So i bought this truck with actually 96k on it. I drove it and when i hit 40-45 mph, my truck would downshift and the rpms would hit 3k then upshift and drive normal. The overdrive would be on when this happens, but when its off it doesnt do this problem.

Update from Sep 9, 2016: this happens no matter how long the truck runs or anything, if it hits that mph it will do it.

my 97 dodge ram starts in second gear so im unable to haul or tow anything wich defeats the purpose of having a truck. i bought it from the origanl owner and he said it started the year after he bought it. So i looked on line and tons of these trucks have the same problem they should have a recall for something like this.

When I am about to go from 4th gear (at about 50mph) to overdrive, truck shakes. then I push in the overdrive button in it stops. this happens in city driving. when going on to the highway with gas pedal down it does not happen , like i said it only happens at a slower acceleration speed! Any solutions please help can't afford a mechanic . on part time now because of economy! thanks joe

the thing want shift we have to do it manually and it gets on are nerves even by doing it that way it still don't shift like it needs too. we are stumped on what to do......!!!!!!!!!!
