I got into my truck this morning started it up and it ran fine. I took a short trip (10 miles) and my truck was shifting just fine. On my way back home, about half way, I came off a stop and my truckfelt like it was starting out in second gear. I came to another stop and the truck felt like it was shifting in an out while i was stopped. Got to a sandwich shop ordered my food and came back out and started the truck up again. this time the truck shifted fine for a few miles and then it started acting up again. I tried the key on/off method and couldn't get any codes. The fluid isn't burnt at all. I dunno what my problem could be, i have no performance mods, i rarely tow and when i do its always fairly light, and the truck is driving normally and not like a scalded ape. I'm suppose to go on a trip here soon and wanna get this all sorted out so i don't get stranded anywhere.
thanks

I had a scan tool put on it and it showed nothing was wrong with the truck. I drove it and it shifted just fine for 19 of the 20 miles i drove, when i got a mile from home the truck,off a stop, started out in secong gear again and that was the only time. I really don't know much about automatics and i don't want to have to put a new tranny in right now, i'm a little short on the $$ for the moment.

i had the same prob....my prob was due to a bad govenor pressure sensor it is easy to change drop the tranny pan and there it was. start to finish was under 30 min.....

Scarecrow, about how much does the govenor pressure sensor cost and did yours show up any codes?
thanks matt

scarecrow

that i do not know....a friend of mine works for a dodge dealership and i called him when the truck started acting up i told him what it was doing and he said the govenor pressure sensor was bad. he had 1 in his tool box so he gave it to me and then told me how to put it in. came home put it in that was like 4 months ago...
