I checked my TPS this weekend when I was at the shop changing the fuel filter. It read 0 volts at idle and 0 volts at wide open throttle. It jumped all over the scale during "acceleration". I am assuming it is junk. Anyway, does the TPS have anything to do with the cruise control? The cruise control died about the same time the truck started shifting in and out of overdrive. And by the way, I found out how much fun it is to get a Dodge truck with a 16' stock trailer stuck in a 3 foot deep snow drift in a horse pasture. Only took an hour to shovel it out(Whoops!!! needed more speed or something and should not have tried turning).

Unless I'm missing something I would say that it is toasted. It should not read 0 and it should also not jump around as you slowly and smoothly open the throttle up to wide open.
The service maual says that this indicates a failed or faulty TPS and time to replace it.
Sorry for the bad news 'Case'.
If someone else has any ideas please jump in here. I do not have overdrive so I can't say if that would also affect you, but logic suggests that if it can't make up its mind what gear to be in then OD will not work either.
I think you may try to find one off a wreck and see if it behaves. That will save you some money atleast. If not, well... ..... ugh!
