After traveling four hours in 70 degree weather at 65mph into wind pulling a 12k toy hauler 5th wheel came to a long uphill pull. Cruise was set at 65. Ram 3500 mega cab, 373 gears, 727 trans with Mag Hytec oil pan. Truck slowed to around 30 or less 3000 rpms trans temp shot up to 230 (oil in pan) 260 (oil in line going to cooler) started to jerk very hard throttle pedal on the floor full rpms maxed out won't come out of over drive (tried to release several times with button on shifter), finely came out by tapping brake pedal. Feathered throttle to keep moving still jerking, after getting to top slowing brought back up to speed ran good the rest of the way home. Tranny rebuilt 4/14 at 57000 now at 82000 by very knowledgeable brothers since retired.Trans oil smells burnt.
Looking for rebuilding pointers to upgrade trans.
Also this never happened before but i had a lot of blow by appeared to come from the bell housing all engine oil all the way to the back of trailer, and dripping from bottom of truck.
CORRECTION THE TRANS IS A 48RE SORRY MY MISTAKE
