[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 1129328, member: 13181"] Listen to Nesikip,,,,,There should be a main shaft replacement for the tranny. I had a 97 with the same issues , I ran hot shot with it and replaced the nut/5th gear fix 5 times in 200k. DO NOT tack weld the nut, it will cause the mainshaft to snap. You can "stake" the nut with a center punch, but this will not stop it. I did a Allison tranny swap before the mainshaft fix came out. It basically converts the Dodge to the GM style NV4500. Unless you are pulling heavy all the time you need to think about this. Jake brakes are hard on the motor and increase fuel consumption. Brake pads and shoes are cheap. 25 years ago, that was something I was taught by an Over The Road trucking company and has stuck with me over the years. Jakes have their place, no doubt. [/QUOTE]
