Transmission trouble
4.25 out of 5 starsWalnut Willie, 10/11/2002
1994 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 ST 2dr Regular Cab 4WD LB (5.2L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
This has been a reliable vehicle except
for one problem which was fixed by a
recall, & that was that Dodge had
teflon fittings on the automatic
transmission oil lines and once when
hot they got soft and blew off losing
all the transmission fluid and leaving
me stranded 20 miles from nowhere.
I fought with dodge over this poor
design and eventually they had a recall …
and put on steel fittings. Also the
paint is all peeling off now and I am
going to have it repainted. Otherwise I
love this truck and plan to keep it
another 10 years. I have the 5.9
engine.
Awesome Engine..Crappy Brakes Tranny

1994 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 LT 2dr Regular Cab LB (5.2L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Initially we were very pleased with the
truck. Our first problem occured a
couple of weeks after taking it home.
The transmission valve body went out.
Dodge replaced it under warranty no
sweat. The brake rotors, calipers and
front hubs were next. All needed to be
replaced due to excessive wear because
the r/f caliper would bind (a common
ailment with "floating" … calipers).
The truck's saving grace is the 5.9L
Cummins Diesel. Yes it is loud, but it
will pull anything, anywhere, anytime.
If I had it to do over again, I would
buy the 5 speed.

1994 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 LT 2dr Regular Cab 4WD LB (5.2L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I bought my Dodge when it had 215,000 miles on it. I picked it up cheap and had to fix a problem with the headlights. After that, I have had minimal problems with her. I've fixed a pulley and the clear coat has come off in big patches, but I love my truck. It sits up high and is comfortable for a woman to drive, as well as my 6'3" boyfriend. I plan on driving this pickup to the … 300,000 mark. Despite the warnings, there has never been a tranny problem in this truck.

This truck has performed well over 8 years. I pull a 10000 lb trailer and haved pulled mostly in overdrive with no problems.
