I am DONE. I went for a ride after cleaning up the ground wires and resetting the pcm. Seemed like it was ok. Went for a 10 mile ride on Rt80 got off and tried to make a u turn and get back on and truck wouldn't move in D. Dropped it down to 1 and it moved. Had to shift it manually to make it move.

Took it to a independent trans shop. Owner took me for a ride in it. According to him the "sprag" is shot and the trans needs to be rebuilt. He told me I could continue to drive it by manually shifting the gears but it needs to be rebuilt.

I brought it home, cleaned it out and listed it on ebay.

If any of you trans guys wants a 74,000 mile '97 Ram 4x4 to try your hand at....pm me and I'll send you the link to the auction. I AM DONE!!!!!!!!
