2013 Ram stalling from drive to reverse

[Charles/ Mike Cook]

Has anyone had this problem?
Mine started staling when I go from drive to reverse. It’s happening daily. Any help or advice on this is welcome. Thanks in advance.

My 12 with a 4.7 and 150k does the opposite.
I back outta the driveway in the morning and when I go to go forward it'll do that.
Not every day, and only the first time I get in it for the day. It's been a couple of weeks since the last time but when it's in its mood it does it a few days in a row. Then might not do it for a month

I’m thinking it’s fuel related.
Really not sure.

As long as it starts right back up I ain't worried about it at the moment.

 

[Charles/ Mike Cook]

Me too. Lol

It could be your torque converter locking up in reverse It happens on the jeeps

I have been told this by someone else that owns a Ram.
He had the same issue. Thanks for replying.

If it were old school I would be looking for a vacuum leak. This new stuff its a process of elimination. Everything is controlled electronically somehow.

All the time or just when you first start it and it's cold?

 

[Charles/ Mike Cook]

It comes and goes. Won’t do it for a day or two and then two to three times a day. It kinda stumble’s right when it’s going to shut off. Very weird.

 

[MILO]

Does it give a jerk before it stalls

 

[Charles/ Mike Cook]

Yep, more of a loss of power stumble

 

[Charles/ Mike Cook]

I can feel it is what I’m trying to say. It’s not a smooth cut off.

 

[MILO]

When torque converter locks you will get a abrupt stall

 

[Charles/ Mike Cook]

That’s what I’m thinking. If I pull the transmission for a torque converter I might as well have the transmission rebuilt. Crap.

Update
Found the problem.
Turned out to be a module in the transmission pan. The module was defected and it was causing the torque converter to lock up and stall the engine. Hope this helps someone else that experience this problem.

 

[Charles/ Mike Cook]

Two new filters and fluid and module and gasket and I was back on the road.

Was this module something that had to come from the stealer? What's it called
Where's it mounted within? How much else had to come apart to get at it
