RAM RHO Transmission Issue

[itsmekylep]

I wonder if it would still hang if you were using the paddle shifters?

It doesn’t. I went strait to paddles and shifted a little early and it was fine. But still feels “off” hard to explain.

I really don’t understand how there are so many issues with these trucks.

opted for the RHO over raptor because I wanted to try a ram and had a raptor years ago. Always thought rams looked sharp and the trx had a ton of success. So far it’s been a roller coaster of emotions haha.

This issue might be self inflicted.

DCook when you say "bogged" do you mean around 6k like its hitting the rev limiter?​

I tried and yes it did hung. I’m starting to think lifting these is the culprit.

Exactly. That’s a better explanation, it was slow to shift.

Even cruising a little “aggressive” it still seems confused at times when shifting.

I wonder if it is the lift? Have you guys tried going back to stock to see if it fixes it? Maybe it messes with sensors? I am grasping here, and either way this is bs with a new $80k truck.

I’m thinking it might be. I’m going to try a few things first. The leveling kit isn’t an easy install/removal

That’s what I had suggested as well. Heck there have been height sensors for a LONG time in cars to adjust, adapt etc for a lot of things and with a whole new electrical architecture, it could be affecting the trans someway too.

Everytime I’ve lowered a car, I have had to get adapters to put the sensors back at the “right” height.

It may not be related but it also seems that it is.

I think I’ll have the dealer do a ride height calibration on Monday and see what happens.

Keep us all posted. Hope it goes well.

Yes and than just dies off ofcourse if I just let out it shifts and all is fine

Same

I am going to try it on a down hill slope , obviously at wot we are lifting the front with force plus the lift , but look forward to your experience with ride height calibration

Worth a shot.

Finally an update on my truck! It’s been at the dealer for almost three months with the same issue as @Elonmsk. Like I said in my earlier posts I seen a correlation with the taller springs and this issue we’re all having. I told the service manager then and finally Friday they returned it back to stock height with the stock springs and Truck is fixed! They tried a ride height calibration with the taller springs and it wouldn’t work for some reason. Have them asking the tech advisor if there’s a work around cause I really like the look of it leveled out. Supposed to pick it up tomorrow so we’ll see. Just bummed that we can’t level these trucks without a shifting issue. I have new wheels and 37’s waiting for it. Not sure they’ll fit now.

That sucks. I don’t want to take mine off. It looks so much better leveled. There’s a vendor on Facebook that was having the issue after installing ADS suspension, but he said it started shifting normal. So who knows. Just curious how many labor hours did they charge you to remove?

My dealer performed a ride height calibration as well. The calibration worked fine, but didn’t solve the issue.

They didn’t charge me anything to remove them. I’ve been asking if they think it could be the issue since I dropped it off and they said it wasn’t. So they removed them and reinstalled the stock springs at no cost. I’m with you on the springs man. I need to figure out how to get these springs back on without the shifting issue. Hopefully someone figures out a fix soon!
