Howdy all.
It's been awhile since I posted, but I do lurk.
Truck:
99 XLT
55R55E Tranny
4.0L SOHC
4x4
99K miles
Here's my problem.
Did some stop and go driving and parking to multiple stores today with no problems. Parked, went into the store, come out and the truck wouldn't start. Acted like the battery was dead, but all the lights were bright and full power to everything. When I tried to start it again, it was slow cranking, but it fired, ran for 10-15 sec then stalled. Pressed the gas, cranked it and it cranked normally and fired right up, idled properly. Put it in D and nothing, put it in R and nothing. Tried all the gears and nothing. I shut it off, checked all the fuses under the hood, side of dash and all are good.
Background:
Purchased in 2001 w/30K miles, never changed tranny fluid or filter, it's never slipped or has had any problems. I do have a remote filter that get's changed ever 8-9K miles with oil change (all mobile 1 synthetic). No (zero) mods have been done 5yrs. Only things done are regular maint.
I have never had a problem with the engine or tranny in this. Since I live on dirt/gravel roads, my ABS light comes on about every 6 months, but I just spray behind the wheels real good and it goes away without reseting the computer. The ABS light has been on for 4 weeks now since I haven't had time to wash it yet. But I don't think that would be the problem.
The only codes that I get are P0500 which is for the VSS (ABS light).
NO OTHER CODES.
The scanner being used is a Snap-on multiple ODB scanner that my brother uses (he's a mechanic)
I'm going to try and find another scanner, since I read one post that stated MAC and Snap-on scanners don't read all or any of the codes for transmissions (this one supposedly does).
It doesn't make any noise, or hesitation like it want's to move. It acts like it's in neutral. When placed in park it doesn't move (as expected), when placed in any other gear the vehicle can be pushed forward or backwards regardless of being in R, D 2 or 1.
Well I hope this is enough detail. I just don't know where to start. I'm not a tranny guy so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks All
