I was typing on my laptop while my friend was driving my truck in the middle of the night on rt 80 in pa, I am lucky I was able to type at all, but point well taken.

I Hear Many People Quoting Fuel Economies That Sound, Impossible Unless They Are Towing Downhill With A Tail Wind The Whole Time. Any Truck With A Electronic Trip Computer That Calculates Fuel Economy And Also Has A Performance Chip, The Displayed Fuel Economy Will Be Incorrect. The...

Why is it a mess? I was just wondering if there was an electronic issue, or if maybe the trans pump pressure can be increased to hold the clutches tighter.

I tried trading in my 01 2500 with 130k miles, very clean truck with no damage and fully road worthy, they wouldnt take it because of milage: the galves value is used by dealers for trade-in pricing, and with milage, it was not worth much. I am willing to bet that if the truck you want to...

Most of the heat in an Automatic Trans comes from the Fluid friction in the torque convertor when it is unlocked. If you are towing uphill, you especially dont want to drive with the TC unlocked. What model Trans do you have, Maybe it has a TV cable and it needs adjusting.

By the way, cavitation is caused when liquids in a pump drop to a pressure below their vapor point and form gas bubbles. How does the LP cavitate during low demand times, when the pressure is at its highest??? This makes no sence!!! Where do you assume the air is coming from?

I used the improper terminology for the pump, I didnt know what the "vane" things were called. I saw mention of Air bubbles in the pump in one of your earlier posts, where does the air come from? Isnt air in the fuel system a major problem for a diesel??? If his pressure is dropping...

That is not the answer The trans slips with no load on flat ground with the chip, but with a 15,000 lb trailer up a steep hill floored in overdrive with the TC locked (no chip), there is no slippage. What is the edge chip doing to the trucks electronics that is affecting the trans??

I have taken a lift pump apart before and it is a type of gear pump, but the "teeth" of the gear-like mechanism can slide in and out from the center, maybe one of them is getting stuck occasionally. I would replace the LP, the injector pump electronics will overheat if it isnt supplied...

I have an '01 2500, Automatic and a Edge Juice Chip. The transmission slips (almost positive its the TC Lockup Clutch) when the Edge Performance chip is installed. It slips even when I am driving on flat land with no Load. When the Chip is removed, the trans will not slip at all...
