I have a small update. I drove the truck home from the other shop last Sunday. I was sicker than a dog this week so didn't get anything done other than make it through the week without losing too much time at work. The drive home on Sunday took about 1-1/2 hours and the TCIL never flashed once, but still no TC lockup of course. Temp gauge got as high a 170° when pulling a couple of steep grades, but was usually around 160°. Today I felt better, so I went and bought a mechanical oil pressure gauage and tee'd it into the cooler outflow line. I warmed the truck up and took it out for a test drive. The gauge reads between about 60 and 80 psi when running down the road. Watching the gauge when the led goes out, the needle will dip about 10 psi. According to Page 23 of the TRANSGo lockup complaint diagnosis "Watch the gauge when the LED goes out. The cooler line gauge should flick or dip whenever the LED goes on or off. If the gauge flicks/dips with the LED the solenoid and valve body and lockup valve are OK. Pull the trans out, the trouble is on the front end." So, it would seem that the converter is the problem, if I am interpreting the results correctly here. Since it does appear the TC is actually the culprit, and I have a new TC ready to install, and it would seem that I do not have to mess iwht pulling the pump, I think I am going to tackle this myself. Since I only need to get the old TC out and the new one in, I should not need to get the trans all the way out form under the truck, right? I am hoping I can just leave it on the trans jack, lower it down enough to get the old TC out and new one in and throw it back up. Any suggestions, tips, etc. greatly appreciated!
