Any ideas what would make my rpm's start reading higher. The clutch is not slipping. The alternator charge gauge is also reading higher. Might the two be intertwined? The rpm's were reading around 1700 at 60 mph and now are reading a tad over 2000. Voltage gauge is reading around 15 volts or...

Is this still available? Auto or standard?

Put it in the shop. The TC and two solenoids were bad.

Great. I'll keep it then. Always good to have a spare. I'm afraid after several overheating episodes that the transmisssion in my 98.5 may not last long.

It was overly hot. Exactly how hot I can't say because as you have said, I have no gauge and can't put one on until I get back home. I have no desire to throw parts at it, exactly the opposite. That's why I came here to try and learn something. Driver error quite likely compounded the issue. We...

It was hot. No doubt about that. And as I said, not the first time. I had hoped changing the thermosta and water pump would have helped and it did with the engine temps. New fan clutch, radiator, aircooler, and intercooler. Had to replace all that after an unplanned custom body job. She was in...

Ok, been studying some and now see that lockup occurs as engine and transmission rpm become about the same. Couple of questions. Can and does lockup occur in lower gears? What effect does manually locking up with a lock up switch at lower gears have on the TC and transmission? At what point is...

New thermostat and water pump. When it overheated in the past, both the engine and radiator overheated. This time it was only the trans.

Oilfield, but don't tell my momma, she thinks I'm a piano player in cathouse.

Don't know off hand and kinda hard for me to get out to look at it for a while. Can't quite see it from here in Saudi. :)

I bought a 96 4x4 crew cab w/ V10 for body parts after putting a few unintentional custom wrinkles in my 98. The only thing wrong with the V10 was the transfer case. Is the transmission at all compatible to the cummins 5.9 or not? What about any of the other drive train companents? I hate to...

Not sure if she was in 4 high or 4 low, but she was in 4wd. I had told her to use 4 low, but she may have been in 4 high.

I have no temp gauge on the transmission, only the idiot warning. Overheated on a gravel road and low speed. I wasn't driving so can't tell you the exact speed, but certainly under 35 mph and likely under 25. This has happened before and the engine and transmission both overheated. This time the...

Excuse my ignorance on this one, but please tell me more about the mystery switch. The truck overheats on short but steep grades at low speed, pulling an 18 ft. trailer with 5 round bales. 5000 lb. load including the trailer, max.

It was hunting in and out of lock up in the past until I put a shielded wire on the alternator. I hadn't noticed it any after that, however, this is the only automatic I've driven in many years (I prefer a standard) and may just not be realizing it's not staying locked up. I do switch off the...

The transmission on my 98/5 overheats when ever I try to pull anything with it. Doesn't even have to be much of a load. Does ok when empty. I have already changed the water pump and thermostat. New cooler and radiator also. Any ideas? I like the truck and want to keep it, but If I can't tow...
