2007 Dodge RAM 5.7 Hemi. Transmission slips when first started.

Transmission started slipping right after initial start. at 35k miles I had transmission serviced and dealer loaded an eprom update. Truck worked for two weeks and started slipping again.

Dealer says truck is out of warranty but it is slipping worse than ever now that I have 40K on the truck. Only happens right after I put it in gear and only for about 45 seconds.

If this is a documented pre-existing problem before your warranty was expired. Call the main office in Detroit and file a complaint.

Check the obvious - fluid level up to par? If so go back to dealer (unfortunately) since their fix was not permanent.

SOURCE: Overdrive light blinks and Trainy slip when you are above 45

i would say you have a faulty speed sensor if the trans isn't seeing the correct speed overdrive will not work.check the codes it should lead you in the right direction.

SOURCE: 1998 dodge ram 4x4 transmission problems

You will need to get the transmission rebuilt. With the info that you have provided the direct clutches are welded together. Becareful about getting it rebuilt, most shops see Dodge transmissions and they see dollar signs. You should be able to get it rebuilt for around $800.00 to $1000.00 depending on amount of damaged hard parts. Thanks and good luck with your repair.

SOURCE: Dodge Truck Transmission

It could be the Vehicle Velocity Sensor (VVS) or it could be the Transmission control module (TCM). Check all the wire harness, V.V.S and T.C.M. The best thing to do is to check the truck for any DTC code. Auto Zone scan free of charge and hope we can find out why the transmission is not working properly. Keep me posted, be glad to help.

SOURCE: Check engine light is on transmission is slipping

Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on. You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE and perhaps eventually fix the problem.

My dodge ram 2500 pick up slip transmission how to fix 2006

First have the codes read, while you can still drive it. With a scanner, not a code reader. Readers don't read transmission codes. It could be something cheaper, like a solenoid replacement. Or a costlier transmission rebuild.

Those are known for transmission problems. I would change the fluid and filter in the transmission. Also I would put 2 quarts of Lucas Transmission Treatment in it and if its not too late that should make it last a little longer, I am sure it will eventually start slipping worse and then start slipping in all gears but with Lucas you might get another couple years out of it depending on how hard you are on it. Sorry its not better news but I am a mechanic and I work on 6-8 dodge trucks a month and 1 or 2 will be showing sighns that the transmission is slipping. One way to tell if it is slipping is to pull the trans dipstick when its warm and you have driven a few miles and see if there are a lot of air bubbles on it. If there are, its slipping.

My 2001 dodge ram 1500 with 5.2L sometimes slips in overdrive. what could be causing it

Assuming its an automatic. Check the Transmission fluid first and foremost. Follow the instructions on the dip stick. If the fluid turns out alright then sorry to say but the clutch plates inside the transmission are going out. Transmission fluid could smell burnt. I had a 2000 ram and at 82000 miles thats when it started doing the same thing. I drove it til it wouldn't move forward or back.

Transmission slipping

Did you check the trans oil level. When you changed
the RADIATOR you will loose some trans oil.
If the transmission oil was low when you changed
the radiator it's lower now. Check it now.
Now, if thats not the problem. With that many miles
have you changed the trans oil lately theirs a filter
above the trans oil pan that may be pluged up change
it and the oil. Also, buy a can of trans X it's the only fix
in a can stuff I"LL use.
