Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Transmission noise in reverse?

[onstottc]

I noticed something with my 1995 2wd 2500 Auto that I have had for a week now. When I put it into reverse there is a humming sound that comes from the drive train. This occurs before I start moving. I have also noticed that it has a tendency to stall when I am backing up. The rig has 211,000 Miles on it. Does anybody have a clue as to whether this is normal?

I have a '96 2wd with 47K on it, and when it's cold, it will do it for the first backup in the morning. After that, it doesn't make a sound again. I also drive a '03 Dodge Dakota V6 (company vehicle) which has 21K on the clock, and it does exactly the samething each morning; either they both have a problem or else this is normal. I haven't lost any sleep over this one, but they don't stall as you mentioned, so your situation may be different.

My '94 did that too, before it was rebuilt.



The noise was always there in reverse, though... hot or cold.
