Overdrive problem or lockup?
I went and bought a 94 Dodge 2500 12v with a 1000 mile old tranny and it shifts like butter until overdrive. it shifts into it if im accelerating moderately hard but as soon as I try and keep maybe 50mph it kicks out. Overdrive solenoid bad? or tranny ground?
any help would be sweet. Thanks |
Sounds like the TV cable is out of adjustment, or the TPS is bad. Do a google search for "dodge diesel maintenance tips" for a very nice walkthrough on how to diagnose the TPS.

I would say your throttle linkage could be out of adjustment, which will cause TPS issues ...
Check out youtube for video's on how to do the adjustments :tu: |
I work on trans for a living and the output speed sensor can get a dead spot in reading and cause it to drop from 4th. After checking cable if all good there then replace the output speed sensor next.
|
mine was doing the same .. it was tps .. if it were shifting late I would say cable or sensor ..
|
Never heard of an output speed sensor issue on a pre 98.5 Ram. Hm.
|
Yeah .. if it were an RE trans ( Post 98 ish ) I would say it is possibel .. I think if your running a 12V you have an RH , Or am I wrong for the 2nd time this year ? :humm:

Yea didn't look at year it is a govener unit so no speed sensor on that one just the speedo sensor. Also if it has that square switch in the dash I have seen it build up too much resistance and cause it to drop 4th. I have one in my box at work saw it the other day and laughed as thought never use this thing so if comes to that I can get it to u cheap. I also have a new three pin od/tcc solenoid if interested in buying it. Find out what u can get it for and will give u this one at half off that price. Lt1z350@bellsouth.net if wanna email me and talk about it.

I just found that out today as well 97's did have RE also ... I guess if it were a problem with O/D or Lock-up .. I would say sensors ... anything else TCM
