So I could really use some advice.
About a week ago my truck, 99 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.9liter, started giving me shifting problems. Wouldn't shift past what ever gear 20 - 25 is and I've tried playing with the gas pedal speed up slow down I can get to 50mph at 4700 rpm. The other part to it is now when you turn the steering wheel from a stop or under10mph the whole truck Jerks and struggles so I have to ease off the turn and it turns smooth.

I'm not a seasoned mechanic yet but
I already changed the tranny oil filter magnet both solenoids still same problem no change. I'm using atf-4 using a Chilton book and common sense but I'm exhausting my funds and patience on this.

Any ideas help thoughts would be so helpful. Thanks in advanced.

You might start with adjusting your transmission bands.
The turning thing sounds like bump steer. What does your track bar look like?

The floor shifter is all the way forward. Since I haven't thought of it and there's no markings I don't know what gear that is.

Omg lol. I'll have to try that when I'm home. I've never had a 4x4 before. Always had Hondas because I commute. How do you put it in 4x4 properly and take it out of rx4 properly
