Welcome to DF
Do you have a check engine light on? I will move your post to the 3rd Gen Ram section.

Change your trans and differential fluids and get back to us... If you've done that in the last 30,000 miles then I'd say head to the dealer and have them do a quick test drive to try and diagnose it..

Trans problems can be caused by a multitude of things but most of the time it's due to poor or improper maintenance, so get all your maintenance done if you haven't and let us know how she acts afterwards.
