[QUOTE="Harblar, post: 659129, member: 8673"] I had this same exact issue about a month ago. My truck had been sitting outside at the airport for a week and a half while I was gone in a trip. Came back and the POS aftermarket security alarm I have had drained the battery to nothing.... In a week and a half! Anyway, finally got it charged enough to crank and then let it sit running for half an hour. When I got in and started the drive home I noticed something didn't seem quite right. Sounded wrong at low speeds and didn't want to accelerate like normal. Pop up the gear indicator (since that always hides itself after a dead battery) and sure as hell stuck in 5th. Got home (only 5 mile drive) and tried putting it into reverse and noticed a lurch/clunk. Turned it off and back on. Still stuck in 5th and lurching when shifting into reverse. Was slightly concerned, but figured the tranny must be partially frozen up since it'd been sitting in -10 degree weather for over a week. Let it sit in the heated garage over night and the next morning everything worked normal. Never occurred to me that it was an electrical issue all along. [/QUOTE]
