So my tranny won't go to 4th gear. I have no clue about transmissions. Also when I just slowly press the gas it acts like it ain't getting enough fuel to the engine. Help I am worried my truck is going to fall apart.

mine does the same thing when its cold out if its cold where you are then maybe the same as mine. I just plugged it in for an hour and tada there was fourth gear again. Kinda dumb but it worked

I am in Texas it is not cold at all. Even when I drive it for a period of time it still won't ever change gears. 1st, 2nd and 3rd change fine just won't ever go to 4th anymore.

sounds like a bad solenoid. my truck wont go into overdrive when its cold either, its the same with every other dodge truck tranny. the fluid is too thick or something. when was the last time you serviced the tranny?

the 4bt only has like 140hp and 300 ftlbs of torque so the tranny and diffs will be fine with it.
