great shape 97 1500 standard cab 4x4 318for 1100!!!! its a 46re and i bought it with a bad tranny, go fig! it has full power in reverse, but in drive it wont even move. is the tranny shot? need adjustment? clutches? solenoids? he said it didnt grenade it slowly just stoped going. pleas help thanks.

 

slim chance but i had a friend that his dad had a ram and it did the same thing it ended up being his cat clogged but on the other hand i had the same issue with an old ford and it was my trans. again slim chance but give it a look anyway

 

From what I understand, this is common with these trucks. Mine went out about a year ago. Seems to be a lot of that going around...

 

Sounds like it's time to stick a fork in her cause shes done!! Time for a trans[&:]

 

just did my 94, sounds dead[:'(]

 

will a trans overhaul work ( clutches)?

Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge Car / Minivan Four-Speed Automatic Transmission Issues

 

I bought my 3/4 ton like that did the exact same thing. I got a rebuilt kit and a new TC for around $250 and did the job my self. The obvious problem with mine was my rear clutch was destroyed. All of the plates were severly warped and there was no material left on them. Plus the plate they all sit on was cracked in three places(not included in the rebuild kit like $20 from dodge). Did all this and the truck runs fine now.

 

well i tore the trammy apart and its shot, the front planitaries are gone, they stripped out on the output shaft and took the shaft out with it. oh well time to buy a new one.thanks guys.
