    It may be a different connector for the rodeo since it was newer (04) but installation is identical (0.9 hours). And I know for certain we share n alternator with the trooper and acura SLX

    Call and tell them not to. Say your VX has AIDS and they won't touch it.

    I don't think our transmissions have a safe mode... I've never heard of a limp home mode either, so either your transmission is slipping or your mode selection switch is non functional. Can anyone else shed light on the tranny safe mode bit?

    Transmission actually will lock into 3rd gear in certain situations. Happens when the regulator in the alternator goes so system voltage is too high

    Removing the serpentine belt will let you run off the battery directly but you can't go far, like that and you have no power steering, headlights or cooling fan.
