   I guess that I've been ignoring this echo too long.

   That's not good, especially for a Mopar...can you do a computer reset like   
   is done in GM cars to overcome the limp mode, for at least a little while?

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

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

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