surging
Hey guys, I am not having good luck with the sticky searches tonight. I have a 2001 V6 auto 2wd ram 1500. It can start & idle fine, but when I take off (regardless of warm up or not) it will start to go, but then surge a few times then be fine. At night I notice the lights go bright & dim with the surging perfectly. I will say that my tranny is kaput, first gear clutch pack & first/reverse band are crap. That means sometimes at take off the entire truck shakes worse than you can imagine - drinks vibrate right out of the cup holders too. I am about to replace the tranny this week since I now have a replacement. I have a suspicion that the tranny may be causing the rmp & electrical surge so I am almost suspending too much thought on this until the tranny swap is done to see if that cures it. I am just curious if this has happened to any of you & what the cause & cure may be if not the tranny.
