Transmission continuously "slips" out of first gear, when attempting to launch after a stop light, or shifting from reverse to first. Following each and every start, the transmission will "slip" out of first gear.

Vehicle has been back to dealer 4 times for transmission problems. Vehicle constantly downshifts. It's a pest control truck and carries chemicals, and can be very dangerous in an accident.

Ram 1500 Diesel

I have owned this truck for less than 1 year and fifth gear has gone out 5 times. I previously had a 1998 Dodge Ram pickup and after fifth gear going out four times I had to replace the whole transmission. My son owns a 1998 Dodge Ram pick up and has had to replace the transmission and fifth gear twice. What is wrong? please help us.
