If I need a new transmission band, do I have to buy a new transmission?

There are no new transmissions

New- is only installed on the assy line one time

No --- you have to totally disassemble to get to
any bands,so you always rebuilt it

Just the removal from any vehicle, given how heavy
they have gotten, is a challenge

20 years ago even, it took two people just to put the
trans on the work bench & that was a 4 spd not 5,6 or 7

The only way you would need a band, is if the spot welds
broke on the ends

On a ford or dodge diesel, your best to highly modify the trans,
as they can't take the torque of a diesel, if you have large tires,
or tow

SOURCE: ran out of diesel on

Crack the in line at the injector pump and bemp the motor. This will run the lift pump for 20 seconds or so. DO NOT CRANK THE MOTOR! Cranking the motor with no fuel to the injector pump WILL BURN OUT THE PUMP! Continue to bump the motor until you get fuel at the injector pump. Allow for the LP pump to stop running in between bumps. Once you have fuel at the injector pump, crack the #1,3 and 4 injectors. Crank the motor in 10 second intervals, allowing 10 min. or so between cranks to let the injector pump cool. When the motor starts close the injectors and let it run to finish bleeding out the system. The bleed process is easier with two people. You'll lose less preciouse diesel that way.

There should be 2 plugs in the trans - one for drain and one to fill. Just make sure you use the correct fluid - chack with your dealer.

SOURCE: can i change my automatic transmission to a

sure it's possible

BUT you'll need to change a few other things like the differential the computer the wiring
if your an expert with a lot of time to kill and a TON of spare cash you can do it

otherwise you'll save yourself thousands by just trading it in for a stick shift model

SOURCE: Trouble code P1740 on 1999 Dodge Ram 2500

I had the same code on my 2001 dodge 2500. The truck wouldn't shift from 3-4. I pulled the trans pan off and replaced a broken spring ($2.00). It is behind a thin plate with 3-4 small torq screws. You don't have to remove the valvebody. Only took me 45 minutes to fix.

I would like to give thanks to Jeff Russel from Teal automotive. He said this is a very common problem. He sells any part for any automatic Transmision and his prices are very affordable.
Here is a link to the website.

Hope this helps.

Dodge cummins tow haul stays on

Hi, I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500, 5.9 Cummins with 225,000 miles. Just today, my Haul/Tow keeps coming on and Trans/Temp light. Keeps automatically switching in and out on its own. It's been 100,000 miles since my last trans maintenance. Going to a mechanic close and he suggested to start with fluid change, filter change, and inspect the band, maybe adjust. Trans runs very smoothly. Checked the fluid, looks clean and not hot. Is this common with this year and mileage? If so, whats normally the out come? If the band is bad, do I have to replace the entire trans?

Will my 2004 heavy duty 3/4 ton with a cummins diesel engine, 6 speed standard transmission tow a travel trailer that weighs 14,000 lbs???

The maximum towing capacity of 13,750 and you should not exceed what the manufacturer recommends as you can cause serious harm to your vehicle, yourself, and / or others.

When considering the maximum towing capacity, you also have to consider passenger weight, luggage, etc as all this will reduce the overall capacity... I.e. if you've got 1000lbs in the trunk and 3 passengers plus the driver, your capacity has already dropped to around 12,000
