Solenoid was the sign on 98 we had and since my dad kept driving and did not take it. Full rebuild or replace with used had to happen. We got one from a cash for clunkers trick $1400 installed.

I have yet to have any work done yet but mine seems to surge out and bog down from 2000 rpms to like 1200 once i hit like 50 mph but if i gas it a little harder it will accelerate fine and drive on.

I had an overdrive selenoid CEL for a couple years, then had a shift kit and all new selenoids done. Had I not moved that summer my tranny might have lived. Bu
But it didn't. 
1800 bucks all rebuilt, HD clutches, new converter (lockout clutch facing gone) and deep pan. Still gets a bit too warm when towing large loads.
Needs gears.

Emailed a guy on craigslist:
He will take a look at mine for free to see whats wrong with it before too, I just need to get out there to him.

Pending on the condition of the transmission i can rebuild it for 600 plus a converter 120 for a dacco or you can up grade it (dacco is basically a stock dodge with minor upgrades). Billet converters run anywhere from 350 - 500. Or a lifetime warranty pure performance triple disk converter for 1300. Other than that a i would recommend a couple hundred dollars for aftermarket good stuff! This will make this transmission hold 500hp all day long and it will fix all of the factory "flaws" Either way i put a 1 year warranty on it but aftermarket parts will prolong the transmissions life!

So no other 2nd gens have had tranny work done?
I think I am going to try and budget about $1200 for the rebuild/install. What do you think? I am hoping to have some extra funds thats why its at $1200 so I can use the rest for some tuneup stuff. and I figure a couple hundred for that stuff

I have a 15kGVW cooler, deep sump pan, and a shift kit. The "warm surges" come from leaving stop signs/lights in summer traffic with the air on.
Gears help eliminate the extra demand put on the TC as it strains to pull my truck from a dead stop, especially with a load of wood.
Sorry for the "post jack" Wermbang.
