Ok, so I sit here rather shaken from probably the most eventful drive
that I've ever had.
On the way home from school tonight, all of the sudden at about 75mph,
the truck stalls, so I pull over. It wouldn't start up at all, so I'm a
little perturbed since I just got it back from the trans shop again and
they changed my oil as well.... Naturally I'm thinking the worst.
Fast forward to 10 minutes later as I'm driving and the speedo drops to
zero, tack stays up at about 2k and the engine isn't running. I pop it
into neutral and hit the key, the speedo jumps up to about 60, the
engine starts, and I pop it back into drive and continue along my merry
way. This happens probably about 5 or 6 more times along the way home.
Also, the ABS light comes on intermittantly when this happens. I pull
into my parking spot and the damn thing just about stalls, I figure WTF
and just shut it off and come inside to fix myself a nice strong drink.
I check everything, the oil looks good, trans fluid looks good, it'll
start up like a champ now and runs nice and smooth.
I'm thinking to myself that it's probably a VSS gone bad, but since it's
now 22:50 and I've begun drinking, I'm in no mood to try and look up any
information. This is where I turn to the DML for their opinion. If
It's deemed a VSS, I'll probably stop at the dodge dealer and pick one
up tomorrow on lunch. I've got to get this fixed before Wed though,
another drive to/from school like this and I'll kill myself - just to
get even with it.
