Just out of idle curiosity, is your check valve still there in the trans line up by the radiator?

 

no my trans. was rebuilt a couple of months before i bought the truck they did away with that and put an after market cooler on it too

 

I've been told that it's the valves in the valve body vibrating and it's normal for a dodge.

 

Mine whines all the time. It sounds exactly like a powersteering pump or a baby when Im accelerating. But at the same time, when Im driving slowly(under 25mph) and turn, and also turn sharply and also just turn the wheels parked my power steering pump whines really bad and sounds terrible. But its working just fine. I dont know, I think everythings fine so Im not worried.

I wonder if thats a sign for the tranny that its slowly going out? although mines better than ever since I got my transmission flushed and ALL the fluid replaced a month ago. Shifts smooth instead of jerkin you a little bit.

 

Trans isn't OVER full is it?? (check in neutral)

 

check in neutral?

 

Gotta check trans fluid with trans in neutral. Won't get an accurate reading in Park. (unless the trans has been modified.)

 

And the truck needs to be running.

 

i have a 1997 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.2 it does the exact thing on cold mornings the tranny has a whine in reverse...it has done that ever since i got it...i have had the truck for five years...it has 210,000 on it i change the fluid every spring..I would just keep an eye on the fluid....

 

It's the manual valve in the the Valve body of the transmission. Common Dodge complaint. As mentioned, most shift kits have a fix for that.
