Having trouble at freeway speeds 60-70 mph, When accelerating to pass if I mash the gas the trans shifts down than back up in about a second and then seems to bog, It seems to accelerate a lot faster if I push the pedal slower so it does not down shift. I took the truck to another Dodge dealer in a different city and they say the trans is fine, just like the local dealer I took it to last year. I bought the truck new and now has 8,500 miles. Has anyone noticed this with their truck?
 
I know there is another thread on here about someone else having the same problem
 
try this first


ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1.Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2.Remove air cleaner if necessary.
3.Disconnect cable end (3)(Throttle Valve Cable at Throttle Linkage) from attachment stud on throttle lever (1). Carefully slide cable off stud. Do not pry or pull cable off.
4.Verify that transmission throttle lever is in fully closed position. Then be sure lever on throttle body is at curb idle position.
5.Pry the T.V. cable lock (A) into the UP position. This will unlock the cable and allow for readjustment.
6.Apply just enough tension on the T.V. cable (B) to remove any slack in the cable. Pulling too tight will cause the T.V. lever on the transmission to move out of its idle position, which will result in an incorrect T.V. cable
7.Adjustment. Slide the sheath of the T.V. cable (D) back and forth until the centerlines of the T.V. cable end (B) and the throttle bell crank lever (C) are aligned within one millimeter (1mm).
8.While holding the T.V. cable in the set position push the T.V. cable lock (A) into the down position. This will lock the present T.V. cable adjustment.
NOTE: Be sure that as the cable is pulled forward and centered on the throttle lever stud, the cable housing moves smoothly with the cable. Due to the angle at which the cable housing enters the spring housing, the cable housing may bind slightly and create an incorrect adjustment.

9.Reconnect the T.V. cable (B) to the throttle bellcrank lever (C).
10.Check cable adjustment. Verify transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body move simultaneously.

Or have your Overdrive Unit checked out more closely !!:dontknow:
 
here is what i ran into with mine. if I mashed the gas pedal at about 70mph or what would be 5mph within the shift point of second gear. the truck would down shift hard to second, hit the shift point (rpm) and kick into 3rd. the only time it did this was when I was cruising on the highway and floored it quickly and the tranny sensed it wanted 2nd gear, but couldnt comprehend tht it was to slose to redline and would do it anyway. once i got the stage II this never happened, when i took the stage II out and went back to stock it would happen again.
not sure if this is what you mean but thats what i found with our autos.
 
Same thing happens on all of the 46,47 and 48re transmissions from the factory. If the Stage two flashed fixed that is great!
 
Bingo........ Thats what I'd do.

Stage 2 will kill 2 birds.............. tranny shifts right and you wont be SLOW anymore ;)

Watch setting the TV if you don't know what your doing you could really f it up.................. no preasure;)
 
Trans shifting

The stage 2 flash fixed the problem, thanks
