Why does a 2008 dodge ram 5500 CUMMINS automatic Transmition get hot when i use my ac when the weather is hot outside

It sounds like maybe the torque converter might not be fully seated into the trans, try taking it out and re install and turn the converter clockwise then counterclockwise while keeping pressure on the front of the conv. until you feel three little clicks or thuds. When it is fully seated you should barely be able to get your fingers between the the bell housing and the converter. while you have the converter out check the front pump seal again for damage if it looks chewed replace it put some trans fluid on the hub that goes into trans, the shiney part then slide it in. Hope that helps also when installing the trans make sure you tighten the bellhousing bolts first then do the torque converter bolts, that way you won't accidently unseat the conv. You have to turn the flywheel to get to all the bolts make sure everything is tight and good luck.

Hello mhak330: My name is Roger and I can give you the answer to your question. Locate the ECM on the drivers side of the engine.look for the bottom bolt holding the ECM. To the right of the bolt you should see the oil pressure sender unit. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the quality of your answer. This way we know you received helpful information. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

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.

It won't hurt anything,so long as the oil is a little
thicker for hot weather use. Not 100% sure about
those grade of oils, but so long as it's a quality synthetic oil, I wouldn't worry about it.
