A while back posted about oil pressure gauge on this Dodge I was trying out. Well I have pretty much decided against this truck because I think it has tranny problems. Occasionally when I would take off from a stop it would rev and then the tranny would grab. Decided that may be something more than I want to deal with. So thanks for everyone's advice on this truck. Think I am just gonna keep my 1999 F150 for now.
 
Oil pressure gauges go bad on those trucks. I have an 88 Dakota, a 90 250 and a 2004 2500 and have replaced gauges on all of them. Fuel gauge spotty on all of them. odometer on the 90 bad. Can't keep an EGR in the 2004 functional.

I have manuals. 90s been rebuilt but is noisy. I have had company automatics, 94 and a 2000. It wasn't the trannie as much as the torque converters that were the problem.

No matter what you get, they all have their quirks. The Chevy Duramax had electrical issues (great engine and the Eaton was great, fuel mileage poor). Depending on the year Ford, there are a myriad of issues.

Choose your poison.
 
There is a plastic valve body in some Chrysler Automatics that swell up and cause that issue. Relatively simple fix by replacing solenoid valves. Have to drop the pan, but no major job. Have an '06 that had that issue.
