so was driving around with the ABS/traction control/esp-bas/srv 4wd lights on, now my check engine light comes on, at first no sweat. Next thing I know the thing is jammed in 4th gear and wont come out of it. My freaking dash board is light up like a Christmas tree. So I am visiting the in laws in Pennsylvania and I need to get back to north Carolina. Can't exactly do that with a truck stuck in 4th gear. This will be the 6th time in the past 3 months this truck has been in the shop. Its unbelievable. Ram trucks seem terrible, or maybe its just a lemon who knows. Gonna have to pay for a rental. <sarcasm> what a reliable truck .... </sarcasm>
:wtf:

Any freaking ideas on this one? I have the 4.7l v8... I thought this was a hemi problem?

Well I got home at 2am in an old nissan beater. Thing is a 98 with 150,000 miles on it and more reliable than my 2010 dodge. I take excellent care of it and it doesn't return the favor. Unbelievable.

Sounds to me like the pcm has a glitch in it or the truck needs a new transmission or both.

I would ask the dealer to reflash the pcm just in case.

Also, the fact you have to pay for a rental really stinks. What ever the problem turns out to be it's a manufactures problem not yours.

Anyway good luck with the truck and I hope it's back on the road real soon.
