Hello, I have a 2013 RAM 1500 Hemi. Please forgive me in advance, I really don't know much about vehicles.
The truck seems to have a check engine light for missing on 7. I think this is unrelated to my issue, but I'm not sure.
When I approach a hill I normally try to accelerate slowly. In the RAM when I accelerate going up hill, it's as if it's fine in "1st gear", and then for a bit it feels like it won't accelerate at all, until finally it jumps into action, almost as if it's skipping "2nd" and going directly to "3rd". I'm putting these in quotes because I have no idea if it's actually the correct gears.
I do believe there's a slight transmission leak on the hose, but the fluid seems plentiful on the stick. I'm worried the transmission needs to be replaced or something, but hoping it's simpler than that. I currently only run 87 for gasoline.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
