Six problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
: the contact stated while working on the brake lines, pressure was put on the shifter plate causing the shifter bolts to fracture and the shifter plate to fall off. The contact had the plate redrilled and the bolts replaced. The dealer was alerted. The consumer stated the problem began when the brake lines were replaced.
Transmission was replaced at 14,000 miles, and again at 32,000 miles. Vehicle will not accelerate, and it takes a while to shift to next gear. Dealer hasn't been notified.
Inspected and verified no 5th gear - transmission has no uetrasl where 5th should be - suspect nut and gear backed off - found nut and gear backed off, this has been happening for quiet some time, this information was told us by the dealership that made the repairs and a personal friend that is a mechanic.

Sudden acceleration ; while travelling slowly transmission will disengege from first gear, as accelerator is depressed, transmission will engage suddenly, causing vehicle to lunge forward.
Several components,transmission does not shift properly sounds like driving on small rumble strips at 45, truck wonders aimlessly so much it is difficult to keep from going into oncoming traffic especially if road is a little rough, engine has a constant spark knock, nearly imposible to tow or plow,power steering pump went out while trying to plow for no apparent reason at all. I have talked to mechanics about the sparkknock and recommended burning high octane but the manual suggests it will actually run worse and they are not responable for engine damage from spark knock, wondering was admitted by the service manager and said it is acceptable by Dodge and that's just how they drive, I asked one of the mechanics to look at it before I bought it because I didn't know if maybe I was just used to driving my old one, he said it needed a little time to break-in because it was a 2500 with a heavy duty suspension, it is still the same after almost 11,000 miles.
