Q: below is a direct quote from dc tsb 21-04-00 referring to the 96-99 46re transmission the vehicle operator may experience slower than normal vehicle accelerations because the transmission may have temporarily entered its third gear limp-in mode as a result of the dtc. the limp- in mode may last until the vehicle owner cycles the ignition key. the technician may not detect a problem with the automatic transmission during a diagnostic test or test drive. the quotation marks surrounding limp-in are dcs not mine; making it rather obvious that the a500 /518 /618 family does indeed go into a limp mode under certain circumstances. got a problem with that talk to dc. first off a 97 2500 would have a 47re if a v-8 and a 48re if a v-10 so this tsb does not apply to the vehicle in question au contraire!! the tsb specifically refers to all res. again a direct quote from the tsb this information applies to vehicles equipped with a re series automatic transmission built before december 18 1998 mdh 1218xx the original post didnt specify an engine size but only the diesel and v-10 had the 47re in 97 the 48re came along much later. second mopars use of quotation marks indicates that this is a non-factory-programmed event kind of like windows 98 freezing up if it automatically reverts to a certain gear when an error occurs it is a factory-programmed event just like windows 98 flashing a blue screen. if it were a factory programed mode limp mode would be called limp mode not limp-in picky picky. i suppose it depends on the definition of limp. .
