Pulled out the old speed sensor. I see what you mean about gunk as the tip was full of it. Bought a new speed sensor, installed it then test drove the truck. Very disappointed. My only recourse now is to take it to a transmission shop. How long do these transmissions last by the way. I have 331k...

I just tried to remove the speed sensor but had to install it back in. I guess I should drain some fluid from the transmission first. Thats normal right. If I lift the rear of the truck then remove the speed sensor will that help with the fluid overflow.

I have shift issues as well.

Fourbarr, that sensor you mentioned is that the speed sensor? Is it sealed. When I unplugged the electrical connector, transmission fluid started dripping down from inside the sensor. Is that normal?

When I unplugged the electrical connector on the speed sensor, transmission fluid started dripping down from inside the sensor. Is that normal? Is that the gunk your talking about affecting the signals?

I have a pic of the pan but unable to post it. There was quite a bit of material on the magnet. Found small amounts of very tiny silver metal shavings, but no brass. Went ahead and replaced the governor solenoid, transducer and filter. Adjusted the band. Took it for a test drive. Drove great...

when checking the pan how much wear is to much...

Don't know if the solenoid and transducer have ever been replaced. It has 330k miles. I've put in half the total miles since bought used. Runs great except for the shifting. I've ordered the solenoid, transducer and filter. Got a good price on it. Hope that fixes it. Crossing my fingers. Thanks...

Cerb, how can you check or test if a governor pressure solenoid is bad? And where is the output speed sensor located? I have a 47RE transmission. Does it have one? Didn't know a clogged filter could cause the whine. The whine starts at around 20mph and goes up from there. Hoping its the...

Had the alternator tested today at O'reillys where I bought the part last february. It passed. According to the tester, ripple test was good. Might have it done again just to be sure. They tested my starter before said it passed ended up being bad. I found an article on the internet on...

Oh and another thing on the above subject. A few months ago the truck has started to whine. Starts at around 20 mph and increases with the engine speed. Not sure if its the tires which needs to be replaced soon. I've noticed that there are loud tires out there. I can't recall if they were loud...

Truck is 1998. 5 2500 Cummins, Quad cab. No upgrades.

Truck had the bad APPS symptoms. Would clear up for a few months after disconnecting the battery and then slowly up and down on the pedal. Lately that stopped working. Bought a filter(NAVONE N-25) for the inline noise, did not cure it. Bought a Timbo APPS, still had the symptoms. One thing I've...
