RAM RHO Transmission Issue

well I'm lost!

the D1 means drive one, in manual I believe it says S1 or M1, you can configure you're dash to display the gear as well as the heads up display

Ok got it, that makes sense to me then. Man I’m drawing a blank on this one.

I'm going to try switching from M to D, and I'll also disconnect the battery to reset the PCM. How long should I way before reconnecting, 20 mins? Man, I feel like tech support "now power off your PC, now turn it back on". Ha!

That should be sufficient. I believe RAM states 15 mins, but another 5 “just in case”. Alternatively, after the time, you can touch the battery cables together for about 30 seconds to discharge any residual voltage. This can expedite the PCM reset process.

Just curious about manual shift mode (aside from any performance modes), just make sure the truck isn’t set to force you to use the paddles, that’s what I think is going on. Have another dealer check it out, clearly those ass clowns aren’t competent.

You can go into the settings of the digital cluster and turn on the “current gear” display. Mine shows the gear in all modes at all times.

My transmission just doesn’t feel smooth. Primarily when slowing down, the shift from 3rd to 2nd clunks often. And in slow/creeping traffic if I tap the gas it clunks. When driving at 20+mph it’s smooth. It seems to not like when it’s not under load.

I have noticed the same thing when tapping gas from slow speed. Does not feel smooth until it gets going through gears. It’s like it’s catching hard or maybe the clunk you reference.
