I have had my truck in twice in the last two weeks. My problem is the transmission temp is getting up around 170-200 in town it cools off when on the interstate, boost is around 8-10 running 70 and empty. A couple of weeks ago it took a lot of pedal to get the truck to move along with some manual shifting. I took the batteries of for a day did the go pedal trick and it got some what better. Still felt like there was some resistance on it. .

Last week they told me it was the TC not locking up,today they said they found a relay that was not installed but laying in the fuse box under the hood and that they put it back in and that cured the problem. Now when I left the shop the RPM's were fine but the boost is still up as well as the temp,engine temp is fine. It still feels like the TC is not locking up. Any ides as to what is going on? By the way this all all started after the transmission down shifted when I passed a guy doing about 60 mph. the next time I stopped it took about 2400 rpm's to get the truck to move. Are my numbers off ?? :confused:
 
well how bout this what is everyone else with a 01. 5 with auto and 4:10 rear seeing as far as the boost running at 70 mph empty? What kind of transmission temp at that speed?

I know there has to be a Guru with some great input ... ... Come on guys!
 
transmission temps sound about right for in town stop and go driving. Mine get up there pretty quick so I shift to neutral at the lights. Boost??

Got a good buddy that lives out your way in Palestine... he is a hell of a bass fisherman

Ray Holcomb...

Good luck
 
Thanks Buff!



I made a trip to North East Canada three weeks ago and the transmission gage barely moved and that was with a loaded truck with a big utility trailer and three guys worth of equipment . Hummm Palestine , that would be a hop skip and a very very small jump from my place . takes just a minute or two to get there from my place,it has some decent duck hunting on it as well. Thanks again for the info!
