Transmission problems
I have a 2006 Ram 2500 4x4 with a 5.7
hemi and RFE 545 transmission. I have
been having tranny issues where I have
had the transmission rebuilt 4 times
and then the 5th time a completely
different transmission was rebuilt. The
transmission cooler was replaced
twice and the ECM replaced once. The
solenoid block has also been replaced
four times.
The issues I am having are that when
the truck is put under load it will start
to throw codes that the transmission is
having improper gear ratios in most, if
not all, gears. It is also throwing codes
of improper torque converter pressure,
P0700 millivolt code and improper
pressure code.
This has caused it to overheat and
pressurize the transmission to push
fluid out of it. As a result, it will cause
the transmission to no longer be able
to move the truck. I have to wait until
the tranny cools down and reset the
computer to have no codes to get it to
it to move and shift properly again. If I
baby the transmission, it seems to shift
fine unless I take it on long drives of 2
hours or more and then the same
codes will pop up and overheat.
If anyone has experienced something
similar to this, I would greatly
appreciate any input on this matter.
The transmission shop that I brought it
to has honored their warranty and
completed the work described above.
However, at this point I have to look
elsewhere to see if this issue is being
caused by something else that we
cannot figure out. Please feel free to
forward my concern to anyone that
may be able to help resolve this issue.
Thanks for any help or input you can
provide.
