I think ineed a trans for my 2001 Dodge 2500 Cummins diesel.The one that in the truck now is ok but it shifts wierd.When driving the truck and taking off from a stop i have to build the RPMs up to about 25 grand then left off all the way and hit the gas agin then it shifts but after it shifts i can punch it and it kicks downs a shifts nice and smooth,It pick up speed pretty good.If anyone has had this problem befor or have any clue what it might be or what i could do to fix this lt me kno.I would greatly appreciate it.

 

clean your battery terminals really well and grease them. i had to do that about every 20k miles on my old 01. if that doesnt fix it time for a tranny.


hth

 

What does cleaning the battery terminals have to do with the Trans??But i will try it.I'm going to put some good trans oil and filter in the tranny and see what its does.Thanks tho

 

it has a lot to do with it. if there is corrosion on the terminals it screws with computer to the transmission. since the tranny in that has its own computer it requires very strong ground. if there is the corrosion it will interfere with the signal to and from.

 

I had a similar problem, it ended up being the Valve Body

 

how much is a valve body?? and can you tell me a lil more info...What you had to do,what year your truck is...etc thanks PM Sent
