    Converter Switch Mod question

    Ok so I installed the resistor and went for a drive and it promptly went into limp mode just like when I didnt have the resistor. Codes say converter clutch failure (obv) and shift solenoid 1 failure? maybe this is a different issue alltogether.

    Converter Switch Mod question

    Ok so I bought a 22k resistor that is 1/2 watt. Will that work? So one end goes to the pcm and the other gets key-on power, correct? Thanks Derek

    Converter Switch Mod question

    So my truck for a while now has had a problem with the torque converter randomly locking and unlocking while on the highway and it was driving me up the wall. I cleaned and greased every switch and sensor I could find and traced every wire. So rather than let my converter destroy itself I...

    E40D Overdrive help

    I've been fighting the same problem too. If you unhook the batteries and reset the computer it will make it stop for a few days I've notcied. I replaced the fipl, vss, and tach sensor and it still does it so I'm going to try cleaning all the connections and maybe the turn signal switch next...

    transmission cooler

    So how would you recommend doing this? Did u flush the condenser with anything first? I'd be willing to try it out.

    Frame mounted tool boxes???

    Try craigslist. I picked up a nice reading box for my flatbed for $50 but I may end up selling it and make some custom ones. If you search craigslist use words like "underbed or underbody" I had more luck finding some that way.

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    It was a 15 amp but im praying it was just a fluke since I drove 45 mins to and from work today and it was fine.

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    Well it did it again tonight :dunno only this time it was under the dash and it was fuse #8. This seems to be occuring randomly because I replaced the fuse and went for a 30 min drive and it was fine. I guess I'll see how it acts on the way to work tomorrow. Hopefully I dont end up having to...

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    Figured it out finally, it was actualy a fuse, but it was in the power distrubution box under the hood. I replaced it, unhooked the batts for 10 mins, and added some dielectric grease on the speed sensor plug and everything seems to be fine now. Thanks guys ;Sweet

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    So I pulled out of my driveway and my truck wouldnt shift out of first gear. I notcied the o/d light was flashing and the speedo was on zero, so I figured it must be the vss on the rear axle. But then I notcied the odometer wasnt on :dunno so now I'm lost. Any ideas on what can make the odometer...

    Question on E40D torque converter is locking, and unlocking

    Check your tach sensor. My truck just started doing this again and I knew it wasn't my wiring cause I just redid it so I started looking under the hood. The insulation on my tach sensor (original most likey) had rubbed off and the wires must have been touching each other with the vibration from...
