if ya have to ask...you don't! take it to a tranny shop where any adjustments possible will be cheaper than having them replace the whole thing after you mess it up.

There where 4 different transmissions used by Dodge in 1500 series trucks that year! Do you know which one you have? Is the truck 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive? Engine size?

There is a procedure in the shop manual for adjusting the bands. It has to do with backing off a retaining nut, tightening the bolt to some specified torque value, and then backing it out a specified number of turns. There are two bands, one can be adjusted from outside the transmission, and I believe that you need to drop the pan to access the other one.
I don't have the shop manual handy, but it's in there.
This is for the 1999 46RE transmission.

Transmission shop will adjust them. Usually they are not ment to be adjusted. Transmission work is a black art and should not be attempted by anyone who does not have 100% confidence and knowledge of the topic. I work in a garage, and even the most skilled technicians I know, will send the vehicle, or the transmission out to a transmission shop for repair. Its not an easy fix. Take it to a transmission shop and have them diagnose it first, to see, if infact, what you are saying is the actual problem. I'm not saying it to be rude, I'm saying this because I know just how hard transmission work is, and how much it can cost if something goes wrong, and without 100% confindance and knowledge, something will go wrong.

trust me take it to a shop if i have no clue don't touch it they are so complicated
and if its a 2001 it should not need to be tighten, what probably needs to be done is regular maintenance every 48,000 or 2 years you should flush that transmission if u don't you are screwd and will have trouble the rest of your life
and if you have flushed it make sure there is the proper mopar atf in there if u got it done at a lube shop make sure they used a mopar atf or threw in the 7176A additive

Frankly, you don't adjust bands. They are pumps. Don't try it...............really.
