What's up with my 2011 Ram? 70K miles, suddenly this morning it won't go into gear...i.e. the engine starts, column shifter moves just fine, will shift into Neutral but not Reverse or Drive...meaning, the shifter moves to R and N and D but the truck stays in Neutral the whole time, won't even attempt to engage R or D! Ugh!
I've got the extended warranty thru Mopar, bought this truck new in Nov 2011, and it's at the dealership now getting looked at...but just curious as to what Moparts members might be able to tell me about this...?
I checked the fluid and it's clean and does not smell bad, and full. I scanned this myself at home (just scanned, did not clear the code) and the code for Low Transmission Pressure came up.
Any ideas? Will the fix be something simple or new transmission? Any guesses?

This is odd...the filter came loose inside the pan!
The tech has replaced the filter, flushed the trans and re-filled with ATF, out test-driving now. I hope that is all that is wrong!

Yup, that's what happened! All is well now, new fluid, filter and she goes like new! 545RFE behind a 5.7 in a 2011 Ram 1500.
What is the recommended service interval for this transmission? And, does this one still use ATF+4 or something else?
Thanks!

Glad to hear all is good. Yes ATF+4 is what that should use. Ron

Thanks! Runs great now, no issues after this repair (under warranty, too boot!)

The fix for that is to use a GM 125 filter seal instead of the stock one. It will seal the filter tighter and help to keep the neck from coming loose. We do it on all builds.
