Dodge Ram Won’t Move In Any Gear

Once a hydraulic component fails, you’re done. Its no a loud or hard grind, just enough to rattle the pedel, and you can feel it in your foot… If it’s not engaging try looking into the transfer case if there is fluid. Thanks…My truck was built in February 2019 so you’d think they would have made these updates during production. I also do not have any dashboard codes illuminated.

This includes the transmission cooler lines running forward to the radiator. If a leak if difficult to find, a fluorescent dye can be added. Light is shined on the leak, the dyed fluid will glow. Transmissions contain many moving parts that move fluid throughout the system. Gears are selected and released by servos and solenoids to select your desired gear ratio. Like the engine, transmissions require periodic maintenance for trouble-free operation.

Put in Drive and truck doesn’t move

I checked the fluid, and it looked fine. Nothing is worse than sitting in a vehicle that’s stuck in park. The engine is running fine, but the shifter just won’t move. There are several things you can try to get your Dodge Ram moving now. These include checking to see if the parking brake is stuck, finding the shift lock solenoid override , and the shift linkage. I had a 75 Chebby K10 years ago, when the throwout bearing went bad it never made a sound, until it locked up.

Good luck and keep us posted with what you find. FWIW-I had a Ford 1 ton lock up on me going across a causeway with no where to pull over for almost a mile. It was on fire by the time I got pulled over. Fortunately, there was lots of water to be had. Turned out being a broken brake caliper that collapsed somehow and locked up a front wheel. Had the issue also, driving down the freeway, hit a pot hole, and the engine just reved up like it was in neutral.

My 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 will start up and run but when shifting into drive every gear feels like the truck is in neutral. I was driving the truck and the gears seemed to go out with no hard shifting … I drove it this morning without any issue. A few hours later I get in, start it up just fine, shifted into reverse just fine, then nothing.

They can provide valuable insight as to what the problem may be, and really help you narrow down the problem. The magnet has a lot of metallic on it- looks like it has hair. Much more than you’d typically find on a service. Pretty sure we’ve got mechanical damage. I need a little input on whether or not there is a real repair for this problem… About 5 out of 10 times i put this truck in Drive, it does NOTHING.
