I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.... I've got a '04 1500 hemi 4wd with 41k on it. A couple of days ago I was driving down the freeway (cruise control set at 70) and as I start up a hill, when the trans is supposed to drop down a gear, its almost like the rev. limiter kicks on at 3000 rpm. It did this 3 times in a row, and hasn't done it since. My brother has nearly the same truck, and the same thing happened to him yesterday. Anyone know what it might be? :help:

I'll describe a problem that's happened to me twice so you can decide if it's the same issue. When accelerating it would not go past approximately 3 - 4K even if floored. If I let off the gas it would accelerate fine until it hit somewhere between 3-4k then acted if it was out of fuel until the rpms dropped a little.

I had previously read of this problem being caused by a component in the tranny (for the life of me I can't remember what it's called) that senses N or P and activates the rev limiter. It sometimes thinks your truck is in N even though you are in drive. On both occasions, quickly put the truck in N then back to D and it worked fine. Might give this a try next time it happens.

If you have different symptoms; sorry, I don't have a clue.

That does sound pretty much like the same deal, have you had that happen more than once?

Just twice, not long after I got the truck. It has not happen in over a year.

I have an 04 QC Hemi and have not had either problems in 55k miles. I use the cruise almost daily. Throwing any codes?
Hope you pinpoint it and get it fixed.

The check engine light (or any other warning lamp) never came on, hasn't happend since, maybe its a one time deal.
