I would either rebuild the current trans, or, swap in another one. (flush the cooler lines REALLY well.) I don't think this is going to be an 'easy' fix.
:\ not to mention I don't think this would cause it to be slipping. Dang I did a good job. Being vehicle less sucks... I'm going to go buy a small car so from on I've got a backup.

That's where I'm stuck.. I'm definately not rebuilding it. It's a $1000 truck. No point in putting a $2000 tranny in it. As for 5 speed swap, good idea but very very rare especially where I am. I'm at the point now where I have to deside if its worth it. I haven't even diagnosed the other problems yet. My rear end squeaks, I have no power steering, motor is hesitating.. Yeah. But I need a vehicle regardless

Look for a cheap used 5 spd gutrag they should be easier to find. Park her out back and in 3 or 4 months you can have my 46re. Its leaving to be replaced with this.



You pull the back wheel and brake drum's see if they are plugged with mud and ****.

Hmm what do you have there, Mark?

Oh yeah I've fully cleaned the truck, including drums.

I sold her. She was fun but it wasn't road worthy so couldn't go anywhere. I would need a cummins just to pull it because she was HEAVY!!! Close to 8000lbs. Fun hobby but too much of a hassle to transport and it was never running good. It was pumping out some serious horsepower and every second weekend I had to replace something else. That would've been a sweet trail to take her down though. I'm thinking of buying a tj jeep and making it into a road worthy offroad capable jeep and then buying another 2nd gen 4x4 ram and keeping it shiny and on the highway. Thinking about it..

So, my dodge... Trucks been sitting for a week. Buddy of mine came over last night and we got talkin about it. He wanted to see what it does so whatever sure. Took it around the yard, hmmm no slip. Took it down the road, no slip. Drove 15 miles, no slip. What the heck is goin on!?!?! She's making a liar out of me. Got all 4 gears This is the furthest I drove with it since I got home from the trail. This morning I took it to the gas station and worked fine as well. Is there anything in a transmission that could've been water logged? I know transmissions don't fix themselves but, well.. :s
