A couple days ago, I got into my truck and went to drive away and all of the sudden I wasn't moving. The truck had a high pitch whine coming from under the truck. I can shift it into any gear and it sounds like it goes in but it just doesn't move. I'm trying to get ideas what it is and how I can fix it

 

If it feels like it's not going into gear, check the level of the transmission fluid according to the manufacturers recommendations.

 

Fluid is perfect not burnt, correct level doesn't look like anything is floating around in it

 

Welcome to DF.

Will move you to the correct section for better help. What model year of truck do you have?

kinda new to the forum really don't know how to move posts but My truck is a 2005 5.7 liter Hemi Magnum Ram 1500.

 

You can't move posts, but I can. No worries. Moving you now.

My 2007 hemi does the same thing. If you give it enough gas it will start moving slowly. If you let it warm up for 30 seconds after starting it works fine. Might try letting it warm up a tad before putting in gear and see. I asked a mechanic about this and he had no idea other than to say the computer doesn't do its thing until motor warms up a little. Trade for a chevy also works. I've had 4 Dodge trucks in a row and been happy until this 2012 2500 hemi. What a piece of junk. Dodge has ran me off finally.

 

The computer doesn't do it's thing until the truck warms up? That's a crock. What bggdgg is experiencing is torque converter drain down. It causes no damage, you just have to wait a few seconds for the pump to fill it back up after start up. Takes maybe 10 seconds after starting. That may or may not be the OPs problem. It sounds like his trans won't engage at all.

 

Thanks for the reply 66. Is there an easy fix for the drain down?

 

Trade for a Chevy ,I'd rather trade for a peice of junk ford before I'd ever touch a junker Chevy! I'd shoot myself in the foot before that happens!!!
