CCD is what Chrysler calls thier buss messaging system between the computers. Yours apparently is shorted at on of the modules. Most common is the airbag module on the floor dead center in the cab, but any module that shares information or any wire could be shorted and causing the issue. People sometimes mistakenly ground or power things off the buss wires also.
To diagnose just look for anything that has been added (electrically) on the truck and think about where it is hooked in.
The buss wires your looking for are White with a black tracer and violet with a brown tracer. If you look by your knees when you are sitting at the steering wheel there is a black connector for diagnostics under the dash .
It is wider on one side than the other. With the wide side of the connector up, it is the openings that are third from the right in both rows that house the buss wires. Just probe one of those at a time with a Dvom and make sure you have about 2.5 volts on each. If you don't start unplugging modules that have those color wires til you do!
Or you could take it to a Dodge Dealership trained to do this sort of thing.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the AT? Is the Tourqe Converter bad or the Lock-up clutch? and what's that rattling noise?
NOTE: The rattling sound is only audible when my scanner shows 20% or greater engine load.
Thanks,

Over the past six months (leading up to the current problem), I would sometimes have it where it would not shift out of low gear; after several miles of that, it would suddenly straighten up and operate correctly. This particular symptom would only occur when the fuel level was near "E."
Can anyone give a guess as to what is happening here and What we can do at this point? Isn't it just suppose to come off with a few taps of a hammer once the nuts are off the bolts??? This is crazy..
Thanks for any advice
pan. It won't show on the dipstick cuz it is to heavy of a particulate to be suspended in the oil itself. Good luck but sounds to me like your converter is on it's way to the scrapper. Maybe not? I'm not an expert, just an owner with similar problems. Cheers, Casey.
Since this happens mostly when you're stopped/idling, you may want to check your fan. The trans cooler by the radiator may not be getting sufficient airflow. Keep an eye on your engine temp gauge when the lights come on.

When driving my truck, from second on, the tranny wont shift propperly unless I let the Gas Go a Bit. Once in O/D I have no problems. The tranny doesnt slip at all.
82K, oil and filter changes recently. Check valve at the cooler also checked and it doesnt seem to be cloged.
Thanks in advance,

i bought this truck from someone who hadnt driven it for 2 weeks. it has 165K miles and i dont know about any possible rebuilds or factory reman trannys for this truck. it shifted perfect when i got it. ive had it for 2 weeks. it started hanging up in 1st gear after the 3rd time i drove it. it gets stuck in 1st for 30 seconds to 2 minutes each time and then shifts good. if i stop but leave it running, it will still shift fine. if i turn it off, it still tries to hang up for a bit when i start it back up and go, even when warmed up. i havent pinpointed any exact thing i did to get it to start shifting. sometimes i just drive it for a few seconds at 4 or 5k rpm and then move the shifter to 2nd and then back to drive and it starts shifting right.
the fluid is dark, and dirty so i know its old and burnt. but i havent done anything yet, i wanted to see who had something here to say.
thanks for any input.

Having said that i don't remember where i read it, but i do remember that the post claimed the dealership wouldn't release the diagram for the fix but would do the work for about $400 if i remember correctly.
Hope this helps get your truck fixed.
Cheers, Casey
