1995 ram 2500 trans temps and rpm’s higher than normal
I have a 3/4 ton 4x4 with the 360 and the 46rh trans and my trans is running hotter than normal and rpm’s at 55 are at 2k before my rpm’s at 70 were 2k It’s a reman trans from shift rite with about 100k on it and I just replaced the torque converter probably 8 months ago can anyone tell me how to correct this issue
Sounds like it's not going into overdrive. How do you know it's running hotter than normal? Do you have a temp gauge installed? Any codes?
I have glow shift gauges for trans and oil pressure on the pillar and when I push the overdrive on off button it shifts and rpm’s go higher so I know I have overdrive

Erm, no. I don't think you do. Your RPMs are WAY to high to be in O/D. What you may be seeing is TCC dropping out....
Keep the OD OFF until you get to above 45(say 50) keep that speed and hit the od button. What does the rpm's do? Also what temp is the trans reading?
it shifts from first second third then I pushed the od button on the dash and shifted into 4th. The rpms in 3rd with the od off was around 3k and at 50 then with the od button on it dropped to 2k at 55 and trans temp was getting around 190-200. But I had also been driving it for about 20 mins prior to get that hot but usually it’s around 160 during the day and at night time it’s around 145
But, that does NOT explain the high RPM readings..... I still don't think you are actually getting Overdrive...... either that, or the trans is slipping badly....
