I just bought another ram for 2500 and boy o boy does it need work.

new front end, new shocks, probably new bushings, new everything in the rear end, need new tranny, and it might even have a rod knock... Hmmm, what did I forget? O yeah, did I mention the interior is shot and the weather stripping is toast? All in all, you got it made. 6 months and that's all you got to complain about. Pshhh...

Sounds pretty normal to me. As long as its not slipping or anything I wouldn't worry.

The TC locks up in 3rd also.

There's a newer flash from the Dealer that deletes the 3rd TC lock up. I have it and no lockup in 3rd.

I'm guessing mine has been flashed to get rid of the 3rd gear TC lockup then. I've never noticed it locking up in 3rd.

I doubt that, unless you ask for that flash, it's locking up in 3rd and you are just not noticing it. Which I find hard to believe that you don't feel it.
