Back to the 66rfe, not much out there regarding sprag failures. Dealer says not common and dealer who did repair had not seen this type of failure. Checked with some after market trans experts. Sprag failure rare at best. One trans guy works on BP trucks and they are abused out in the desert along t...

PWJouster, thanks for the info!! And I agree, a kickass truck with a time bomb in it and I am very wary of its reliablity. This failure was like flipping a switch, no warning, no noise, no slippage, temp at 168 degrees, worked great then it didnt work at all..... Glad I didnt have a trailer on it!. ...

Thanks for the info! Trucks been in the shop all week. Apparently the overdrive clutch failed. Gotta go get it tomorrow and waste 12 hours driving to vegas and back. Perhaps I will go for a ride in a new one!!

Of course now...... trans failed at 24,000 on a road trip. Had to leave at dealership in las vegas and keep going in rental. Lost all forward gears with no warning. Under warranty but......rather disappointing I must say!!! Perhaps the 8 speed in the 20 model is better. Anyone have good luck with th...

Obviously it took a while but No resolution from Chrysler. Noise got louder and quite obnoxious. Sold truck bought new power wagon. Noise gone.

AWST1230, and everyone else, thank you for your input as I have been pulling my hair out for about 12,000 miles. At least your dealer put some time into it! My dealer trani guy won't even call it a problem!! Says normal operation returned vehicle to owner. I'm scheduling a third visit next week to d...

I had a 2004 ram 1500 before my PW. I was driving down road and then bam!!!! MIL on, bell singing, no turnsignals, dome light came on , brake lights and turn signals quit, random warning and indicator lights came on and a few other electrical oddities as I drove. No performance issue. Turned out the...

Hmmmm I don't like the sound of"characteristic of the model"...... transmissions should not make noise, and even more curious, why does it go away by moving the shift lever??... perhaps we will never know, unless of course the trani grenades!! I must say it is a bit unnerving to listen to and hope i...

I saw that post. I think my issue is different. The noise I hear, although louder when cold, is present all the time at cruising speeds light throttle.

I have a similar noise which is louder when cold but is present all the time. Mostly in 5th 6th gear most noticeable at 55 mph light throttle. See my post noise in 66rfe transmission. Dealer trans guy says normal yet it has gotten worse with higher miles, 17000, and i can hear it occasionally in low...

Has anyone discovered or had issues w a noise in the 66rfe transmission? Started out as high pitch almost like wind noise at 60 mph and above. Light throttle/cruise. Goes away when shifted to neutral. Even more specific, noise goes away when gear shift lever is moved slightly upward. Noticed at abou...
