Drove truck home after running errands for a couple of hours, truck was fine, no warning or anything of something going on with trans. Left house, starting driving and realized transmission was not running right. Then noticed tach was not working, and so it began. Limped home, literally and started looking at things. Determined it was limp mode, started feeling a little better, and then tried to figure out why.Luckily, had a big visual cue that the tach was not working and hit on some searches for that. Determined was relays so went down to the truch and started looking at things, after I looked at where they were, I am knew at this. With my son watching the tach, started jiggling/tapping in wires/relays and he shouts out tach is working. So, electrical issue seems to be the key. Now, neither of the relays was in the holder, thin black rectangle behind the reservoirs on the driver side projecting into the engine compartment, next to the coffee can. I dont know which is which, they have keyed slots so only go in one way, head down to napa. They finally find a match for one, said ECC/TECA but it is square.
Attached are pictures of the two of them, showing the, keyed slots for the pigtails. I thought I should have 3 relays, I believe I have the factory tow, but perhaps it was centurion installed. I found a note that I might need to get new pigtails too, design change. The ones in there are now are from Ford. They and the pigtails are corroded pretty bad.
