I was cruising on the highway at 45 and get on it nothing crazy just moderate throttle to pass some car and it just revved out. I coasted to the side of the road. Shut down and drove to the closest parking lot I could find. The trans will just rev and slightly move in DRIVE GEAR, REVERSE just revs, the only gears that move the truck are manual 2 and 1. trans fluid is red and does not smell burnt. The over drive light is flashing. I will post the video I made on my camera when I get in. Currently 50 miles from my place all highway with just second gear. Could it be a band? I can hear stuff spinning in DRIVE gear. I have a warranty but I would like to know ahead of time.

 

Torque Converter. i think.

 

damn that far too? I figured you'd be close to home when i got the message lol

i'm going with what Pedro said in an eariler thread.
so you better hope he's right.

 

Might have just blown the valve body gasket.Don't get nervous yet.

OD off in drive I'm doing fine. When it's on is the issue

 

Sorry for any foul language.

 

Don't sell that truck, send it to the ****in' crushers!

 

set the tune back to stock.

 

Pulled these codes
P1744
P1754
P0775

 

I think you have a thick new england accent, no idea about the truck tho.

 

first one TORQUE CONVERTER not locking

2nd is a solenoid circuit problem

3rd is valve and gasket kit in trans

....googled them all

BRING IT BACK UNDER WARRANTY

 

I gotta get it up there in the morning. as of right now
Drive does not work with overdrive on
Drive with over drive off does work cruising but not from a stop
Reverse is gone
So from a stop i shift 1, then 2 and push OD off then go into drive with OD off and its fine

 

not even installed since the new trans

whatta ya mean.

 

if it holds in drive while your moving its gotta be something with the torque converter since its only requiring low numbers once your at speed but i find it weird it works in 1st and 2nd from a stop


whatever it is blows and lol @ receiving my text in vid

 

I'm pretty clueless, Took for ever to get back i didnt wanna have it get too toasty in there i touched the trans cooler bad idea lmao.

hahaha yup txted you 1st

 

It's a F***ing piece of S***!!!! sorry that made me laugh a lil.

Sounds like WARRANTY!!!!

Yeah, what a piece of ****.

 

The was with the old trans this thing is brand spanking new. There's nothing about that thread that could have caused this issue. I have like 700 miles on this unit. Atleast it looks good.

 

You really need to cut your losses and get something else. Even a bicycle.

 

You are correct. There's just one thing stopping me. I LOVE MY TRUCK even though its a pain in the ***. Sure it's gonna go in the spring but I'll have a car till I'm out of school. I cant have a this truck in school. I do plan to get another ranger though after I'm out of school just 1 year from May 2012.

 

With all the problems that truck has, I agree.
