Ps it was 104k miles on it... i think it might be the original batt but i dunno yet till this wed..

hey something like this just happened to me. basically it was a dead battery for me. Because something was draining the power, took it to my mechanic and he found it right away - blower motor. But when it died, i got the trans fail safe message. before i found a good mechanic (just moved from NYC to FL) - another replaced my ALT - i have an 01 4.4 with 103k miles when it happened. Didnt have problems with any paticular gear - with dead alt it would drive for a while then shut dwn. good luck!!
