2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 review from North America
"This is a reliable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I was recently stranded with a transmission problem, in my 2001 Dodge 1500 318ci.I was traveling about 65 mph when my overdrive kicked out and would not go back. I continued until I was forced to slow because of traffic. After the tranny down shifted into first gear, it would only stay in first. The fluid checked fine, and the truck will shift into park, reverse and drive. I am not so sure this is a transmission problem. Should I start with a mechanic or a transmission shop?
General comments?
This has been a great and trouble free vehicle for 146,000 miles.
