Dodge Transmission Problem
my 2005 Dodge 2500 diesel starts bucking at Highway speeds - seems to pop out of 4th & into neutral then catches 4th again. This bucking keeps going once it begins.
had the dealers transmission guy drive it with his diagnostic equipment hooked up, and it bucked but he could not see the problem. they adjusted the linkages and checked for metal in the pan magnet:there was none.
rebuilt replacement is $6,000,which is hard to handle, especially not knowing the actual problem. (could be one of the several hydrolic systems would be a few hundred to replace or 600ish for all of them)
truck has 108,000 miles and otherwise in good shape. replacing truck not an option. Has a nice airbrake installed.
having a different dealer look at it next week in hopes they can diagnose the problem.
would like a spring trip with our Montana to warm Arizona, but can't unless we fix the truck.
Any other thoughts?
