I have a 99 2500 with only 79k miles that has left me in the woods!It started shifting slow out of 2nd gear early this a.m. then worked fine after that. got ready to head back home and the trucks will not shift out of 1st gear.will not go any faster than 25mph.what can I do to get it home(with out getting a wrecker to tow it home) Thanks of your help in advance.

 

If it was me, and I've been there 3 times, I'd just drive it as close to home as it can make it. My last truck, 97 Ram w/360 gas, went through 3 trans. The first was exactly the same problem...stuck in first. The others were no reverse and once stuck in second. Anyways, the first time it was a planetary gear the came apart. The way I see it, your probably already looking at a rebuild, so just limp it along to get it as close to home as you can, or to a trans shop along the way that you trust. In all three instances, I made it home, then to a trans shop. All three times the trans needed rebuilt. Good luck!

 

Hercules gave some good info, limp it home or close as possible. Mine, the band went and was stuck in 1st.

 

would also help to let us know where you are at , so maybe a local could come lend a hand.........

 

50 miles from home .didnt know if it could be a speed sensor causing trbl.

 

Where is "Home"?
