I have a 97 Ram 1500 that is experiencing overdrive issues. The truck is a 2WD,has a 5.2 with the electronic trans and 145000 miles on it. When the truck is first started and up to about 10 miles of driving, the trans works great. After 10 or so miles the transmission begins to hesitate going into OD (4th). Usually after hesitating once or twice it will stop going into OD completely. After the truck sits and cools for a couple hours it will go through the same process again. Other than this issue the trans works great. I have change the fluid and filter and also changed the throttle position sensor. Neither of thesetwofixeshelped at all. Has anybody else had a problem like this and found the answer?

 

buddy of mine had the same problem.. finally while driving the whole thing **** on him.. 3 grand later he pulled it outta the stealership with a new / rebuilt tranny
