It starts picking up speed then BAM like i hit the NO2 It just takes off like a bat out of hell (which i dont think is correct either) so i stay on the throttle and it STOPS!!!! the enging is still going and The S/C is just as loud but no movement once again the tach stops and so does the speedo. And i just sit in the middle of the freeway loud as hell but staying at the same speed no gain in speed or RPM's


Hey Lightning Kid

Clear up a few things for us ?

Is it like the Tranny is slipping ?? The motor rev's but it doesn't pull ???

What do you mean the Tach Stops and so does the Speedo ?
It all of a sudden goes dead ??? or What ???

The comment you make about it all of a sudden "Bam take off like you hit the Juice" that sounds like a tranny or convertor that was slipping and then all of a sudden locked in ??? Tranny related ??

Sitting on the pkwy loud as hell (I assume that means revving ?)
but staying at the same speed without it increasing,
would again be a tranny or convertor slipping, but then you say no gain in speed or RPM, if it was slipping the RPM's would be screaming ????

Do you have a chip??? If you do, pull it out, disconnect the batt, let it sit a few minutes, then hook it back up and try it.

Please clear up some off those questions,
and keep us posted on what you find.

Correct the motor revs but does not pull at all.

The Truck does not go dead it does just not move it will stay at the same speed and RPM and not increase, but the sound will . like its stuck in 3rd gear or not in gear at all.

It could be the tranny. If i floor it it will take off, the tach moves slowly then wham, the tach starts to scream!

Yes i came to that conclusion, the rpms do not move and neither does the speedo it is just stuck, like its red lined but going 85.

no i dont not have a chip or any other mods, 100% stock. Its a 99 w/ 50k miles
