Hi there, Sorry to hear about all your car troubles. My Name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I am an ASE Master Tech here to assist you with your vehicle. Please understand I am not there with you, But I am here to help. Any information about what is going on is greatly appreciated. The system will ask for a phone call, Please let me know if you want this option as I am not always available to do so. Be aware that I am assisting many customers at the same time and will get back to you as quickly as I can but I cannot get answers immediately as I am not a computer. I like to research each answer before I get back to you to ensure that I give out the correct info. Thank you for understanding. For this type of issue you will want to do a fault code scan to see what codes the vehicle is giving us. Without this the only thing we can do is a hard reset. This is done by disconnecting the battery and letting the vehicle sit for 30 minutes. Then after this time has elapsed you will reconnect your battery and retest the system. If the limp mode is still present then this would indicate a hard fault. You will then need to get these codes to move forward and see why the computer is telling the [engine](/topics-engine-chevy/) to go into limp mode. You will need an obd2 code reader to do this. Most auto parts sell this and will do this service for free, but you will need to get the vehicle there to do so.

Ok

For this you can first attempt to do the hard reset but if still present we will need fault codes to continue.

My truck won't shift out of 1 gear
