My Dodge Dakota will not shift out of 1st gear. I just bought this truck at a steal price. It has a run lean code. I have changed the transmission pressure solenoid, transmission filter and fluid. So everything is good as far as the fluid goes. The RPM'S go up to about 3,000 but will not shift gears. What can I do?
