RE: 2001 Auto Trans Long Term Reliability
ORIGINAL: hnighthawk2000
the story i heard is they did get it fixed for the 2000 model year. i have a 2000 with 115k on it, without a blip. i have towed a trailer a couple of times, but most of my miles are in commuter traffic here in atlanta, a real tough environment for an automatic. i couldn't be more pleased with mine. I should add that it does get a fluid and filter change every year, whether mileage warrants it or not, and that it is electronically controlled, so there are no adjustments or bands to wear out, so i'm told by the dealer.

I've put 40k on my truck and it's still working good, however I did have one of 2 sensors go bad (replaced both) which fixed a funny shifting problem. the fluid looked good...

This seems to be a crap shoot. For every person who had one blow up you find one like hnighthawk2000 with no trouble.

I have a 2001 ram with a lift and 35s, and I'm going to tow with it. Guess I better cross my fingers.

Fingers crossed........?? With 35's AND towing you better be PRAYING, not just crossing fingers.
