2013 Ram 1500 Solenoid Swapped Now Won't Shift
My 2013 Ram 1500 4×4, went into limp mode a couple weeks back. From the research I did, it seemed to be a solenoid problem. I ended up getting the white connector solenoid pack, because from what I read online, it seems to be universal. Pretty easy swap, a little messy but not to bad off a job. I changed out the filters and gasket, with the kit from the autoparts store while I had the pan down.
While topping off the fluid i noticed that I was no longer stuck in limp mode, 4th gear. I thought great that fixed it. I loaded up the dogs to go for a test run and found that my truck didn't move when I would shift into drive or reverse. No little jerk, letting you know it was in gear or anything. I slowly pressed the gas and once up to about 3000 RPMs the truck would lerch forward or backwards, depending if I was in drive or reverse.
Not sure what I did but it seems worse than before. From what I've been able to find the white connector solenoid is interchangeanle with the gray one, as long as you use the correct transmission range sensor plate. I didn't touch the plate except to wipe it clean so I didn't think there would be a problem.
Any ideas or input it hugely appreciated.
