How about a little more info. Is this a new tranny and or converter? New tune in the truck? Almost sounds like your converter locked prematurely.

Sounds like you set limp mode what happens if you turn the truck off then start back does it go back to normal for a short while and are you getting anY SES light?

you make it very difficult to understand your situation when all we are informed about is contained in a sentence that is continuous and very vague. Be specific please!!!!!

Ireallywishsomepeoplewouldusepunctuationwhentheyty pe....

I helped him install that trans in his truck the first time he got it and rode with him sevral times... it was perfect in his truck, I know he had pretty much all the upgrades, It had just been sitting for a bit... It sounds like you did something to throw it into limp mode... Whats your tune look like?

What's up Jed? Has anybody else ridden in your truck when this happens? If so, how do they explain what's going on?

I also think, from what you've stated, you may have engaged limp mode... did you ever end up getting HPT?
