2005 Dodge Dakota Acceleration Issues
I have a 05 Dakota and not too long ago is started having trouble accelerating every once in a while. It started getting a lot worse when I started a delivery job and I was doing a lot of stop and go driving. There were times when I could not drive forward, but then I would go in reverse for a little bit then I would be able to drive forward. Just today I heard a loud sort or grinding and it was like my truck hit a wall and it completely stopped moving. Now I can't go over 35mph with going over 3000rpm and the 4LO light won't stop blinking, Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

drive in reverse and get that thing out of 4 wheel. pull the transfer case fuse before your transfer case explodes, time to replace the transfer case switch .the fuse is a 30amp near the back of fuse box under hood, should be a green fuse.

Is this endemic to the full-time NV244HD transfer case only?Or can it occur in the part-time NV233 transfer cases as well?

It is very frustrating that Dodge ignores this ongoing issue. I have had the fuse out of mine for three years, and still no definitive answer from Dodge.

if its not a 4x4 look into the throttle position sensor
