98 Dodge Ram 1500

Another question; When my truck sits for 3-4 days,when shifted into drive or reverse,it doesnt move.Once it has warmed up for a few minutes it will.
What could this be? I have changed the fluid and the screen/filter last year..

sounds mostly like its low on fluid. if not, plan on a rebuild.

Thanks. Seems its one thing after another..might be time to be looking at a new truck.

Thinking about getting a cleaning fluid or solution to clean the throttle body on my"goat' What do you think about "Snake oil' or something like that. Just dont know that that is the right name of the cleaner..comes with a sponge head(mop) to clean the ports.
