    I have a 2016 Wetsern Star, DD15 with a DT12 in it...
    Has been operating flawlessly, until a couple of weeks ago, I started getting overrevving between gears, not a constant issue but on upshifts it would ramp up between odd shifts, no issues on downshifts.

    A couple of weeks ago I had to come to a hard stop (Nashville, rush hour!) once I once stopped the trans went into N and beeped at me, I couldn't get it to go into gear, air pressure was perfect, the only remedy I could think of was shutting off the battery for a couple seconds and when I started the truck back up, it shifted perfectly, no issues again for the next 1500miles, the over revving did continue.

    Monday, when I was delivering my load, the trans shut down again and I repeated the process of powering off and it worked, this happened almost every time I came to a stop.

    I am completely at a loss as to what it could be and would really appreciate any help with the issue.

    You got a sensor going bad.

    Any chance it was raining ?

    I did have an idiot stereo guy try and fix my radio and he completely messed things up, but that was all in my overhead, he left bare wires cut and I couldn't get interior lights, lane departure, high beams, window power... any chance that he could have screwed up a sensor doing that?

    Why not just plug in and see what the stored codes are?

    When you say over revving maybe the clutch is slipping. I believe there is 750k warranty on the transmission but 350k on clutch.

    Pretty generic code for clutch. Plug in DDL to diagnose/repair.
