Your 1999 Durango wont go over 25 mph when you step on the gas the RPM's rev up to 4-5 it sounds like it could blow What could the problem be?

try checkin your timing belt it might not be right HUH??? I don't know how the timing could cause this, but... It sounds like the tranny is not shifting, especially since the engine runs up to 4000 RPM. Check your tranny fluid level. If good, try changing the tranny filter and fluid (1/2 days work and $120). Search this site for info on procedure. Otherwise, sounds like you may need a new transmission. Just don't tear into your engine looking for the timing belt. There's no way that you could rev it up to 4 grand with a bad timing belt! The explosion would be deafening!
