Question Tranny slips only on left turns

Hi from the snow capitol of the world (Baltimore). I'm a new guy so forgive any format errors. My 2001 Dodge Ram PU does a weird and crazy thing. When I stop at a light and take off making a left turn my trani slips out of gear briefly. But only on a LEFT turn. If I go straight it's ok, if I turn RIGHT it's ok, only making a left turn it slips. Fluid level look ok.. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.

Did you physically check your fluid when the fluid was warm and engine running in idle?

Apparently, your truck is a Republican.

Are you sure that what you feel isn't the 4x4 locking and unlocking? That is a whole other issue that we can address.
