Hey, almost all of the info is in the title, I took my vehicle to the Dealer because she wouldn't go into reverse, and they quoted me nearly 9k for a used transmission, I declined and decided to try to fix it myself. She could drive, but not reverse, and so I replaced the solenoid pack, upon...

Hello Everyone, I have never made a forum post so If I leave out any key information please let me know. 4 years ago I bought my 2016 PMC at 60K and it has served me real well up until the past few weeks. I am currently at 145K and have been hit with a series of issues that stumped me and...

So a mechanic is rebuilding my transmission. He sent me a pic of all the parts that he had recieved for the rebuild. The fluid that he bought is Mercon V, Ford Motorcraft brand. Everywhere online I see that ATF + 4 is the one required. He insists that this is the one it needs but has not...

Hi everyone, I am having smoe issues with my PM and would like to know if anyone has had any similar issue. Last week I noticed my coolant deposit was super dirty. Took it to a mechanic and it turns out it was engine oil, so they changed the engine oil cooler, changed oil and cleaned radiator...

We recently had a cold snap in upstate New York, during which my 2014 Ram Promaster 2500, w/pentastar 3.6l engine and 62TE, refused to shift into reverse, then she started to refuse to shift into 6th. The day before the appointment at the dealer her coolant system blew, just going down the road...

I have a 2016 Promaster 159' that needs a Transmission. Would anyone know where to get a Factory one (already had one quote from the dealership) Is it possible to stay within the 5k(Cad) Mark for a new unit?. Not Remanufactured. Also.. how do we feel about Remanufactured.. not all parts...

I have been searching for, but have not found, a "severe duty" maintenance schedule for the Ram Promaster 3500. I did find in my owner's manual that the recommended oil change for severe duty is 4,000 miles, which is approx. one-half the mileage for an oil change for standard duty service. Other...

Hello, we are looking for a reliable mechanic to work on the transmission of our 2015 Diesel Promaster 2500. It’s leaking transmission fluid from the gasket and axles. We took it to Dodge in Carson City, NV and they literally quoted us $20K for the repairs. They said they would have to cut...

So lately I've noticed that after the engine has cooled off it seems like my shifts (especially in lower gears) are sometimes less than smooth. Nothing terrible but it can be noticeable. I shouldn't be able to feel my van shifting, so I'm thinking that my transmission fluid is in need of...

Hey all, My partner and I have been experiencing shakiness in our 2014 ram 3500 deisel van when increasing speed between 40-55mph. When the shake gets bad when going up a hill (RPMs are increasing), our dash light says "service transmission" and blinks red. The van stays in gear and nothing else...

Hello! Has anyone had any experience with their inverter interfering with their transmission control module? Our transmission light would come on over 2500 RPMs so we took it in to the dealer and they've found that our inverter has somehow interfered with the TCM wiring and burnt it out. Is it...

Yesterday morning at a stoplight the van acted like it would stall for a few seconds just after I stopped. Took off to that starving pump whine. I proceeded to get on the eway and drove for ~20 minutes no problem. Once I get off the eway, hit a redlight, when I went to gas on it, RPM's hit...

Was driving my 2014 Promaster 2500 Gas Automatic Transmission today to my dad's to change out the Air Conditioning and Radiator fan. On the way, the engine just randomly "slipped" into neutral. This is the first time this has ever happened. Pulled into a parking lot, and killed the engine...

Anyone have a 2022 Promaster yet? Wondering what you think about the new 9 speed transmission.

I'm a bit on my last straws here so if anyone has tips or experience I'd appreciate it very much: Once warmed up, my engine shudders when accelerating or going up hills- essentially when the engine is under 'load.' Typically happens at higher speeds 35mph+. My local mechanic detected a torque...

Hi all, I am a "lucky" owner of 2017 Promaster City with about 120K mi on the odometer. I am contemplating of doing a transmission fluid replacement mostly as a preventative measure. The van has no issues with shifting (knowing on wood) but I did read on here of few people who had issues with...

I have a 2019 159 extended high roof. I’ve read a lot of discussions about the transmissions shifting down to maintain a steady road speed. I’ve noticed that there are two distinct groups of comments on this topic. Both have merit and both have fierce defenders. Some love the feature and extoll...

Found a couple threads with similar issues, but not exact. At about 65mph (I only ever go 75 tops), the PM enters this seesaw between 6th and 5th gears. 6th struggles to maintain a constant speed, and at the slightest depression of accelerator, PM drops to 5th and revs high. This is during...

I've owned a 2016 Promaster city tradesman since August 2020 . Since then, my battery has died twice. Each time, after I jumped the battery , it became nearly impossible to shift into drive or reverse . And there is an error message, "Service hill holder". The check engine light comes on and...

Hey All, our 2018 Ram Promaster 1500 is currently at the dealership and waiting to determine if our transmission replacement is going to be covered. Sort of a long story, but I'll start with the fact that this van has 40,600 miles on it. So the story goes: We spent 2 nights camping in the Mt...
