hi im new in here and i have a question maybe someone can answer.
i have a 1998 dodge ram ss/t i just installed the holley throttle body upgrade and now im having issues with the tranny. the truck runs and shifts perfect untill i floor it then it feels like the tranny slips. its very strange the tranny just cuts out and the rpm's got sky high, but if i back off the throttle then eeez into it its fine. ive never seen this happen before can anyone give me some input?

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the second generation Ram section,

I'm just throwing this out there, but, was the TV cable adjustment messed up in any way?

 

possible TC slipping. how many miles?

 

+1 on the Throttle Cable adjustment. To replace the throttle body, you had to remove the throttle cable and maybe got it out of adjustment.

Do a search on throttle cable adjustment and ensure that is not your issue before moving on.

 

i will try the throttle cable and get back to you on that thanks. the miles hmmm about 110,000. i was very careful to not adjust anything when i was taking it off but it could have happened

 

well everything checked out good so i took it into a transmission shop and they want 2,500.00 to fix it. they say i have a 47re transmission but isnt that a diesel trans?

 

I wold get a second opinion as $2,500.00 sems high to rebuild a tranny,

i thought the same thing cause i just checked online and i can find one rebuilt beefed up for $2,300.00 summit wants 3 grand for theres
