i was driving on the freeway at 70 mph and my truck shifted out of od. the check engine light also came on my dash and stayed on. the truck will not shift into od. and it seems like it does not have its usual power.

any suggestions?

 

First thing you should do is fill out your signature , including year , trans , etc , and any modifications.

have you had any work done recently?

 

My info is already setup - dont know why it didnt copy in...

2000 Quad cab SLT LB- 4" exhaust, Auto, Edge EZ, Scotty 2, paint matched running boards, piller mounted auto meter pyro & boost, Rhino liner,

it does have a heavy duty torque converter - no recent work

 

actually what I am really wondering is since the check engine light is on if that is a result of a tranny problem, or, is there some other problem that may not originate in the tranny that is casused elswhere?

 

Retrieve the codes.

You can do the key on/off/on/off/on trick and see them flash in the odometer window.

This method is known to now show all the codes though, best to have the codes scanned,
either at the Dealership, or most major auto parts houses (Autozone for one).

Tranny codes and ABS codes are some of the ones that don't always show up without a scanner.

Thanks for the Autozone suggestion. I just called them and they dont do it themselves anymore, BUT, they will "rent" (no charge) with your drivers license. Off I go...
