it wants to drive through the brakes

I could really use some quick help. We just pulled in to the Hockey game and as I put the break on the truck started to shake and it wanted to drive through the brakes. When I put it in nuetral or park it revs to 2k and the idles normal. I didn't notice any smoke, but I wonder if it could be a stuck injector?

So I made it home, by putting it in Neutral when I had to stop. It ran fine once I was moving. The feeling reminds me of trying to power brake it. Any help would be great.

#5 on converter - I had the same situation when the converter died on me. Odds are it's going to be a trans rebuild for you since the converters usually send particles through the fluid.

I let the dealer have it all last week and the best they could come up was they thought it was the converter too. They wanted $1550.00 for another converter and to flush the tranny. I politely informed their shop time was a little too rich for my blood and I would be taking it to an independent shop for the repairs. The tech asked me who and I told him of a well respected local shop and he agreed they were the best and he was taking his truk there when he could save up the money.

So on to today, I expect to hear from the guy today as to what can be done. On the phone last week he told me he could get a Tq converter rated for 500 hp for about $800.00 so we will see. I will update eveyone hopefully later this afternoon. Thanks for the responses. I am a little ****** about it only havng 53000 miles and suffering a failure like this. I do not dog it have not towed anything heavy with it... Really dissapointed in Dodge...

For the 06s, the 100K warranty is engine only, not drive train.
