Default hitting 4k rev limiter under accel...???

I was taking my dad home tonight and we were going uphill when it kicked down into 3rd and went to 4K and was on the limiter and no power!! WTF?! any ideas? I tried to shift to neutral then drive and no change.

Any ideas? Truck has 77K. Trans has been acting funny like not going into gear in rev or D, and some shutter under normal driving.

Sorry, didn't mean to drop out of site. Had to play war games for a while...

Nope, could not duplicate. Just a grimlin getting sucked into the trans pump I guess. Hasn't done it since.

Go figure....

Thanks for the advise though.

I would check your fluids just in case and pay close attention going forward.

Yep, checked the fluids, put 5K on it since, and made 3 passes down the 1320, no issues. I'll probably change the fluids and filter when the wx breaks, too cold.

Gremlins....
