just returned home with my 3rd tranny warranty, so called, repair today. They changed a faulty filter a few weeks ago, said it was the type filter Dodge was using and it was failing on 2006 models with 545RPE tranny. Turns out they changed the other related filter today (also mentioned in this blog on page 15 by DUSTY). In addition, the dealer drained the t-fluid and added new and also added a "SEALER"????
I drove it home,parked it and went inside. Came back out to move it out of the wife's way and the "3-4 second park to drive delay" was still evident.
This has only been occuring the last 1000 miles or so. With only 24,000 miles on the vehicle, the dealer(Alley's KingsportTN) nor Dodge/Chrysler will not get away with telling me it is characteristic for it to have an engagement delay. I am watching this site for answers and what to do next.

Just recently it started to redline to shift up, and has gotten worse. If going down hill OK; if I let up it usually shifts, but not always. If going up hill it will not shift up from first. A mechanic friend put it on the computer but only a vague message came up. Help. Expensive situation coming up!!!!
IF U ARE GOING TOO PULL ANYTHING HEAVIER THAN A LAWNMOWER GET A STANDARD TRANSMISSION.
I just swapped out my 98 46re (360 4x4) with a 46re from a 2001 (318 4x4) they gave me the correct torque conv with no counter weights. I installed it and same thing happens as # 67 ( od and trans temp) they now tell me I need to put sensor from my old tranny into this one as that sensor controls shifting and temp - it is located on the drivers side plugs in from top it is round and has 5-6 pins in it. does this sound correct - I have also been told by other parties I need to flash and reprogram at a dealer??
we are flowing about 2 quarts through cooler in 30 seconds. bottom of pan is probably 100 deg and the cooler lines are cool to warm to the touch.
Thanks

1) At start up, when put in gear the illuminated box around the gear selector in the dash does not light up in R, D,2, or 1.
2) It doesn't have any pull when taking off but gradually gets better.
3) Won't shift into overdrive
4) Cruise control doesn't work
5) Tow/Haul mode does not work
6) No lights or buzzers come on saying that there is a problem
After driving a few miles, (farther tonight than last night) it jumps into overdrive and everything else starts working again. I can't decide if it is a trans. problem or electrical/computer problem. Has anyone seen or heard of this combination before?? It has been in the shop before for some minor stuff but this is making me nervous before a long trip.
Thanks!

My dad had the same problem and it drove him nuts as well as the dealership. They did find the problem in one of the control modules for the tranny. It was quit by accident that they found it so talk to the dealership about having the modules changed it will only take them about 1/2 hour to do.
Thank You!

I noticed that if I hear the rattle and shift into neutral, the "rattle" stops! I had the fluid changed and found a lot of metal on the magnet, had filter changed, no signs of problems.
Could this be a pressure thing?
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dusty
Luckily mine was covered under the extended warranty. The module was about $400.00 if I would have had to buy it.
If this is what they think is wrong you need to MAKE SURE that they actually take the plugs apart that plug into the module and inspect the wires. After installing the new module my truck still didn't work. They took the plugs apart and found that the main power feed wire was broken inside the plug. After fixing that everything worked great. You don't want to buy a new module if you don't have to!
Good luck!

Just after I bought the truck in 04, the rear end had to be totally replaced when the anti slip diff disintegrated The truck is used to tow a travel trailer during warmer months.
Any ideas as to what the whinning sound it. Hate to take the truck to the dealer and be told it is nothing ?
