Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Help...truck keeps stalling

[kboettcher]

I am having trouble with my truck stalling when I put it into Drive Or reverse. It only happens when it is hot, like if you run to town, go into a store, come back out and go to drive away, then you put it in gear and boom just dies. When it is cold in the mornings it never stalls, but I did notice the other morning that it surges about 50-100 rpm when I first start it. Anyone have any ideas? Is there a away to adjust the idle on these trucks..... mine seems to be around 750 rpm... thought that was a little low.

almost sounds like a problem with the torqueconverter locking up.

have you checked for codes also mine throws the 1740 wich i think is the tcc or od solenoid and the od and tcc work just fine
