Phil, I am not sure about the details, but it sounds as if your truck has the &quot;limp mode&quot; problem. I think that the fix is a resistor in the signal line. Someone will chime in here, I am sure.<br>george

If its stock and you have a stock tranny you are in limp mode caused by many things, have to get it looked at and determine the problem driving in limp mode will surely screw the tranny.

Deezilla, sounds like the limp mode. Don't try to tow with it while in limp mode. Converter lockup doesn't happen in limp mode. There should be somes codes to indicate what is wrong. It may have a bad electronic governor in it. Electronics tend to go bad in the first 1000 miles most times. Since you have less than 1000 miles on it they shouldn't give you any flack. <br><br>Sorry you're having this problem. Electronics are great when they work right. ???
