I had a similiar problem with my 02 quad cab 4.7ltr engine. Thought transmission was done, Had a filter and fluid change done 50,000 miles earlier, filter was not put in properly, pick-up tube going into trans was not seated properly and worked its way out, it has two rubber o-rings on it to seal that were not seated. These transmissions rely on pressures to work, as it was did a filter and fluid change after trying sensors and saw the culprit, the transmission filter was not seated. Saved huge!!! Check your filter!

 

I had isues with my 99 Dakota with the 44 RE trans. Make sure the TV cable is adjusted correct, Mine was sliding into 3rd gear and skipping at hiway speeds. So check the TV cable.

 

thank you for your help i will look for one and give it a shot

 

i was just told by someone and he told me that he sees this all the time the two parts that you have to change out are the governor pressure switch and the transducer switch i will try that first and let you guys know how it goes

 

well replaced those parts and i still have the same problem i checked the filter and that was ok i guess i will have to replace the pcm thats the last thing there is to replace
