First gear on the transmission does not shift until I let off the peddle and the tac. drops down.
I had the same problem with my 96 Ram 1500. I thought I was going to have to pull it out and get it rebuilt or just replace it. That was at 134,000Km it's now got 210,000 and shifting like a dream. What I did to solve the problem was this, as follows:
1. No lucas transmission Fix makes things worse.
2. Get your self a new transmission filter and gasket
3. Grab Gunk transmission medic 12oz
4. Grab 7 Liters of Valvoline ATF+4 transmission fluid (Made for chrysler transmissions)
5. Drop the trans pan and drain all the oil, clean pan and magnet
6. start truck for 5 seconds and the pump will pour out another 1 liter
7. re-install filter, gasket and pan, then add your Valvoline ATF+4
8. Add, the valvoline, transmission medic and make sure you have the right level of fluid
That solved my transmission problems, instantly it was shifting better, I no longer had to let off the gas to make it shift. Now if you have large pieces of metal on the magnet, and it's totally covered in filings, you might want to consider rebuilding the trans. My magnet had usual clutch.
Anyhow good luck, let me know if it did the trick for you.

The gas gauge in my truck falls down to empty after I turn the truck on. Also the gas light turns on. This happens even after I pit gas in the truck. What could it be? the sensor, gas pump, tune up?
The fuel pump and the sensor is altogether as one assembly. So if you buy the pump you would also be buying the sensor. Just for your information the pump is located in the gas tank under the bed, so you have two ways to change it. One is take the bed off (which is a lot easier if you have a full gas tank). But if its empty than use a jack to lower the tank down from underneath the truck. I hope this helps.

96 dodge ram stalls randomly, usually when coming to a stop
If no codes , or check engine light on, try pulling IAC (idle air control) motor off and cleaning it, as well as port it came out of with throttlebody spray cleaner, then re-install & try it. If it's good for a while, then starts to do it again, replace the IAC motor.

Describe your 1996 dodge ram 2500 transmission Problem Automatic Transmission has started acting flaky. When in Drive, it will shift through first and second gear normally, but does not go into third or overdrive. Initially I could bump up in to neutral, then back down into drive and it would shift normally for a while. Last time I tried to drive it did not shift above second (acted like it did shift but was more like no gear - neutral). I'm going to try changing fluid/filter before I shott the truck. Any ideas?
Well, first do the service. Pull the pan down and look for metal shavings. If there is metal shavings your in for a transmission. If not, you may have a problem with one of the transmissions shift solenoids located near the valve body.
P.S. The Duramax has the Allison 1000 transmission not the dodge cummins and they are one of the best trannys on the market.
