RW> That's not good, especially for a Mopar...can you do a computer reset

Yes, I kept resetting the battery to get it out of limp mode before taking
it to the transmission shop.

RW> If you did a PTC reset in their parking lot, you could possibly get it to

It would have still failed, because they can tell you reset the computer.
There are several tests that the computer has to run through after a reset
- and if they are not finished, they will not pass the vehicle.  

I have been driving the truck for almost 200 miles now and it still has one
last test to complete before being ready for the emessions test.

RW> What is the difference in fuel mileage? Suburbans are a bit large and too
RW> heavy to get good mileage. A Tahoe might have served you better. 18" less
RW> room in the back, but still plenty of room to haul a bunch of kids,
RW> groceries and other stuff.

The V8-4.7 Durango gets an average of 16-18mpg.  The Suburbans are listed as 12/17.  

I looked at a Tahoe also, but figured if I'm going bigger, might as well go
for the biggest.  :)

RW> I knew that would come back to haunt you. Sorry to say.

Yes, the owner of the transmission shop said I was lucky to get two
additional years out of the transmission after that happened.  Much in part
because we don't drive it that often now that my wife has her Lexus.
