mine leaks also on the driver side windshield. I think it is on the bottom corner. Its just more crappy dodge workmanship. I am still looking for a F350 crewcab to put the cummins motor into.

since I fixed my Trans issues & 2nd gear band. Truck is shifting great and goes into second and then release and then catches and shifts fine for all other gears. I was wondering if this issue with symptomatic of the TC issue. crusing at city speed it works fine, no issues with any other gears...

what are the symptoms of the TC locking and unlocking??

Thanks for the links to the parts and the help. I have ordered the additional parts to replace while I am in there and hope to have them by Tuesday of next week. The trans band looked in good condition and had no signs of wear and tear.

Just got it out. Thanks Landry. dang. I can see why transmission work is so darn expensive. Front band is intact except for the small wedge shaped thing a bob that fell out in the trans pan. I am sure the next hardest step is finding this small shaped wedge part. Would a normal auto parts store...

Update: today I removed the trans pan and found the anchor wedge in the bottom. close inspection revealed a crack where the dowel or pin fits into the wedge had been cracked. I am now preparing to remove valve body. Any hints on how to remove the valve body without screwing something up ?

I just checked this tran replacement on youtube. I don't think I would attempt this without a real lift to make it easier if I had to replace entire trans. . Dodge Ram 1500 clutch and manual transmission installation - YouTube

Gentlemen, Thank you all for the great info and advice it is very much appreciated. I will pull the trans pan tomorrow and confirm if the band components have dropped loose. It will probably be a good time to adjust rear band since pan will be off. will post info tomorrow am.

The torque screw kept on tightening and seemed like it would have dropped into the trans if I kept turning so I stopped. You believe I should have felt some sort of resistance as I turned the torque screw? There was absolutely no resistance. I took truck for a test drive and it wants to stay in...

appears my other postst have not made it on here. I was wrong last night the trans is not shifting from first to second gear. when lifting my foot from accelerator it then shifts to second and from there seems to be fine. reverse works well. I replaced the trans speed sensor and no change in...

Haven't had bands adjusted since I owned truck- 2nd owner, and i don't believe previous owner had that work done. After church this morning I will try to replace the speed sensor first and see if that fixes the issue. There are no dash warning lights on but I will cycle the key and see if any...

Thanks Cerberusiam. Real dumb questions but where are these speed sensors?

Thanks for the info. I had no idea where to start. I just took the truck out and when I lift my foot from the gas the trans then will go to the next gear. The issue seems to be getting if from first then to the next gears. Once it gets to the next gears it runs good. I will start replacing...

what happened with the speed sensor? My transmission seems to have a similar issue. Just started with no warning will not shift higher than 1st or 2nd. What did you do to fix and and what did it cost?

Truck ran great the weekend before. Went to go hunting today and the truck would not shift above 2nd gear. Truck is an automatic. Not sure what is going on with it. Truck only has 86,000 miles and have not pulled anything heavy with it other than airstream trailer occassionally. This transmission...
