Hello, I have a relatively new 2017 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7 and 3.92 gears. The truck has just at 2700 miles on it. This is my weekend vehicle and the last three times I let it sit more than a couple of days I noticed the following.
Whether the truck is parked head first or tail first in my drive way I start the engine and let it warm up a few seconds rotate the truck to drive, or reverse and back up then to drive, and slowly proceed down the road. On these occasions where the truck sat over two days the truck continued to stay stuck in 1st gear and then shift hard to second after winding up in the rpm range. This is with a very light foot. It doesn't do this any other time and once it goes into second it's fine and no other issues. I've been driving the truck very very easy working on gas mileage but other than this no issues.
Is this common or is something to be concerned about?
