"Bump" when truck downshifts into 1st gear.

[mbridge1]

Does anyone else experience an intermittent "bump" or "thud" when the truck downshifts into first gear? It seems to only happen about 50% of the time. It also almost feels like it lurches the truck forward as well.

There are several threads on this -- My '22 Limited does this as well. This is my fourth Ram with the 8 speed and this the first one to do this. I'm curious to see what the solution is.

Experienced the "down shift" on a test drive back in 2018.

Never experienced this. Maybe it was something that was corrected in later model years.
Faintly remember, it was the torque converter disengaging???

I had this problem on my 2019 limited. If I remember correctly it was a common issue discussed on this forum. Dealer did a flash of something and I haven't had the problem since.

Not just on older model years- mine's a '22.
