Ram Year
1997
Engine
5.9
I have a 97 ram 1500, 5.9, 3 SPD w/ o.d.
Have replaced the solenoids, sensor switch, new filter, new +4 fluid, etc. Truck drives fine until it warms up, say a mile, or so. I then lose all transmission engagement. No forward in any gear, and no reverse.
If I let it sit for 5 minutes, the process starts over.
I am stumped.
Have heard various thoughts on electrical, but that seems weird that it only acts up when it warms up.
Thought,?

Try drilling out the check ball in the line. That helped my trans when it was automatic
