2001 Dodge Ram Transmissions

[RjCoats]

Hey all.
Im new to this forum.
I'd like to know from someone who has knowlege (or maybe a consumer reports book right next to them)..
About the transmissions in a 2001 Dodge Ram Laramie, 5.2 litre engine.

Ive not had any trouble yet. But from past experience, Dodge Transmissions are primarily the first thing to go. I still love the Dodge.

Its a 2001 with 21000 miles on it. Low milage.

Just want an idea of what to expect.

Thanks in advance.

Mine just turned 42 k and I have been lucky so far ( knock on wood ) . I bouhgt it in April with 26k . Its a ram 1500 super cab . I am having some vibration with the rear end and am lokoing into that as we speak . Its going back in next week as i think it may need a rebuild . Not sure but i will let you know .

Yea, I have a 2001 1\2 ton that just turned 48,000 miles and I just fried my 3rd tranny. The first one was overhauled at 12,000 so you're lucky. If you do any kind of 4-wheeling, expect to have tranny problems in your dodge truck.
