My 01 ram has no power. stopped on dirt road with trk. in gear. Stab the gas pedal

ENGINE LIGHT ON.

is the engine just racing its self? if so the trans could be slipping, another possiblity is the transmission for what ever reason is in limp mode. those trucks dont really have any adjustment to the timing unless you do it your self. sounds like to me the transmissions in limp mode though
