04 dodge 3500 stuck in limp mode
My dads 04 decided to go into limp mode today. It was shifting fine yesterday but this morning it took off in one gear and won't shift. No codes or check engine lights. It's got 185k miles on it but never had any problems till today. I put a water pump and ac pump on it a few months ago.
Do you guys think its a sign of the tranny taking a crap or something else?
Thanks Aaron

Check the trans relay first make sure there is power and relay is working. Check the fuse also here is wiring may be of help.

Might have the same issue here: Started slipping while in Tow/Haul mode coming out of 1st. Have to get heavy on the throttle and fan it to get it to shift into second. 2nd to 3rd is a little better and once in 3rd and O/D seems ok and holds. 178,000 miles on truck and transmission was serviced around 120,000 miles. Was told everything looked great then. Could this be a solenoid issue? How would I diagnose to tell if it is the solenoid?

If it does not manually shift into gear would it still be the governor pressure solenoid and transducer? Will it show a code on the scanner?
