Posted this in the truck section also. Want to get as much feed back as possible. My LOW mileage (13K)Ram is stuck in 4th. Won't shift out. Engine light is also on. The only way to get it to shift, is the stop the engine and restart. Then it's okay for a short distance and then it gets stuck in 4th again.. Any idea as to what is causing this. I've had absolutely no issues with this truck since I bought it. This is a complete blindside since I really love the truck......Please help. Thanks

I did buy it new. Was hoping to not have to deal with a dealer. Maybe as a last resort...

Why buy a new truck then? It's under warranty..it's their issue not yours...that's what you paid(a lot) for!

Sounds like the trans is in limp mode. When you shut it off and restart it the truck trans will work until it sees the problem again and then it goes into the limp mode that locks it in a certain gear which should actually be second or third on yours. Have it scanned and see what the code is first and then go from there. Ron
