Hello everyone,
I own 2013 ram 1500 crew cab, 6 speed, 5.7... Today while driving around 75 mph on a high way my truck felt like it shifted from 6th to 2nd or 1st gear. The front end dove hard and i got a chance to hit the breaks. All of this took a split second. Then i was able to drive the truck normaly... it probably slew down just 15 mph from 75 during all this, but it was vilent dive of the front end. I used the transmission shift to describe the feeling I felt while driving, honestly don't think it was a transmission because the truck never got out of 6 gear. This is the second time i experienced such sudden jerk down in power in the past two years... I couldn't find anything on forums that would explain anything like that. No codes came up etc...
There is no strange noises in the engine that would signal maybe sudden stop of the engine and restart at a split second, if that is even possible... it felt as if i hit the breaks really hard, really fast just for a split second. All my breaks were done about 10k miles ago...
If any one experienced anything like this please chime in, it felt dangerous.
Thank you
