Strange Behavior on Accelleration

Langerhans · 2006-07-19T19:49:04+00:00

Salient info: 2004 Dodge Durango Ltd., Hemi, AutoWhile driving today at about 65 mph (2100rpm), I kicked down the accellerator to pass a truck. Tranny seemed to kick down, engine started to wind up, but despite pedal to the metal, the RPMs refused to go over about 3900, and engine seemed to lose power. Removing foot from pedal, tranny apparently upshifted and I slowly crept past the truck at about 2600rpm.It was a hot day, but a/c was off. No other unusual loads on vehicle, and no mods. Air filter was changed 3k ago. When I stopped, the 3-click trick showed no codes. I did the throttle limit reset number, but it just recurred while driving home. It's still under warranty, but with no codes, I just know I'm going to get a "could not duplicate' at the dealer.Any ideas what caused this and what I can do about it?

Nope, that was my youngest kid Cari. She will go with me on occasion but she has to be really bored. Julie is my middle daughter that shoots with me a bunch and Becky my oldest would if she didn't live three hours away.

A real nice girl.

Let her play with the AR, given the size and weight I would think it would be easier for them to fire. The boredom will pass.
