Hey I am from bavarien (germany) and new here.
I have a 2000 Ram 1500 4x4 with a 5,9 and auto transmission.
Here are my problem.
On sunday check engine lite come on but all works fine !! On monday I get the car to the dealer to find out what happens. He will find two codes,P0743 and P0753. He clears them and changes tow solenoids,oil and filter.I get the truck two days later and till 100 miles check engine lite comes again. But now the transmission did not shift down(kickdown) and OD didn`t work,but I can change gears by hand.At home I take the truck from the battery about for 10 minutes and it works fine !After 20 miles check engine light comes again but tranny is shifting without problems, till I make the engine off. Starting engine one hour later , check engine lite is on and transmission didn`t shift again!!!!! Looking for the code and there is now P0740! I make a call to the dealer and he couldn`t believe it.He tells me there is a third solenoid,this one for the TCC and oilpressure and he had to change this one to!
Had anyone the same problem with his transmission,and what have you done?
Thank`s guy`s and sorry for my bad english,but school is to long away.

 

Hmmm another reason I will never buy a automatic.

But --- hello I am also in germany. I live in geilenkirchen germany. I dont have much to tell you besides return to the dealer and get this fixed up. Might cost you alittle but you need to have it fixed so you can trust it. Let this post float around a few days someone will chime in and give you some advice.

I had kind of the same problem with my 1999 automatic with the 5.9L. I had alot of problems when I bought this truck.First My OD would shut off and then the trans temp light came on. So I brought it back to the GM stealer ship. And they did some work on it changing some silonoids and could not get it to work. So they then sent it to a Dodge stealer ship. And they changed the torque converter and valve body and said it was fixed. So I got it back and drove it around town and it felt like it was slipping when I take off from a stop.But then I realize that it was not shifting down to first.when coming to a stop. It was the pressure silonoid. When you come to a stop the pressure in your trany should go down to zero causing the trany to shift back into 1st gear.So it sounds like it could be that silonoid.

 

Thank`s for your answer.On monday I will bring it to the dealer to change the solenoid for the pressure and hope my problems are gone.Will let you know on thuesday.
