Check the linkage. If it's good your getting due for some tranny work.
The transmission
You are probably low on transmission fluids
truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
No it will not. Sounds like the transmission has a major problem.
If the truck is a 4 wheel drive it would be easier to remove the engine to replace the flywheel. If the truck is a 2 wheel drive removing the transmission and bell housing is the way to go.
a transmission problem
Yes, a 4x4 truck can have a manual transmission, now if the question is if the Dodge Ram 4x4 is available with a manual transmission, I don't know.
A/T the same place you check it. Manual transmission, on the upper side of the transmission under the truck.A/T the same place you check it. Manual transmission, on the upper side of the transmission under the truck.
yup
It's probably the transmission, either the valve body or the clutch pack. Either way, it means a rebuild of the transmission.
Turn 4WD off. Put transmission in reverse and back up a few feet. Return transmission to drive. If this does not work then something is not right and you should probably take it to a shop.
