The 2005 Ram 2500 does not have any current transmission recalls, but there are a few technical service bulletins that address ongoing issues. Specifically, TSB 21-009-07 and TSB 21-015-05 pertain to this model. One relates to a problem with the governor pressure solenoid valve on the 48RE transmission (found in the high-output Diesel version), while the other points to issues with the transmission cooler filter on the 545RFE. While these problems may not affect every vehicle, potential buyers of a used vehicle without these repairs should exercise caution. These issues, while not overly severe, can lead to slippage between first and second gear and delayed gear engagement. Consider looking at similar model years such as 2008-2010, which do not have any current TSBs related to the transmission.
