Without a code to work with i know those trucks had a problem with the t.p.s. sensor . This will also cause erratic shifting of the transmission

depending on the code giving by the pcm is how you approach the diagnosis but in general the computer pulse width controls the field circuit in the alternator. #1 check for battery voltage at alt larger wire and then test for power at the two rear small wires remove control wire from back of alt then place jumper wire from alt terminal to ground monetarily is should charge if not alt is bad. if does you have a broken wire to pcm.

The bottom latch was rusted locked. I had to pull on bottom rod after top was already released and kick out the bottom of the door. I had to replace the bottom latch.

I hate to do it, but have to ask, who did the install? Chyslers have that floating ground set-up that has thrown even the best install guys into a fit. When I was doing them, I overcame that with aftermarket installs by running my own separate wires to speakers, and back to stereo. There are adapter plugs that are good for that available too.

if its not your fuel pump!! is it getting any gas, if its getting gas, then it could be crank sensor or cam sensor. check for spark also!!

the first thing to do is make sure the fluid level is ok then take it to a tranny specialist for help if the level is ok

This is probably a good guess. Get a vaccum gauge and poke around. If it truly is no vaccum going into the cab, find a source and hook it up. See if that fixes the problem. Doug

Is it running hot? (burning coolant caused by internal engine damage) (Any white clouds of exhaust) check the cooling system level & the coolant sensor readings. Have emissions checked & ECM scanned for codes

Check the spark plug wire and spark plug on #8!

possible worn suspension rubber mounts, worn tie rod ends take it to a suspension specialist shop for a check of the front end

Good luck. Go to www.LKQ.com and submit a request for a quote on the transmission that you are needing. They may ship it to you. I am not sure if they will, but for the right price it could be done, I am sure.
