Thank you

were you going from reverse to drive trying to get it out of the snow?

Yea I was

ok, well the transmission probably overheated and damaged the internal clutch packs. so you are going to need a code reader to connect to the obd 2 connector under the dash to see what fault codes are stored in the computer, but unfortunately, you will need the vehicle towed.

Can I get it towed to my dealershipDoes this mean I have to replace the transmission

yes, you can get it towed to the dealership once they read the fault codes with their scan tool, they will be able to tell you what will need to be done to repair the issue. it is quite possible the transmission will need to be replaced, but until I know the fault codes I cannot confirm that

Okay thank you

you are very welcome. stay well. I hope the problem is only a minor one for you.

Could it be possible that my car need to just cool off for a while

that is very possible because if the transmission fluid overheated it will cause the same type of issues. but, being that the check engine light is on, I sort of doubt it

The engine light is blinking on and off

and that is worrisome. you need to have it towed

Well where located I can't right now because we're getting a lot of snow hopefully it'll break tomorrow and I can take it then

ok, well I will be on all day tomorrow, but for now, once the engine and transmission have cooled down the only thing you can do is wait and then try it again

Okay

Please keep me posted.

I will

ok

Hey how are you

I'm good, what's up?

I went to autozone and got the check engine light test and I googled the code and it told me I needed an oil change and I got one and it still jerks when I accelerate

what is the fault code?

P1326

standby please

Okay

what engine ? 2.0 or 2.4 or 3.3?

3.3

ok you are going to need to access the #1 knock sensor and emove the connector. then read the resistance across the terminals of the sensor

Okay what will I need to replace

if the resistance of the sensor isn't around 4.8 ohms then you need to replace the sensor

its quite a job, here is the procedure (attached)

That's kinda too much for me will my truck be fine until I take it to my dealership on Monday

hows it running?

After it jerks it runs normally

just take it easy with it this weekend

sir

ok, have a good weekend

Could it be bad gas?

anything is possible, but I don't think so since the issues happened after getting stuck in the snow
