for the past 2 days if I put my 95 Dodge Ram 1500 in reverse I can hear a popping noise and as I back up it squeeks like none other, in fact to let you know what the squeeking sounds like, it sounds like a couple going at it on an old metal bed, I know my friends didn't believe it untill they heard it.

What is going on!? I check the fluid while it was at running temp. and in nuetral like the dip stick says and it seems a tad low but not to bad.

Is my tranny going bad? Please help me!

 

I dont know why I'm saying this. . .but have you checked out the U-joints???

 

My wife's '02 1500 Ram has made a little ticking/popping noise when reverse first engages for a while now. Kinda sounds like something isn't quite engaging right at first but then does. Probably wouldn't be the worst idea to take it in to a tranny shop to have them take an educated guess. That's what I plan to do as soon as my truck is done and we have a spare rig again...

 

Erm, you realize this thread is 7 years old?

 

U-joint I would say

 

LOL, yeah just noticed that! I am using my phone and must have clicked on something! Sorry about that....

 

Haha, thanks HeyYou, hopefully the issue is resolved by now !

 

One would certainly hope eh? LOLOL

 

Although, I have been guilty of procrastinating on truck repairs a few times myself..........but not this long !
