46re Overdrive
Hey guys, had a question in regards to the overdrive on the 46re transmission. Is it just me, or does it seem like these Rams work harder than usual to get into overdrive? Finally once it gets into overdrive, you really have to be chugging right along, otherwise it will kick back down into third gear. It's why I hate getting stuck behind people. They'll be going just at the speed where I'm 2mph away from getting into o/d, and then when I finally do, they'll slow down and it will kick back down. I've driven a lot of different trucks, and it seems like the overdrive doesn't play that big of a role that it does in my truck, hardly notice it. Are these transmissions just overbuilt, or?

I'm not saying it's a bad thing....the transmission shifts nicely. I've driven others dodge rams and it had a similar feeling, just felt like it works a lot to get into overdrive, and kicks out the minute it hits a hill, like it loses power badly on hills. I drive my father's f-150 and it won't loose power going up a hill.

The only time mine likes to hop around like that is right around 45mph. Thats just because the transmission isnt geared perfectly for the torque range of the engine and is in between gears at that speed, IMO. At highway speeds I can pull hills and pass in OD without any problems. 3.92's and 285's

Since you have the 5.2 and tall tires, Your truck will really come alive with 4.10 gears.
