1998 Dodge Ram 2500 24 valve cummins diesel dash board cracking severely, anti lock brakes not functioning properly, overdrive locking and unlocking around 45 mph. After trying several remedies.

Having transmission problems with a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. Transmission overheats and "transtemp" light comes on after overdrive shuts of while doing highway driving. Truck has high miles but I believe the problem is attributed to a poorly designed torque converter malfunctioning and is not directly related to the age, miles or normal wear and tear of the vehicle. I have learned it is common to have the transmission rebuilt or repaired one or more times during the duration of the trucks life. If what I have learned is true then this is unacceptable business practice from Dodge and the consumer should not have to pay for a defect in manufacturing.

The torque converter broke, the front inner axle was leaking, the dealer replaced the inner axle seal and replaced the left axle U-joint, the consumer is still having problems with the vehicle locking up and lunging forward.

There is a lock up in transmission/torque converter. Computer program that tells torque converter when to lock up and unlock has a problem, causing torque converter to lockup and unlock sporadically. Dealer has nispected vehicle. Manufacturer has been notified.
