Last night I pulled a guy out of a sno bank, fairly effortlessly with my 99 ram 2500, 360ci gas 4x4. After that my truck wouldnt shift out of first gear, This morning I topped up the fluid (1L) and dumped a quater can of seafoam in the tranny than went for a ride, It is shifting and driving flawlesly. No problems at all. The tranny is a rebuilt one with 20,000 kms on it, so its fairly fresh. Any Idea what would have caused this, will it happen agin. What should I do.

 

Low fluid level might have done it. Got any leaks?

 

I suggest you do a fluid(atf+4) and filter change soon and get as much of that crap out of the tranny as possible. While the pan is off, check the governor solenoid and clean it. Add a drain plug to the pan also.

 

no leaks, ill do fluid change this weekend

 

happened again last night, and this mornig it drives like a new truck again, tell me more about the govener solinoid, or anything else you can think of, could it be electrical?

 

does it have a warrenty? if so id just sit there holding the brakes and getting it some gas..(not burning out tho) and heat up the convertor till the tranny lets go... that how i get the one replaced in my truck. had the same problem and it was still under warrenty so i fried it and they put a new one in

 

does anyone have a pressure sensor and solonoid OEM part number, or a link to where I can buy one.

 

Ebay, from seller ElectricalAdvantage. Borg Warner governor pressure solenoid, and OEM sensor.
