Number 4 for transmissions in this truck. This transmission went out 11 miles from dealership in Grand Forks, ND. I just had the transmission replaced drove half the home and the check engine light came on and NO overdrive again. I can tell you that I was furies at this point. I call the main office in Michigan and complained. They sent a main Dodge inspector down to look at three Rams in my area having the same problems. We took the Ram to Fargo ND to a different Dodge dealer. They spent about 5 days review the problems with my truck replace a computer chip and put in another transmission. A year later the transmission went out again so I trade the truck off for a different brand. I would never would of kept this truck if I didn't have the extended warranty.
