Hey everyone im new here and looking for some advice. I have a 1995 dodge ram 1500 5.2 v8 and 2wd. My tranny shifts fine but will not go into overdrive?? from what I have read on this forum it sounds like I need to replace the solenoid but I thought i'd post first and ask for opinions. Thanks in advance!
Not sure on the RH tranny, but I think anything to do with OD is in the tailshaft. I'd go to the FAQ section and download the service manual, at least you can check/trace the wires and make sure all is good there. It will also pin point any solenoids (lockup and OD) as to there location. if they are inside the pan, you can try replacing the solenoid assembly fairly easy.
And add ALL the info about your truck ,to your sig.
Ok so update i dropped the pan and replaced the solenoid and filter and refilled with atf+4 and I still dont have overdrive! the fluid looked and smelled great and there were hardly any metal shavings on the magnet. I guess i am just fishing now but hopefully someone can help me out??
How do you engage/disengae the OD on a 95? Is it on the shifter like it is on a 99? If so, I would check the switch. there is a page in the FSM that addresses this.
