Jeez, who did it? Did they do install and such or just rebuild it? Sometimes coolers can have crap in them. Did you have a trans temp gauge? They can overheat and you wouldn't even know it until it was HOT! Also if it was just a stock rebuild they are not all that great.
I won't name the shop at this point. They did install and rebuild. I paid for a heavy duty built trans, it has a triple disc billet torque converter, HD clutch packs and valve body. I do have a temp gauge but in never got over heated. It shifted kinda funny from the get go but just started slipping really bad.

I went through source automotive in clackamas.. good guys. I'd recommend getting a after market or larger tranny cooler when you do it. Just me 2 cents
I also have a aftermarket trans cooler. I haven't towed at all with it either since the rebuild witch makes even less sense.

uggg they going to blame you, say you over heated it or did something to void a warranty especially since you got 20k on it.

I would ask if they flushed coolers. Also I would take it back and demand a failure diagnoses. They should have a 3yr or 36k mile warranty of some sort? This is on them, unless of course your running twin turbos and injectors and such making 750+hp?Jeez, who did it? Did they do install and such or just rebuild it? Sometimes coolers can have crap in them. Did you have a trans temp gauge? They can overheat and you wouldn't even know it until it was HOT! Also if it was just a stock rebuild they are not all that great.

First thing I thought about was flushing the cooler, but he mentioned an aftermarket cooler. Not sure if that's before or after the trans O/H

Trans rebuild and cooler all at same time.

Either that or do a manual swap for a similar price.

I recently had my 1998 Ram 47RE rebuilt by the same shop and it's been the same quality work. Rob is the owner and I think he does all/or most of the work and takes time to show you all the parts that he replaced and why he replaced them before you pay the bill. Great guy to work with and knows his business. He's not the cheapest shop in town but with trannys you don't want to pay for them several times before someone gets it right.
Like somebody else said, if you're going Cummins, you're better off with the 6 speed manual. Kicking myself for not getting it when I bought the '02 new. Later when I was looking for another Ram, just could not find a stick so I settled for an auto in my '98 because it had a short bed which was my other "must have".
