2013 Dodge Ram 2500. Consumer writes in regards to torque converter drains fluid back into transmission when parked over night or longer at various rates, engine stalls, gear shifter issues. The consumer stated the minimum drain back was 1/2 quart above full in the transmission, which caused soft engagement of the gear selected. However, the consumer stated the worst experience was when the truck was facing up hill on a slight grade and the gear selector was in drive. With a light throttle, the vehicle rolled backwards and the brakes had to be applied. The consumer also stated when slowing down to any speed, except in first gear with or without the exhaust brake on, when the engine RPM dropped to 900-1000 RPM the transmission shifted to neutral and not the next lower gear. As a result, the vehicle free wheeled especially picking up speed going down hill. Updated 12/13/2017 updated 7/12/18
