    How's the transmission?
    It's fine, it slips a little bit and leaks.
    so not fine

      Dodge owner here... The one thing I noticed when the guy changed the fluid in the dodge is he never mentioned the bands. Dodge even says in it's manual to adjust the bands every time you change the fluid. The reason why is because the front band is on the side of the housing but the rear is inside the transmisison pan.
      This is one of the major problems with these transmissions. Nobody seems to do this and then when they get loose/wear down from usage the transmission starts slipping or banging into gear.
      That DTS for the torque converter solenoid though... Dodge transmissions are notorious for going through solenoids. There is actually a guide to convert it to use the GM version. These transmissions just have a torque converter solenoid, a OD solenoid, and a transducer because it's just an older transmission converted to electronic control. Another good fix for this is a shift kit which takes no time at all to do. The thing about these transmissions is once you do a shift kit for the valve body and new solenoids it'll be a damn strong transmission.
      I had one in my 96 with a 5.2L. The previous owner did a small shift kit but never adjusted the bands so when it drove it would always do this weird long shift like someone riding the clutch between gears. I fixed that, changed the solenoids while I was in there, the filter, and slapped it back together. It would down shift on demand and go. His shifting issues is also likely due to a sloppy TV cable adjustment too. Dodge still used those on these trucks to make the transmission downshift using hydraulic pressure. These trucks were literally designed so that you can work on them yourself without the need of a computer. The side effect is they require higher than normal maintenance.

      Well you know Dodge owners, always abusing and beating the heck out of their vehicles. Older Silverado owners do it too especially if it is a Z71. They'll thrash it off-road because of the upgraded suspension and locking rear diff and because of this the body will always be beat up which then later causes rust because they neglect to fix it.

    Had a ram like that as a work truck, spent its life towing a trailer full of roof repair supplies; always loved the engine note but that’s about all I can say in favor of it. Engine blew one day ( motor was already from a junkyard who knew it’s previous life) on the highway on the way to the site, hit the shop got a new junkyard engine, that pairing promptly killed the transmission. Put a new (junkyard rebuilt) trans in; engine died a week later. Replaced it with another e series box truck

    Speaking from experience, changing the transmission fluid on an older vehicle with high miles is the automotive equivalent of Russian Roulette, knocking all that old clutch pack material with fresh fluid could cause all kinds of issues. Hopefully it just needs something simple, but unfortunately having been in the exact same spot with both a Dodge and a Ford, you should brace yourselves for a rebuild. I generally don’t change the fluid on automatic transmissions with over 100K miles unless either the fluid is contaminated, or if I’m doing a full valve body service. Because that fresh fluid is going to loosen something up, and it will likely end up in one of the tiny fluid passages.
