I have a 1995 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.2L(318) and it is in limp mode. I washed the truck after i took it off-road. I didn't wash it till a day after i went wheeling. i cleaned the terminals, changed the tp sensor, and checked the other sensors that i can see. what can it possibly be?

 

Describe what you mean by limp mode.
Mine went into limp mode when I didn't get the speedo gear back in right.

 

I take my truck off roading and it was fine for a couple days after i went out one day. after i wash the truck, it will not shift. its weird. it will not shift out of first gear.

 

i don't know if this applies to your 95 or not, but my old chevy used to not shift whenever the vac line to the transmission was off or leaking.

 

Start checking your linkage and connectors on your tranny and t-case.

 

Sounds like the speed sensor on the TC.

 

the speed sensor on the transfer case can make it not shift? thats a first ill try that.

 

Yup, Make sure the wire didn't pop off or the connection is not corroded.

 

could also be the govenor pressure solenoid or the transducer...mine went into limp home mode and I replaced those to fix it.

 

i just replaced the speed sensor and checked the wires. that did not fix the problem. i thought it was the govenor pressure solenoid also just didnt change it. i dont know were to order one from and i dont want to go to the dealer and get it.
