so i picked up the truck after 3 weeks and 2 days and it was running just fine about 8 miles home down a main city road, 45MPH. Taking it easy, as if i had just experienced a trans failure...
reverse into my driveway, Hard shift to Reverse, clunk into park.
Thought it was just learning shifts.
10 minutes later, i leave to head to work. I made it about quarter mile with slow acceleration at neighborhood speeds, and once it shifted into 4th, it stayed there.... :doh:
I noticed the truck felt like it wasnt moving very fast with the pedal application, so i clicked the gear select and it displayed 4th...tried to select 6 and no response. Tried to shift down to 3rd, no response..... pulled over and went into park...shifted to drive, and the truck feels like its lugging, Still displays 4th and shows 4th as the only selectable gear. cant go to 6th and cant go to 1st gear.
With throttle application, i can tell its actually lugging about in 4th...doesnt feel like anything is slipping, just feels like its actually stuck in 4th..
no check engine lights. Restarting did not help.
is this a limp mode?
warranty work showed new bypass valve, torque converter, and other internals and fluids.
$1500 in parts and $1500 in labor.
i hope i get a reman or new unit next, how am i suppose to trust a dealer tech who possibly botched the first fix?
