Seems like the truck is stuck in 2 gear and doesnt change into a higher gear. Actually, the Rodeo will not accelerate,which I assume will not let it shift to a higher gear...duh.... anyway anyone have a clue?

It sounds as though you are in limp home mode which most often is an electrical issue.

in 2nd gear? limp mode starts you off in 3rd gear if you are in D drive. you can shift manually, however. the cause for the computer to put the autom trans into limp mode is often electrical/electronic, and very often the charging system, and usually the alternator but can also be the battery, terminal connectors, wires and grounds. but can be other things. sometimes just shutting the car off and restarting makes the problem go away in my experience.

can you shift manually? are you actually in 3rd not 2nd when you take off in Drive?

K to be honest i dont know exactly the gear the truck is 'stuck' in, but yes i can shift manually...now that you mention electrical i did change the battery a day or two before this happend....and this 'limp mode' kinda sums up the problem as if the truck is limping
