Default Transmission in stuck in first gear
Will a bad alternator be the cause of a my rebuilt transmission to be stuck in first gear?

Low voltage can cause all sorts of interesting problems..... What year is your truck?

If system voltage is low, need to fix that first before anything else meaningful can be determined.

I just changed the battery for a new one. My next step is to get the alternator tested and or replaced. I changed the ECM already. Transmission is rebuilt also.

Back yard garage, no warranty, and I drove it home maybe 15 to 20 miles. He couldn’t find the short in the electronics

I'm thinking it's more mechanical. Usually when electronics fail you get 2nd and 3rd
