piece of crap truck!!!!!!! I put two transmissions in this truck the last one went out at 25,000 miles now In have to spend another 2,900 just to get it fixed, going on number three transmission!!! these trucks suck ass in the years 1996-1999, I will never buy another one. you think dodge would have their sh*t together!!!!!!!!!!!!guess they figured it out in 2000,now I have a problem free durango that is a 2003 year and stuck with a 1996 lemon ram 1500.
i don.t think its good salesmanship to sale a vehicle to the consumer and makr them pay for auto compainies screw ups if we where to do that sort of shafty saling of a vehicle they would have our asses nailed to the wall but its legal for the auto industry to do it
First gear went out. When the transmission was pulled apart the rear drum bushing was completely gone. The dealer may not have replaced this part. Mr Transmissions rebuilt it this time and I've returned it three times and they still can't get it to shift properly.
I will never buy an automatic transmission vehicle from the Chrysler Corp.
I had bought this truck for my son because I knew that it had just had a complete engine install so I never really drove it a lot. After he complained once about the transmission missing shifting going into second gear I test drove it. I notice that the Temp gauge was at 205 degrees and steady. The transmission began to shift in and out of overdrive and after trying to find the problem and only after two shops could not detect the reason behind the symptoms I found that the water being hot, and maybe other reasons, caused the transmission fluid to gum up and clog the cooler lines cutting off the fluid to the transmission and burning it up. The pump had been working but the shops did not check the return line for pressure, had they done that in the beginning my transmission could maybe been salvaged.
