    Transmission issues... hope someone can help

    The truck has the OEM cooler behind the bumper, no damage to it. But several times the truck has done this immediately after startup in the AM...and there's no way the Trans Temp whould be high when the truck's been sitting all night.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Transmission issues... hope someone can help

    I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4 X4 with the Cummins Diesel and 47RE automatic transmission. I had the transmission rebuilt 30,000 miles ago in 12/2015 and it has been flawless up until the past month. I've been having an issue where the electronic overdrive drops out and the Trans Temp light and...

    Rocker Trim Screws

    Went hunting for rocker trim screws today (missing a few), and wondered what is the wax-like coating on each screw about halfway down? I assume that's where the screw goes through the floor, and this stuff was used to keep moisture from working back up into the cab? I only needed 8 screws, but...

    Floor mats

    I have used a set of Husky liners in my '01 2500 since I bought the truck in '05 and they are still working just fine. The LH side is curling a bit from my foot hitting it as I get in, but they stay put and still clean up well, plus there's no danger of any spill getting past the LH mat now. I...

    Interior Roof Console

    Can anyone tell me if the roof console housing itself (w digital computer) minus the guts is available from any source? I thought maybe Geno's Garage sold them but I didn't see them in their catalog. One of the pressure on/off switches in my console lights broke tonight and I think I broke...

    Surge/Blip?

    Greetings all. In the past few weeks I've been experiencing a momentary engine surge while driving @ 50 mph in my '01 Ram 2500 Cummins diesel. Not really even like a surge....it's like a blip in the throttle. Sometimes it does it several times before going away, sometimes not. But I haven't...

    Trans shifting up and down?

    Just had my 01 2500 4x4 Cummins 47RE transmission rebuilt about 3 weeks ago. No issues until rain hit this week. For the last three days driving in the rain, the OD would switch off on its own and the TRANS TEMP light would come on inadvertently. No rain today, and it didn't do it on my drive...

    How much Money you spent on truck

    Bought my truck in '05 for $18k, and really hadn't put out much until this year. I had the radiator cleaned and flushed several years ago and had the fuel sender replaced in '13. This year I have replaced the water pump ($100), the radiator, belt, and hoses ($400), and had the transmission...

    No Reverse

    Got it back today with my wallet $2500 lighter, but it hasn't shifted this smoothly in the 10.5 years I've had it. Apparently there was a snap ring that broke having something to do with reverse? Anyway, it's good to have the truck back again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    No Reverse

    Running errands this morning when I went to shift into Reverse...nothing. You can feel movement like the trans going into gear when you shift to Reverse, but the truck doesn't move. Went to one shop today and was told rebuild was in order. Anyone else ever experience this? Sent from my...

    Seat Covers

    Thanks for your replies. I've seen the replacement leather covers online but the color isn't a match...too beige. Plus $600 a seat is a bit more than I can pay for just the covers. LH bottom cushion has to be replaced as well...no luck finding those either. Sigh... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A...

    Is the Ram 2500 Cummins the most fuel economical amongst 3/4 ton to one ton diesel pi

    I have an older '01 Cummins and if I keep my foot out of it, the truck will get 23-25 mpg on the highway and 19-20 mpg around town. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Radio sound cuts in and out...

    Has anyone here had issues with their OEM head unit sound cutting in and out while in operation? Mine jumps between speaker locations without warning (usually LF and RF), but a good push on the display face will usually bring the sound back. Anybody else seen this...is it fixable or is it time...

    Seat Covers

    Hello, everyone. Anyone here have any luck getting AM seat covers? My 01 is an SLT Plus truck and the leather on the fronts are really starting to come apart...anyone know of replacements that don't cost an arm and leg? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    AC cutting off randomly...

    Thanks for everyone's input. This shutting off started 2 summers ago, and has very slowly been getting worse since. Just that this summer has been really hot, so it's more noticeable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
