no codes from the code reader..... i changed the fluid with atf4 and cyled about 12 quarts thru the transmission to get the old fluid out and a greater amount of new fluid in......adjusted the bands per the shop manual and the initial problem at highway speeds and acceleration seems to have remedied itself.... however now on initial take off from a stop sign it feels like there is a slight slip and then the 1st gear fully engages..... thats my thought too....electronic malfunction.....i will have to get out there and see what i can find.... codes would be a key here since it could be an electronic malfunction. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author havent had time to try to pull them yet.....my code puller is very basic...im not even sure it will pull tranny codes..... any trouble codes -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author 1998 ram qc 1500 2wd auto 5.9l 3.55 ls 102k miles. heres my question concerning my trans its a 46re 4 speed auto during acceleration at highway speeds 65-75mph when i let my foot off the gas with the intention of letting the vehichle speed stabilize if feels as if the trans or torque converter remains locked or something..... the engine rpms drop pretty quickly and you feel as though you are thrown forward when it happens... any idea as to what is occuring i havent changed fluid or filter nor have i adjusted bands in 50k miles....so im due for that.....but to me it doesnt seem like what i am feeling is due to old fluid as it is still red and smells as it should ie---doesnt smell burnt thanks for the help... rich .
