[AT] 98 Dodge 3500

[Stephen Offiler]

Bruce, here is Kevin's original message to the ATIS group:

"I picked up a 98 Dodge 1 ton truck the other day 360 gas engine. This
thing runs fine in park and reverse, but shift to N or drive and it is
over. I mean this thing runs so bad that it will not move its self
except in reverse, misses sputters. I got this with the intention of
using it as a tractor hauler tow vehicle. Yall have any idea what is
going on here ?"

Then later on, after some advice, he posted this:

"Ok this is what I find with scan tool, PO 753
Shift solenoid A circuit Electrical .
Autozone (where I borrowed the scanner from) said they could not get parts
to fix. That it was internal transmission ?"

And beyond that, there has been some good advice given to him on the
common causes for P0753.

I was just wondering what-ever happened.

SO

> I came in late on this problem, was it a shifting problem?  Dodge trucks had a lever on the side of the trans, on the outside, which would get rusted/corroded up & prevent shifting up in a normal manner.  I had a 93 Dodge Dakota with a snow plow that sat most of the summer, plowed fine, but on the road wouldn't shift up at normal speeds.  One national trans shop told me the trany was shot, took it to a local independent garage & 1/4 can of WD-40 & the problem was fixed.
