Anyone else have transmission problems with the 3500 diesel? Bought the truck last weekend. Transmission blew today. Less than 350 miles on it. First problem we have had in 20+ years of Dodge ownership

Yes the 8 speed, I believe. We were only going about 35MPH when it went. Rural road.
 
That sux. Hopefully the process getting it fixed goes quickly. Welcome aboard
 
I have not heard too much about the 8 speed behind the Cummins having issues with that low of mileage.

Obviously something didn't go right with the mechanical build of that particular unit.
 
Update. I got my truck back. Dealer is saying a loose transmission hose. (???) we will see. The noise we thought was a transmission grining itself to death was a tranny fluid pump, so they say.. )(??) so I guess it’s under warranty and if anyone else has probs we have it documented here.. thanks all and I really do love Ram trucks, this one gave me problems… and heart burn.. haha

Very weird you did not see the oil leaking out.
