hey i got a question monte. i have a 1999 1500 with the 5.2 if that makes a difference, and what my transmission does is it starts off fine in first but once it goes to shift to 2 it takes longer than the other gears to shift and then right after or a few seconds later the rpms jump up a few hundred and grabs again. also when i WOT it only goes up to 2400 or so rpm before shifting instead of going all the way up. any idea of what it could be?
thanks for your help and sorry for the long post

ive got a 2001 dodge ram 4x4 5.2. the transmission just went and i have the opportunity to get a rebuilt one from a 97 ram 4x4 5.2 with 25k on it for 400 bucks. will a 97 transmission fit into my 2001 without having wiring issues or anything like that? any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.
You will have to change out the internal wiring harness. Other than that it should work.

hoping you can help....my 01 1500 is sluggish to return to 1st if I do a rolling stop or do not completely stop. Gov Pres pak replaced, new vehicle speed sensor and tps all done. No trouble codes. drives great otherwise. wondering if this could be an adjustment or valve body issue?

Depends on how long you drive it. If it is the 3rd gear clutches, they will just get worse and worse and eventually give out. Could be tomorrow could be 3 years from now.

Sure cure is the better bet for stock or near stock motors. Ive got many 46re's out with a good build the right updates, and a sure cure, some are work trucks and they are doing fine.
