Limp Mode - Unknown

[EdHale]

This may be a stupid question, but:

I frequently drive all week and never get to 2,000 rpm. I'm very light on the throttle and jack rabbit starts aren't in my bag of tricks. Even when I go to the lake on weekends, which is frequent even in the winter, I never get to 2,000 rpm for the entire 450 mile round trip.

The only time I ever see 2,000+ rpm is when I'm towing which isn't often this time of year. With this being said, how would I even know I was in Limp Mode? Is there a code or message that will show in the DIC? Of course I could punch it occasionally just to see. Hmmmmm, Maybe this isnt' such a bad idea when I have a Ford of Dodge behind me.

If you limp, the SES will come on, and the tranny will limit you to only 3rd gear. If that were to happen, you'd have to get past 2K, or you'll be driving on the freeway at 40 MPH. And, the torque converter will not lock. You will know something is wrong.

Now I know. Thank you sir. So far No Limp and 35,000 miles.
