My truck is taking off in 2nd gear.

I bout an 02 ram 1500 5.9l and shortly after I bout it it had no response taking off, like I was taking off in 2nd gear. So I babied it, I had to pull my trailer with my chevy. Smh.
So a couple months went by and on my way to work I pulled up to a stop sign and when I pulled away my tranny was stuck in 2nd gear and wouldn't shift unless I had high RPM's.
So I parked her for about 3 months and jumped in one day to take it around the block and everything shifts fine. Someone please tell me what is wrong with my truck. Tired of putting money into it.

Guy with dodge and no power.

Sounds like shift solenoid, have you changed fluid and filter and had bands adjusted?

I've had 2 of those 46re's do that to me before the blew up. They aren't a very good tranny. I'd recommend a Transgo shift kit when you rebuild it.
