Looking for some help with getting my truck back up and running. I have searched for the last couple of days and haven't had any luck.
A little back story on the truck. 2002 2500 v10 auto 4x4. I bought it a couple months ago and it shifted pretty good. Shifts kinda hard and at low throttle you have to let off the gas to get it to shift. (My thoughts were a possible shift kit). We put it on the lift and adjusted the bands, and that didn't help. But the truck still got down the road fine.
So when I got the truck the steering column was trashed. The ignition switch/lock and tumble were missing. The PO had crudely wired in a toggle switch and starter button.
I purchased a used column that was complete from the junk yard and used it to replace the ignition switch, turn signal switch, and steering wheel. I re-wired everything under the column that had been cut. Making sure all the wires were color coordinated.
Truck fired right up and the ABS light came on immediately, and the speedometer quit working. Now the truck will not shift out of 1st gear. I checked for codes and get nothing. I replaced the rear speed sensor on the rear axle and the truck still doesn't shift.
Any idea on what I could be missing?
