I have a 91 that did the same thing. It seemed like it was stuck in high gear. I couldn't give it much gas at slow speeds and had to gradually get up to speed. While you are driving down the road and it seems stuck in high gear, turn the truck off and start it again and see if it staightens up. I had to replace the torque converter lock out solenoid. Sounds complicated but it wasn't. the part was about 20-25 bucks from the dealer and i did it myself. First time working on any transmission stuff.

When you accelerate in a car why does the car change quickly between gears?

If it is an automatic transmission, the speed of the engine (in rpm) is what makes the gears change. Accelerate too much and it will fly up through the gearbox when it is not supposed to. If it is a manual transmission, the gears shouldn't change without the clutch being depressed and you manually changing gear; at most, it will simply disengage and cease turning the wheels.

2002 dodge ram 1500 why lamp out warning indicator on but no lamp is out?

The only explanation I can find is if you shift too quickly to DRIVE, the flicker of the reverse lights sends a false reading to the computer. It usually resets itself if you shut off the truck, restart it and move the shift lever down thru the gears slowly. Now can someone tell me how to replace the foglights in these trucks?
