Welcome to DF! Check out the second gen ram section.

For a beast of a transmission, check out These guys. A little expensive, but, you won't ever need another one.

They also offer parts kits, for the do it yourselfer. Fair few folks have rebuilt their own trans, having never been in one before.

Default no forward gears

2001 Dodge Ram 46RE, was thinking about rebuilding but was told that the pressure valve was bad. I have a good strong reverse but no forward motion in any gear fluid doesn't smell burnt.
Any other opinions out there that could lead me in the right direction?
