Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING PAST MY HOUSE, I PUT THE DRIVE TRAIN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL THE THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN. I TRIED TO STEER CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS BUT WHEN I HIT MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK WENT SIDEWAYS AND IT ROLLED DOWN A CULVERT AND ENDED UPSIDE DOWN. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DECLARED A "TOTAL LOSS". I SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS AND BRUISES BUT CAME OUT OK. I DOWNLOADED THE OBD2 DATA FROM THE COMPUTER AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND IT SHOWED CODE P0731 G PEND GEAR 1 INCORRECT RATIO???. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2008 RAM DATA. *TR
