I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 that's not shifting. It doesn't go past 2nd gear. It will stay in first for a long time or until I let off the gas. The CEL is on... now and then it goes off and it'll shift into 3rd but then the CEL comes back on and it won't go past 2nd again. It did shift this morning when it was cold but only after I let off the gas. Any guesses on whats wrong with it?
ya there's about a million things that **** these trannys off. Get a code reader on there, most likely failing solenoid, most likely falling into limp mode or some version of it.
That's what I thought... I looked and didn't see a plug for a reader. I wonder if there's a way to run a jump wire to get the CEL codes off of it.
My bad... didn't see the link you posted... thanks for that!
