RE: truck wont shift update
well thats great.....just as i suspected i think my dealer is shooting in the dark on this problem. so i know when they put the sensor in, it wont fix it......the thing is ,the S E S light didnt even come on at all and i had previously checked dtc's with the bd so how in the heck did they find a bad "range sensor"oh man im starting to get worried.im gonna do some research on this sensor and see what i can find

USAFR- I had said to reprogram it with the 2.3.8 v 2 days ago after talking to BD. They called me today asking what they could do to make it up to me. The head engineer is calling Friday to talk to me. Like I said I wrote a letter to them and it got their attention. But I agree they should not have released a bad program. But I bet it will not happen again after this. It pays to write letters and phone calls. I told them the news was out on the net and they like to had a baby. If they wont to make it right with me I always wonted a outlook. HAHA

RE: truck wont shift update
went to dealer to see if i could find my truck to install the 2.3.8 program.......figured they could put the sensor in and let em think they fixed it ,BUT when i got there they were closed but the janitor guy was there and i told him i needed to get something out of my vehicle i showed him my registration and blah blah. anyway he let me go in the shop to get it.....when i walk in i find my truck on a rack with the trans pan removed and the valve body on a work bench beside it.....so i tell the guy dont worry about it and now its basically there guinea pig......if that damn sensor fixes it ill be suprised but im sure it wont........so who did you guys talk to at bd

RE: truck wont shift update
I talked to a service rep. After explaining what was going on, I asked if they could somehow fix the problem. He said that he would turn it over to the software engineers and give me a call back. Sure enough, about 30 min later he called back and said that all I needed to do was plug the programmer in and they would talk me through it, and that it really wasn't a big deal. I gotta give it to BD, they stand behind a $500 product better than Diamler Chrysler stands behind a $34,500 one. I love the CTD, but I believe that this will be my last Dodge product.

No, that won't work. You have to get Bully Dog on the phone at the same time, they have to go through the steps with you. There are some codes that have to be reset with the programmer, and the vin will have to be retyped in. The whole process takes about 20 min.
