Ram 1500 1500SLT 5.9L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 74,565 miles

Bought the truck with 100,000 km's. Great gas mileage ~21 mpg. Noticed that as I drive it the RPMs quickly surge up than back down. At the same time the transmission down shifts and than quickly shifts back up. No codes have ever come up. Have taken it into a reputable transmission shop, nothing wrong, doing what the computer is telling it to do. Took it to dodge dealership twice, acknowledged that something occurs, but unable to correct problem. So far spent ~$2500 on fuel pump, injector cleaning, new wiring harness, tune ups, throttle body cleaning...., still no solution.
