OK , you need an independent transmission shop for what ever year this Dodge Ram is. Just don’t use a chain type facility especially AMMCO .

Okayyy… my Crystal Ball says this is a …2003 Ram… 4.7 liter V8… manual transmission… the truck has 254,231 miles on it… and it is silver colored…and RWD

Did I get any of those right? No? None of them??

Wouldn’t it be nice for you to tell us this stuff if you’d like some help?

Is your check engine light on? Anything that robs power from your engine can make it act like this as you transmission downshifts to try and accommodate your throttle opening.
