The truck drives well but because it wont up shift into 4th and o/d it tachs aroung 2600 rpms @ 55 mph 3100 @ 60mph. I know I need to have it rebuilt what I am wondering is am I better off with a Jasper or shoould I just use a local trans shop? the truck sits around a lot mostly get used on weekends. It has 160 k miles I bought it with 158k miles I heard 98 rams are famous for trans problems. wish I heard this b4 i bought it lol

upsguy; This is a personal opinion, and not that of CarJunky. Jasper has 'great' warranties. Until you need it. I won't sell another Jasper engine or trans. due to their poor customer service when we needed it. The problem is, finding a reputable shop that will back up their warranty. Price should not be a major consideration, as this is going to be expensive no matter whom you choose. From personal experience, I'd recommend staying away from the 'chain' transmission shops. Check with friends, the Better Business Bureau, ect. Find an independent that has a good reputation, one that will take care of you if you have a problem. That is more important than price. Yes, the transmission is one of Dodge's weak points. I own two.
