'95 1500 trans problem
Okay just got a ram 1500 4x4 5.2L automatic and i'm having issues.
It started a couple days ago when I would come to a stop in drive, the oil pressure light would come on and pressure would drop unless i kept the idle around 1000rpm. Last night it got worse. Truck started overheating a bit and now it actually stalls when i come to a complete stop even if i downshift it to 2nd or 1st. The only time it doesn't stall now is if it's in park or neutral. I've ruled out the iac because the truck either dies or bangs into gear when put in drive. Going to be changing the trans fluid and filter maybe tomorrow. Is there anything else inside the trans I should be replacing such as sensors or solenoids while the pan is down?
Ps don't worry about the overheating ill figure that out later.

If O/D and TCC work, that's all the electronics you have in your trans.
Hows your oil level?
Check your plenum yet?
How many miles on the truck?
Might just be a bad sending unit, you can verify pressure with a cheap mechanical gauge.... see if it really is getting low.... if so, you can bandaid fix it with a high volume pump.... probably..... if that doesn't get it, time for some new bearings.
