i disagree with some of this the auto tranny was light to begin with with little reserve by design because dodge did not spend the coin to make it a proper tranny. also boat ramp duty is a lot tuff on a tranny than going down the road with a trailer. some of those ramps and boat loads can be killers. i have seen more than one tv die on a boat ramp with a big boat behind it. not filter change is going to fix his problem sorry to say. max dodge wrote sounds like tranny is at end of life cycle and when it gets hots it slips more. or the filter is clogged and the fluid needs to be changed. dodge has had a lot of problem with automatic behind the cummins and redesigned the tranny yet again on 2005 models. no individuals have had problems due to lack of maintenance overloading yeah the tow rating does mean something and power uprates. the trans is the same trans that came out in 1988 as the a618 with more clutches more planetary gears in the gearsets and upgrades such as thrustwashers etc. after you get it rebuilt make sure it has a good sized aux cooler on it too. very good advice. that chip you have on there to boost power adds a lot of strain to tranny that it cannot really handle. few people consider the impact of these boosts on the trann

suddenly without warning denny exclaimed 22-oct-05 145 am i probably should have put a ;- in my original post. dont let anyone here get to you. no worries. i usually dont but 3 weeks of bronchitis followed by idiots at work that micromanage when theyre not even my manager have me a bit more annoyed in general just now. i usually just ignore. i learned how to do that from my cat jmc if we wasnt so far apart id send my little grandcritter over to give ya a hug. she hugs really really good. a bunch better than an old fart hug. g denny its the thought that counts... id take either at the moment; a hugs a hug! i was just remembering hearing somewhere that a person needed x number of hugs a day for mental health. dont remember what x equals though... jmc probably depends on the hug factor as some hugs are better than others. ill leave that to up to your imagination.. bg denny i can just picture a rabbit and...... nah forget it.bfg roy not just any rabbit.....a cute snuggly huggable little bunny that loves to be hugged..... denny .

nosey; do you actually have to point the remote at the truck also they have the antenna on the front d/s upper corner of the windshield. i have the the truck which is a quad cab with tinted rear windows parked facing away from me and slightly to the right of my sliding door. could that make a difference. would moving the antenna to the rear window possibly make that much difference thanks howard i point mine at the truck. i suppose you could have them put in another antenna it would make a differenc. how far away are you from the truck roy hp wrote i had a local speed shop install an electric starter in my 04 1500 hemi qc. the make was dei. a real piece of crap . very little range. i was thinking about ripping it out and having the mopar unit installed. anybody know whether or not the mopar might simply be a plug in type unit that i could do or does it half to be done by a dealer i have the remote door locks already. i par my truck about 200ft from my apartment and it doesnt start. ive had great sucess with dei products. take it back to the installer and have them check it out. they may have simply picked a poor location for the antenna or forgot to hook it up. dei offers a lifetime warranty on their products so if it is a defective unit they will replace it. .

matt helm wrote john wrote tires too small would increase your acceleration. let me rephrase that. initial acceleration is peppy but it seems like it immediately wants to shift up unless you really stay in the throttle. almost like it shifts up too soon. ive been driving a f150 with a 4.2l v6 for the last two years so it could be that im just not attuned to the shift points yet. oem tires are 245/75-16. that is what is on it. remington wide brutes. thanks for the rest of the advice snipped that is what i was looking for. matt matt i noticed the same thing when i bought my 01 ram 1500 with 5.2l v8 and auto. i traded in a 2000 chevrolet shakerado that i hated. it took me awhile to get used to the way the dodge shifted but i got used to it. congrats on the truck. youll love it. bob .

one thing...to cool the tranny down dont put it in park. keep it in neutral there is no fluid circulating when in park. ron hello i have a 2002 dodge dually 4x4 cummins automatic transmission; boost tranny temp and exhaust temp gauges. i have a k&n air filter clean 4 smooth bend exhaust and one of those computer override gizmos on it i think it is an ez-edge. i am the original owner. i drive it mostly empty but occasionally drag a 10000 pound or so boat. last weekend after i dumped the boat into the water at the boat ramp i could hardly pull the trailer up the ramp. i had the thing floored in 4x4 high mode the turbo boost was up to 20 psi but it would hardly move. after i put it into 4x4 low then it pulled it up just fine although very slowly. the ramp is in decent shape and the trailer was not hung up on anything. then the thing would rev way too high before shifting into second and drive while pulling the trailer to the parking area. i took the boat out and came back about 6 hours or so later and the truck dragged the boat up the ramp just fine. then on the way home which is about a 50 mile ride it took forever to shift when starting out f

sounds like tranny is at end of life cycle and when it gets hots it slips more. dodge has had a lot of problem with automatic behind the cummins and redesigned the tranny yet again on 2005 models. after you get it rebuilt make sure it has a good sized aux cooler on it too. that chip you have on there to boost power adds a lot of strain to tranny that it cannot really handle. few people consider the impact of these boosts on the tranny. another thing if you have a 3.54 or 3.73 axle ratio the tranny will hold up a lot better with a 10 k boat on ramps with a 4.10 axle ratio. -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com .
