I recently bought an 03 ram 3500 quad can drw. I have 3 others same year. They are work trucks. This one had some issues but it was cheap and like I said I'm familiar with that year. I have all my dodge transmissions rebuilt by Aamco in rolla mo. The manager of shop is a straight forward guy who has a general knowledge of transmissions and diesel pickups, and gives me a 3 year nation wide warranty.
On to the problem I believe the 03 have a re47 but when he rebuilds them be uses 48 parts. I just had a complete rebuild with billet TC. When I picked it up it drives fine. Same as when I test drove it. But hook up a trailer in it goes to ****. I pull at 55-60 with overdrive off. This truck when trans warms up (45 miles into trip, only when loaded) the "halo" disappears around the D and "overdrive off" light goes off. To me it feels like TC unlocks and it will cycle regular to ( what I would call this limp mode). No codes popped up.
Now another Aamco can't get it to do it. Because they won't take time to hook up a trailer and drive it. They said its ready to go, but haven't done anything to it. If I get it I will burn up the trans and they will have to fix it, but that's just more time with me not having my truck.
Any suggestions? ???
