I was on the freeway. truck empty not even a passenger... about 74-76mph(about 2200rpm with my tires).... had to get over a couple lanes... rolled into the throttle... turbo spooled up... didn't downshift(I rarely push it enough for it to want to downshift)
once the turbo spooled.... started to pick up speed.... BAM truck felt like someone turned off the motor.....( not the 2k limiting either) about 2-3 seconds later got neutral... and motor hit the governor!(hadn't moved my foot yet)... i'm like WTF... just coasting at this point..... then it went back into gear..... but it felt like it was locked out of overdrive... turning about 2900-3100 RPM's and not locked up!! tranny temp started climbing..
stopped at the end of the offramp.... had to rap up the motor to about 2600 to get it to move... was moving but felt horrible.... (i've cooked a few trannys in my racing days)(not d-max) this feels like it burned up bands. So now the truck moves but it feels like its only got third gear.... it will cruise down the road normal(minus locking up) but taking off feels horrible! when you get it going it never shifts... just gets more speed slowly, its putting some serious heat in the tranny.... checked the trans fluid... full, smells OK.
Truck only has 30k on the clock....
so after the story.... two questions
1 anyone ever had a similar thing with the edge?
2 anyone had a similar thing without the edge??
just trying to figure out if the edge caused it(electronic problems) or if the tranny is hurt mechanically!
