Auto Parts: Manual Valve Body, manual valve body, dodge ram 2500

Question
Hi! I am wondering where I can find a site on the internet that sells manual valve
bodies for a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD. Right now I cant dyno it correctly
because it always downshifts into 2nd. Thanks!

Answer
Hi Hudson,

You may be in search of a Unicorn.

MOPAR transmissions haven't had 'valve bodies' since the late 80's. Well, none that would be able to be retro-ed over to manual anyway.

In order to 'control' the shift pattern of your truck, you're going to need to obtain a programmable PCM and a DRB programmer.

Sorry dude, I too wish it was as easy as it was in the 60's but times change.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
