| Description of the problem | Started 2005 ram 1500 and went up slight incline (30 degree) over a speed bump on road and traveled approximately 50 feet and the truck would not move. Put on brake to stop going backwards down the incline. Put into reverse still would not move, tried all forward gears 1st, 2nd, drive still would not move. Went onto internet to search for any similar complaints and found that other owners had found the transmission filter becoming loose caused their problem. We changed the 2 filters in transmission and replaced 8 quarts of atf4+ fluid. The engine light came on when started, but truck did move after it warmed up several minutes. Engine light went out after a few start ups and trips, seems to work alright at present time. |
