No lock in second gear? That seems like bad design to me.
Bad design? It's in a truck that is old enough to have it's own driver's license and based on a transmission that is almost old enough to join AARP.
Not a bad design, just old technology. It's actually a great design, just a bad application by Dodge to use that trans in the 21st century!
(Since you're not saavy with this, the 47/48re transmissions are still the preferred units for extreme loads like drag racing and truck pulls. Just not a good on the road application based on the current technology available in the early 2000s.)
