problem #1

Dec 212005

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,753 miles
05/Dodge truck Ram 1500/quad 140wb 4X2 transmission shifts all the time in over drive. It doesn't shift in tow/ haul like that. After four times in shop they say this normal to do this. 1,400 miles later the rear axle pinion seal was leaking. Seal#52070340-ab. They just change the seal and add lubricant#4874469. In passing a car it will run up too 5800 rpms, then go to 2500 rpms then 1800 rpms.
