Problem overview

Some Ram 2500 owners report experiencing persistent hard shuttering under load, which can be challenging to diagnose even with advanced tools. These issues may indicate potential transmission problems, as many owners have noted shuddering during acceleration. Additionally, engine performance issues, particularly under heavy load, could contribute to the shuttering sensation. Regular maintenance of transmission fluid and filters is essential, as neglecting this can exacerbate the problem. Some owners also suggest that the symptoms may be linked to torque converter issues, requiring specialized diagnostics. Given the complexity of these concerns, seeking a second opinion from a trusted mechanic with experience in Ram trucks is advisable to explore transmission or engine-related causes and ensure proper maintenance.
