Hey, yall, done a lot of research and really can’t find an answer or solution to what’s going on.
What’s happening: torque converter repeatedly unlocks, then locks again, doesn’t matter the speed, trans temp, or outside temp. Trans will also downshift randomly, while driving steadily (almost as if more throttle was given) and hang in gear before shifting sometimes.
What I’ve tried: I have a bi directional scanner, and looked through every sensor I could think of, pedal, throttle body, etc. and found no issues anywhere. I tried throttle body, and pedal, with no avail. I can hook up my laptop, or scanner and both show and confirm it’s going between locking, slipping, and unlocked. Truck is tuned (hp tuners) I tried removing the tune completely and using stock tune to no avail as well.
Maintenance that’s been done: bought the truck with 169k on it, with an and motor. Had a shop just do the motor because I got a really good deal. Don’t oil changes every 4-5k. Did trans service about 8k ago just changed filters and fluid.
It’s a 2013 ram 1500 5.7L 6sp 65rfe. Laramie if that matters.
Is it the torque converter that’s going out? Or is there something else I’m over looking?
I really appreciate you’r time if you’ve made it this far, and apologize if this wasn’t put in the right forum
