Hello? Mr. dealer? Fix my F'n truck....!!!!

Sorry 'bout that. Hey, was it stuck in fourth, or did you tap the shifter by accident so that it said it was in fourth on the EVIC (manual mode)?

Not sure on you 4x4 service.

Highest non OD gear is usually limp mode on Chrysler vehicles. Usually means that something went wrong with the TCU or wiring for the tranny.

I notice a lot of people recommend the disconnecting of the battery, but if you have a REN or REZ radio you can do damage unless you remove the radio fuse and wait to put it back in until after you reconnect battery you can do damage it is an actual TSB issued by Chrysler...

Default Stuck in 4th gear

Mine done the same thing 4 or 5 times before the dealer could figure it out . They made me drive it to the dealership in 4th gear and show them before they could find the problem. They done a flash and so far it has stopped doing it, but a couple of times a week it will take what seems like 5 to 10 seconds before the tramsmission goes into gear after I shift into Drive. Dealer says this is normal.... I say Bull>>>>.

Been into dealer 4 times now with this problem as well as that Terribly Annoying Vibrating Gas Pedal.....

Anybody have a fix for these problems yet ?
