Why does my Dodge Ram have a jerky downshift?
Valve bodies won’t fix it, nor will software updates. There is something amiss internally, either a leak or partially plugged gantry. The transmission adapts by increasing pressure, which makes for rough shifts during some gear changes. Some of us suggest a lot of test driving before buying used, don’t let them warm it up.
Why do I get a thud when I downshift?
That joint is dry as a bone and amplifies the the aggressive shifting pattern that is “normal” for the 8 speeds. If you pay attention you’ll notice the “thud” happens most after a hard braking or coming to a stop when the drivetrain is loaded in the opposite direction. When you take off again to accelerate is when you typically feel it.

The killer was when I had the Lonestar loaner with the same 3.92 in it. You could still feel the downshifts but it was a dream to drive (shifting smoothness) compared to mine. Apparently three days of driving wasn’t enough time for it to learn my bad driving habits.
