are you sure that your factory shocks are bad. did you do a bounce test on the old ones. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving hi help me if you can! it is time to replace my shocks on my 2001 ram quad 2500 with tow and camper packages. i bought over the shelf shocks and they feel almost as weak as the factory shocks i am replacing. where can i find the specs on the factory shocks and replacement shocks so i can do an equal replacement thanks .

despite the wiplash on this subject. starting your truck a little earlier to warm it up and placing the shifter in n while it warms will help to shorten this. i expirenced the same faults on my used no manual 94 3/4 4x4. this helped to get the oil circulating in the tranny by heating it up. once it got warmer i did a complete oil change in the unit replacing the filter conducting maint as described in my new direct from the factory dodge maint manual for trucks with cummins engines. ebay special for $75. something to keep in mind is this the 904 / a500 / 727 / a518 / a618 family of automatics does not feed the converter circuit in park and only barely in reverse so if youre going to circulate the fluid it must be in neutral this is why dodges have the wont pull in reverse after sitting a few days problem; the converter drains back into the pan and doesnt fill in either park or neutral if it doesnt fill in either park or neutral how does it circulate the fluid in neutral -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
