Before you do that........ Unplug the eight pin connector on the drivers side of the trans, take the truck for a ride, you will have to shift the gears manually, there will be NO automatic function AT ALL. If it shifts when you tell it to..... replace the governor pressure sensor, and solenoid. (and while you are in there, adjust the bands, change the filter...) If it doesn't, THEN start looking for a rebuilder.

Email dodge directly, give them your vin number, and they will send you a build sheet for the truck, that will tell you EXACTLY what it came with from the factory. (well, power rack and pinion steering aside....... )

 

Okay thanks guys. I'ma try to save some money for it.

but one more question if you don't mine.
So when i unplug this 8pin and try to shift it manualy and if it DOES work thats when i WANT to replace the governor pressure sensor and solenoid?

just making sure i have this right when i go to check it.

Thanks again guys.

Ill try to keep you guys updated because i know how annoying it can be when someone doesn't.

but it might be awhile. I'm broke . ahaha.

okay i was looking for this 8pin connector on alldata's website. would this 8pin be called the Governor Pressure Sensor?

~Tyler

 

The governor pressure sensor and solenoid are part of what that connector goes to. Disconnecting it causes the system to default to max pressure. So, no automagic functions at all.

 

so i was looking again to see what could cause some problems could it be the TPS? and maybe if i just cleaned the governer pressure sensor/solenoid

 

That's possible.... There is a DIY in the faq section for cleaning the solenoid. Sensor isn't really serviceable.

 

^tps? i doubt it. does the engine rev up correctly when you mash the gas pedal? that's more or less all the tps does, is tell the computer where the pedal's at so it can increase fuel and timing.
