Greetings all..Now that I've browsed through the site I'll ask a few questions.
I resonantly bought a 99 Ram for cheep money. This truck is in mint shape. Guy I bought was the first owner..He took great care for this truck. He sold it to me knowing that the tranny had issues...
After driving the truck for a day this is what it's doing.
At take off it has to hit 2grand to move..It seems to have low power.
Once rolling on the big road it will be fine..Then the OD will kick off.
I stopped at Advanced Auto and used their OBD reader and this is what came up for codes..
02 sensor heater, bank 1 sensor 2, shorted to voltage, output speed sensor circut, torque converter clutch system.
This truck as my towing rig..It will stay parked most of the week until I'm ready to go fishing..
Any help would be great...The ice will be gone and I'll be out in the boat...Just as long as this truck will tow it..
Thanks all..

 

Time to replace the O2 sensor methinks. (bank 1 sensor 2 is the post cat O2.)

Output speed sensor is in the trans, and will give you some strange shifting behavior. Fix that first, clear codes, and see if any of the others come back. (O2 code is an entirely separate issue. replace the O2 sensor.)

Have read of the plenum thread as well. If that hasn't been fixed yet, it can cause all sorts of trouble.

 

Like a bad cat, and blown plenum? The o2 could simply be bad, but odds are it's telling you something.

 

Thanks guys
Yup I read up and watched a few videos on the plenum today..
I'll be out trouble shooting tomorrow..
I went to move it tonight and it wouldn't go into reverse.
All the forward gears worked fine..Even tried in in 4wd and there was still no change.
I have a feeling there will be a bit of work for this truck..But once going I will have myself a nice set up..

 

Those are the codes and symptoms i got with my truck before it actually started to go out. Save yourself the tow fee, take it to certified and have them rebuild it. Expensive. But well worth it.

 

Yeap..Truck went in the shop on Monday.
I'll have it back on Friday and $1500.00 later.
All in all I still think I did well..I have so many plans for this truck.
