the trany is acting reale skitso 140 miles and it doesent seem to be learning it is all over the place do i need to drive with overdrive off in town

How long can i expect the tranny to last

This sucks 4 day old truck and im allredy worried about the trans AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

 

it's not normal, bring it back to the dealer. My 48re is pretty good in the way it shifts, especially in the tow/haul mode. my one grip is that I cant lock out OD.

 

The 48RE is leaps an bounds better than the 47RE.

Sounds like you have issues with yours - get it serviced.

 

I concur with STEVE00RAM360......my 48RE has been shifting fine at all rpm's (low/mid/high) and works perfectly in TOW/HAUL mode as well as OD OFF. Like STEVE00RAM360 said, it would be nice to be able to turn off OD while in tow haul mode when in the mountains and hold 3rd gear nice and steady up the hills.

I'd take the truck back to the dealer and have them either flash the ECM or look at the trans itself for any issues!

 

my runs smooth like silk.. and accually today i talked to a service department about the tranny and he said this particular tranny is excellent since he has been there in 3 years he has only seen one ever come in...

 

Mine shifts only a little rougher when I am in tow/haul mode and I am actually towing or hauling nothing.
I can't call it really rougher, its more like a faster jump from 2nd to 3rd or something.

I drive the truck everydfay for a living and after 61000 miles no strange feelings yet on tranny and trust me I had my share on my 1997 - 1500 gasser.

Have them check it out at the dealer, most dealers will understand that the truck is new and it should shift fine. it could be as simple as a bad-sensor.. they will find out.

Let us know and good luck

it is supposed to shift harder in tow haul mode i had a guy tell me because it does that it will last longer... but out of tow haul it is like warm apple pie...[:-]

 

ok im goin to take it to the dealer and see what they say. Hopefully they dont need three days to tell me they could not replicate after it sat in the back lot the whole time?
