I have a 97 Ram 1500 5.9 Auto. My engine like, runs out of steam at 45-50 unless i gass it.
I actually think it's the TC locking that's causing the problem, to me it feels like it's locking too early, is that possible? It'll get to around 45-50 and then the rpms will drop to 1250rpm from like 2k and the truck will seem like it's struggling and then if i gas it'll downshift [or unlock?] and rev back up and accelerate.
After 50 - 55 it cruises fine, maybe allabiet a little vibration, but at 50 it feels like it's got no more motor!
I just had the bands adjusted and the fluid flushed and i know it's full.
The TV cable seems to be in perfect adjustment.
Oh and I tested the TPS voltage, and it's .6V at idle. I was thinking about replacing it. But i'm not sure if that'll do it.
Please, i really need some help with this, it makes it near impossible to cruise around 45 - 50.
