Dodge Ram Transmission Problems: What You Need to Know

Dodge Ram Transmission Overview

Dodge Ram trucks are known for their powerful engines and rugged durability. However, like any vehicle, they can experience transmission problems. The transmission is a complex system responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the truck to shift gears and operate at different speeds. Over time, wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or manufacturing defects can lead to various transmission issues.

Common Dodge Ram Transmission Problems

Here at TTS, we specialize in reverse engineering transmissions to make them better than new. With almost two decades of experience, we've seen it all, and these are some of the most common problems we find on Dodge Ram Transmissions:

  • Rough Shifting

  • Slipping Gears

  • Transmission Fluid Leaks

  • Overheating

  • Torque Converter Problems

  • Sensor Malfunctions

Causes of Dodge Ram Transmission Problems

Dodge Ram transmission problems can stem from various factors, including:

  • High Mileage: As the truck accumulates mileage, components within the transmission naturally wear down, making them more prone to failure.

  • Towing Heavy Loads: Regularly towing heavy trailers or hauling substantial cargo puts added stress on the transmission, accelerating wear and tear on its components.

  • Aggressive Driving: Frequent hard acceleration and abrupt stops can generate excessive heat and stress on the transmission, contributing to premature wear and potential damage.

  • Poor Maintenance: Neglecting regular transmission fluid changes and filter replacements can lead to fluid contamination, lubrication issues, and accelerated wear of internal parts.

  • Manufacturing Defects: In some cases, transmission problems may arise due to manufacturing defects or design flaws present from the factory.
