mlgod, not shifting gears!

i took my 2000 ml in for regular 30k service... while there they told me my fuel pump was bad and replaced it under warranty. I picked up the truck and as i was leaving the truck felt a little strange, underpowered? so, when i got onto the highway i floored it and found that the truck wasnt shifitng gears!!! it was stuck in one gear! i took it back and the dealer said it was very strange, any ideas on what might be the problem? thanks
