When accelerating to pass another vehicle, transmission jumped out of gear, and did not go into any other gear until the truck slowed down. This could have caused a crash. Truck has been to the dealership numerous times for this problem, but dealer was not able to duplicate the problem. New valve body installed, but problem still exists. *ak

Ralphs dodge replaced the rear end with any problems. Now the transmission is gone as of 11/ 12/1999 and still we are without a truck and it doesn't look they plan on fixing it anytime soon.
I have owned this truck for less than 1 year and fifth gear has gone out 5 times. I previously had a 1998 dodge ram pickup and after fifth gear going out four times I had to replace the whole transmission. My son owns a 1998 dodge ram pick up and has had to replace the transmission and fifth gear twice. What is wrong? Please help us.
Reporting defective transmission parts; on two occasions the fifth gear went out due to a nut that retracted and caused the transmission to lose fifth gear. Now on third occasion they will replace transmission. Can the federal safety agency help or provide additional information on this matter.
