Driving home from the parental units' residence at around 74,060 miles or so and 70mph, the truck gave me a disturbing shudder as it abruptly kicked down to 5th gear and showed a big yellow wrench on the Vehicle Infomation screen. Hit OK and immediately lost the speedometer, odometer (you read that right), all trip/mileage info, select shift capability, and cruise control.
When I got off the highway, it was immediately apparent the tranny had locked out all forward ratios other than 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear. Reverse was still available when I parked it at home. Odometer read "------.-" when I got out of the truck immediately after shutting it down. Haven't had a chance to pull any codes (don't have a working code reader at home) but, the REALLY weird part is, an hour or so later, the odometer was back to normal when I got back in the truck. The truck also started up as if nothing happened. All displays and transmission function seemed to be back to normal.
Only previous issues with the truck (29-Nov-2010 build date) were the dreaded "clunk" that finally got repaired with a new drive shaft at around 10,000 miles. At 34.750 miles or so, the tranny valve body had to be replaced after the truck displayed a similar "wrench" the first time in January 2012. And at around 50,000 miles, the wiper motor quit while I was hunting in the Texas Hill Country last year. All of this stuff happened under the standard warranty or ESP coverage after 36,000mi.
Any one seen something similar?
