252,000 on engine, I believe this transmission has roughly 180,000 on it.

Thanks alot. I don’t really know which of these would be best to do though. I’m only at a basic level with mechanical work and I don’t touch electronics much beyond plug and play.

It’s also worth noting I have occasional misfires in 3 cylinders. They only throw CELs above 4 grand but I’m pretty sure they’re always there. I have a blown plenum gasket and recently ordered the kit to fix it, (its coming tomorrow, who knows when it’ll be installed though) so would it be worth seeing if the missing is causing the TCC to slip? I know for a fact that it only shudders when the TCC is locked, so it isn’t JUST the missing.

Thanks. It’s a 1999 Dodge Ram, 5.2L. It’s a gas engine so it should have a 46RE transmission. However it isn’t stock, it’s a Jasper aftermarket one and I have no idea if that makes it somehow different.

Would the connector for the solenoid be something easily identifiable on the outside of the transmission? I have a factory service manual but it isn’t completely clear on where this plug is.

This is essentially what my truck has been doing and everyone said it was not torque converter related. Only difference is that it keeps jerking above 55 mph. I even suggested a speed sensor and it was more or less ruled out.

What happened to this engine that you’re replacing the entire thing at 42,000 miles?

I know this guy and I told him to post here, so I can answer those before he sees this: It’s an analog gauge

As much as I like trucks, I also love W-platform cars with the 3800. So if it were me, I would be working out any possible way to get a truck, even if its not that one, and keep the GP. However, if fuel costs aren’t too big of a deal, then by all means ge

I don’t know what to say other than I will probably stay away from Chrysler if I ever buy a brand new car (I won’t, but if I did). I believe the plenum issue was a convenient vehicle life limiter, if not an engineered one. I shudder to think the kinds of

Lol well these trucks had awful automatic transmissions too, the one in my mine went at 70,000 miles. Thats far too soon. And the dashboard is essentially made of egg shells. I know all brands have problems, but I can’t shake the notion that these trucks
