Question about my transmission?
Hey everyone,
I've recently came to notice a problem with my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. When I first got my 5.2L V8 it had some transmission issues. For one it would shift into 2nd gear but never 3rd and my RPMs would ALWAYS sky-rocket. Well, I unplugged it from the computer and shifted it manually for about 6 months. I woke up one day and decided to plug it back in to see if it fixed itself. It had, for the most part, it would shift nicely and I could get up to 75 before my transmission refused to shift into any higher of a gear. Well I've recently noticed that whenever my gas light come on my transmission starts acting up again. When I first got my truck the gas light was on and my fuel pump float was off by about a quarter of a tank. I'm not sure if any of this matters. I've talked to a few of my buddies and they have no idea whats going on. I just need some help.
Thanks,

What year is your truck? If the computer doesn't know how fast you are going it won't shift the transmission. Could be a bad sensor or wiring. Download the factory service manual for your truck from the FAQ section. Wiring is in 8W
