2000 4x4 ClubCab with a 4.7l_V8 engine, built in the Warren,MI plant; sequence number 592007
MileageProblem
3000 Started vehicle, all gear indicator lights illuminated transmission stuck in second gear (limp home mode), shut off & restarted several times, same thing. Drove another five miles, shut off, restarted everything working fine except engine service light on, captured code no big deal, one time event, right. Take to dealer will not malfunction, they reset the computer, and change trans control module, takes two days to get the only one in midwest, I'm on my way. I make one stop, trans locks in second. Take back to dealer next day they say must be valve in valve body (I'm guessing he's just as clueless as I am), dealer resets computer, I'm on my way again. Get ready to go to work next day, suprise trans. locked in second gear, first stop Dealer. Dealer and I know one another quite well by now so he canibalizes yet another trans. control module off another Dakota blames it on service manual hook-up error (Hmm I think the connectors are keyed) have not had any problems since (10000 miles).
