Why can't Dodge put a 4-speed auto tranny in their 1/2 ton trucks thats worth a damn? Two weeks ago, I towed my RC to Moab and back with my '99 Ram (that has never towed before in its life!) and now it looks like I'll probabaly be rebuilding the tranny this week! &*%@!#$!!!
I'm just furious that a truck rated to tow 7800 lbs, will fry the tranny towing a 6500 lb trailer. I did everything right, kept OD turned off, had the right fluid in the tranny, and even had it flushed back in May!
I took it to West Motors in Preston yesterday. I talked to the service manager last night. He said they still have a few more diagnostics to do, but he said so far, everything on the outside of the tranny is fine, so they're headed inside (read: rebuild).
POS, I knew I should a bought a 3/4 ton Cummins.
