when your truck goes into limp mode how does it run and what all does it affect?(tranny,timing,tc,etc). and will it give a ses light when this happens.

 

My 99 model didn't do it, but on my 03, it does get an SES light. Transmission gets locked into a certain gear. Throttle is limited to just a bit more than idle.

 

It sucks. Feels like you are driving a 5000 pound electric golf cart. Top speed is like 30 mph and it takes ten minutes to get going that fast.

 

thanks guys, just curious cuz ive had some gremlins in my truck lately

 

if you have a high stall like 3500+ you can't even move. i have been there before.

 

that happened right after my yank install. it was stuck in like 2nd or 3rd gear and would not go over 50mph.

come to find out, a pin from one of the wiring harnesses was not in contact with the other harness. messed up the speed sensor i think. easy fix though

 

thanks keuka and parish, really appreciate the help

 

oh man it sucks. It happened to my brother and I in his car one time. We were out in the middle of nowhere and he broke a valve spring.

 

What causes this?
