Hey guys I'm new to this forum I own a 1996 dodge ram 1500 5.2 single cab it's currently sitting in limp mode I've replaced spark plugs, ignition wires, oil changed including the filter, same with transmission new fluid plus filter, I've replaced the governor solenoid, haven't replaced the distributor cap or the rotor inside trying to stay away from that seeing the location of where it is and how difficult it would be of something broke taking off the old one.... Any suggestions helps out plenty truck won't do anything over 30 mph unless it's a down hill grade but on straight aways it struggles getting up to speed and if you gas it to give it extra it doesn't accelerate at all just revs itself high and almost acts as if it's in neutral cause it doesn't shift out of gear and going up hills it slows down to 20mph sometimes even slower... I don't know much about dodge and neither does my father like I said any suggestions on where to look next would be greatly appreciated

 

Welcome to DF!

Getting any codes? Check engine lite on?

 

Trans overheating?

Check out the check valve delete mod...

If it wasn't for the revving, I'd say your catalytic converter was burned out and clogged.

 

No codes are popping up right now check engine light is off but the truck is still in limp mode won't do anything over 30 mph truck has lost its beastly sounds sounds nothing like it used to the truck has a rough idle at times once I figure out how to post a video up here from my phone I'll try posting a video up so you guys can see what it's sounding like and what it runs like up and down the road....

 

What do you mean by "limp mode"?

 

"Limp mode" truck won't go faster than 30 mph no matter how far down the gas pedal is pushed

 

But you aren't getting any codes?

Reset the pcm. (disconnect the battery, turn on the headlights, turn off the headlights, hook battery back up.) Still the same?

Remove the front O2 sensor from the exhaust. (not just unplug it, physically remove it.) See how it drives.

 

Tried that PCM reset it didn't seem like it did anything.... here's a video I took while out driving the video wouldn't upload from my phone so I uploaded it onto YouTube and here's the URL to my video.....
