dodge ram shifts funny when towing

[TwoSixFourWins]

http://www.cumminsforum.com/    there should be a thread there that covers this issue. There is a lot of knowledge on that site.

keep us posted, I test drove a '99 that shifted in and out of OD on its own on the highway, didnt buy it, also had a 53 block. Ive heard some do some mod to the negative terminal, there is also some electrical thing you can put on it, search the cummins forums.

The dodge auto trans isnt known to live super long, typically. I try not to abuse mine too much, its still work good.

Ill have to try that trick posted.

If you got the cash consider working with ATS diesel. Those guys know their stuff and make bulletproof products.

I've got an 04 with a 48RE that was doing the same thing last summer. I talked with a friend about mine that owns a tranny shop in Louisiana and he said there is spring busted in the valve body. He said I'll put the spring in the mail you drop the valve body and you'll see it. Sure enough the spring was broke offering little resistant's.

I not sure if this is your issue but the part number on the bag said the following

TPS
22832A
S18 3-4 ACCUM
J5902C
QTY:1
109

If you were wondering what Anderwagon was refering to in his part description, it's the 3/4 accumulator spring.  Controls the 3/4 shift.

Where are you located? Nest time i would recommend a stick. I've had 4 sticks and one auto.... I haul heavy loads, what does that tell you?  Even that vintage had problems with the 5 speed unfortunately... the new 6 speed sticks are the stuff!

I hope its not your tranny, I just had to have mine rebuilt on my silverado. $3,000...

Shift into a lower gear will solve the problem I bet. Use your tow/haul mod if you have it.
