Hello Ram owners. Looking for some guidance. I have a 2015 Ram 2500 6.4 tradesman with 103k miles. When towing a trailer with my family's dirt bikes bake from the trails in NH home to CT my truck went into the dreaded limp mode. I was 150 miles from home so I had little options but to press on.
When I got home I scanned it to reveal a P0871 code.
I replaced the valve body and solenoid with a Sonnax but I think the damage was done. Now I get a P0735 code and it slipped on the 4/5 shift. So the tranny is toast. So here are my options:
1) get a Mopar factory tranny and install it (I'm a bit concerned about they durability)
2) Have a highly rated tranny shop rebuild it. (Concerned about people doing it correctly)
3) Buying an aftermarket built proof tranny ( suggestions please) and installing it.
4} Anything else you suggest that I'm missing...
I've rebuilt an automatic (Ford aod-e) before but I just don't have the time/ambition to tackle it again. I really want my truck up and running soon.
Bonus question: if anyone in CT has had this happen and can recommend a quality rebuild shop I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
