Issues
Thanks for reading and your help!
I have a 2005 Ram 2500 5.9 cummins Automatic tranny. Within the last week, I started having some issues. When I come to a complete stop while in drive, the truck tries to pull away. There is also a bit of black exhaust when this is going on. If I hold the brake and shift to neutral, the rpms shoot up to around 2000-2500 then back to idle. I thought it was a tranny issue so I took it to a tranny shop here in Alaska and they told me it was an injector pump issue. Has anyone had this same problem before? Any ideas? Thank you

He is saying your Torque Converter is locking up. Find a different tranny shop.
Just back from another Alaska trip. Back to morning brew . . .

Your torque converter is designed to keep the truck from moving forward up to a certain RPM. Stock is around 1800 RPM. If you're at idle and your engine speed is over 1800-1900 RPM, your truck is gonna creep forward. I think this is what you're feeling. If your idle is high in park or in neutral (as you said it was), you have a problem with your engine that is causing the high RPMs. Your tranny guy may be on the right track.

Still sounds like a torque converter issue. The engines torque managment is trying to keep it from stalling out and when you shift to nuetral, it takes a second to come back to normal idle.
