GlennWest Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hooked up camper, drove to circle at park to turn around. Camper and car cut pretty good so decided to get out and see clearance of Smart. Put truck in neutral and it rolled back a little so set brakes. Got back in truck and nothing but neutral. Shut down truck several times and no help. Pulled battery cable, no help. Got to thinking it might be between gears. Got a neighbor to hook up his truck to mine and pull it a little. Dropped right in gear. Didn't have to go but just a few feet. First this ever happened to me. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noteven Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Could you bump the starter Glenn? "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertMiner Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 By not setting the “parking brake” and allowing the truck to roll you induced a “torque” load on the tranny. As you found out you can easily remedy the situation byl removing the “torque” on the drivetrain. The tranny did what it was designed to do in that situation. Not a good idea to ever leave you truck in neutral and not apply the “parking brake”. You were fortunate you had a tow close by to get you going again. The UltraShift users manual mentions this situation and the possibility of “rolling” the truck to release the torque. I have it somewhere and will try to post it.

GlennWest Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 yea, sorta found that out the hard way. I did blink between n and f one time and continued that untiI I cycled the ignition. DW Durango has a reciever. We just never used it and didn't have a ball for it to hook to. Will be investing in one in case this ever happens again. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
