2500 w/5.9 Cummins diesel. Why is shifting erratic?

Replaced ECM. When driving the transmission will not go into overdrive when pulling long hills or when I accelerate to try and pass. IT does work right when starting off at speeds up to 40 mph

Although you didn't mention it, the speedometer probably bounces also. Replacing the speed sensor on the side of the transmission should solve both your problems. Good luck

03 dodge ram 2500 diesel automatic. Shifts erratically from time
Sounds like solenoid failing . Most of the time when solenoid fails it won't show on the code reader. U can read them with special scanner, but only if you know the proper numbers that will show when u read them. Most good transmission shops, have that tool and they can read it for u.

1996 dodge ram 2500 auto transmission not shifting properly
Well, first do the service. Pull the pan down and look for metal shavings. If there is metal shavings your in for a transmission. If not, you may have a problem with one of the transmissions shift solenoids located near the valve body.
P.S. The Duramax has the Allison 1000 transmission not the dodge cummins and they are one of the best trannys on the market.

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.
