I had an issue with my 2005 Dodge Ram Quad Cab with a 4.7 liter engine where it was having a problem with the transmission shifting erratically. My RPMs were revving very high while I was driving but my speed would not change. Sometimes the truck would stall to the point of almost cutting off. What was causing all of this problem was my throttle position sensor. I am glad I was able to pay $35 than $3500 for a transmission!

 

That turned out well! Good for you and thanks for posting your fix. Good info to know.

 

Yes, thanks for the info.

 

So is that what it is in my ram also, throttle sensor...rpms are like revving @2000-3000… just to get into 1st gear

If you have to rev it up to drop into gear, then it is either low on fluid or you have internal issues.
