Hello all, I have a 03 f250 super duty, 5.4 4x4, 4r100. Transmission intermittently malfunctions causing what feels like the converter locking and stalling the truck. Mostly this happens at a stop light, sign, etc. I start it back up in N and drop it in drive it will 90% of the time stall again....it will also stall sometimes just putting it in gear, R or D. The truck has had a converter drainback issue for a couple years....it will drain overnight and cause delayed gear engagement. I put a new solenoid pack in last year and that helped for a while with the stalling, but now I am right back to the same thing. One more kicker is that say I am sitting at a stop...in gear (so it didn't stall on me) if I put it in L1 or L2 that will kill it also. I am at a loss....no slipping, shifts great, pulls my 8k fifth wheel just fine. Any ideas...thanks in advance! -Brad-

Hey that sounds like what my friend is experiencing on his similar 99... he said it happens mostly when he shifts in reverse.... my question for you would be how much did the solenoid pack help? If it helped it dramatically I wonder if those didn't go bad again? I have heard on quite a few occasions about replaced parts going bad not long after being replaced whether because of brand type or whatever....
