Started my trip from G.R. MI. Got to about the Indiana Dunes. Truck started sputtering and downshifting or the T.C. was locking up depending on which gear I was in. Turned the O/D off and limped it all the way to West Chicago. Truck was sputtering and downshifting the whole way. Had to get here for a funeral tomorrow. Made it but not sure what the problem was. About a mile from West Chicago some guy was randomly cutting people off so I STOMPED on the gas. All of a suddon, It runs fine! Wish that a-hole was there 130 miles ago. Anyone had this problem before with the shifting and sputtering. I was thinking TPS but not sure....
as far as the sputtering goes...id check your fuel pump...mine went at 98000...
oh and wake... my whips are 4 footers

Washed, waxed, and compounded my truck yesterday.
Lookin to put another coat of compound on...its the scratch remover kind, and its doing a damn good job. I have 2 coats on it, and shes looks beautiful (aside from rockers) and you can hardly see the scratches i had. Im very proud of my RAM

Got a huge disappointment today, rear diff started making noise on the way home early this A.M. so I tore it apart to see what the problem was. Found a large piece and a small piece of what I could only guess is a pinion shim??? Not really sure but now I have some lateral movement in my driveshaft at the rear diff so I can only guess that it was a shim as now the bearings are loose. That will mean work 3rd shift, then tear the carrier out and try to get the pinion out to inspect it for damage, then get ready to work all over again. I believe it is gonna be a long day. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it did not damage the input shaft when everything came loose. I looked everything over as well as I could and the gears and other stuff all looks good.

ram360 lets see some pics. What type and brand of compounds are you using? Are you hand buffing or using an orbital? The p.o. of my truck tried to do some buffin on it and put swirl marks all over it, Ive tried some decent meguiars cleaner wax but I need some thing more.
cant get any pics right now....when i did my rear brakes about 2 weeks ago, i stepped on the camera while trying to get leverage to get a spring on...i went to warentee it, but they wont because it was "Self Inflicted"....and i dont have the money to dish out for a camera...well i do but dont want to spend the money on that, i have work to do to my truck first...i have a big camping trip comming up in less than a month, and i need to get prepared.
