Yeah cleaning all the grounds is good start. My buddy built the transmission in his 06 with parts from these guys. He was super happy with the customer service. He said the owner helped him a ton and was great to talk with. https://goerend.com/
Fingers crossed right now hoping the trans is ok. Doesnt seem to slip, just doesnt catch gears right. If you put it in drive, you have 3rd gear. No first etc.
If you go to 2nd on the selector, theres 2nd. Also 1st manually. Pulls strong in the gears if shifted manually, so maybe ECM/shift solenoid, or maybe just chitty connectors.
Its doing other things that point to the ECM. Sometimes loses throttle. Just goes to idle. Tap the accelerator a couple times and it comes back.

lol screw the heat
Agreed. Wiring is chit.
Front ends are chit.
Transmissions were starting to get better by this ones time, but still not great.
my buddy bought a 05 2500 cummins needing a transmission
junkyards want 1500 plus the old one
for 1500 a person could rebuild one but his is missing the valve body assembly and tv box that sits on the shift arm
theres 400 bucks
only thing dodge has is the cummins
rest of it is junk and high priced

My father had a clean 06 commonrail up until recently. Damn thing broke down every other week it seemed like. He got fed up with constantly putting money into the thing and traded it in on a new hemi 2500

I hear ya there.
Only reason I'm messing with this one is it was CHEAP.
Think they gave him $2,500 for it. Could sell it now for the motor and come out ahead.
Hannah wants to fix it because it was her dad's. He passed away about a year and a half ago.
I get that, but if its gonna be a money pit, they would be better putting money into something better. Like a Ferd thats already had the head studs, EGR, and the FICM done on it. Those are solid, once that gets done.
