I have a major problem with my truck. It started last night I came to a coast and the go back on the throttle and at about 15 mph it felt like the TC locked up and lugged the engine. I shifted to neutral and it quit then I went back to drive and it had no problem. And I drove on home. Today on my way to work I came to a stop after getting lunch and it did it again but this time after the going to neutral and back to drive it did it again about 6 more times till I got to work the last time it killed the engine. So I stuck it into 4 LO and let it idle to a spot. About 30 minuets later I got back in it and went for a spin with no trouble. Any ideas? The trans is completely stock at least to the best of my knowledge. I was saving for a built trans may be getting it a little sooner tan I thought

if there is too much play in the overdrive unit, the clutches and converter can apply itself, mine used to do it and since i rebuilt the whole tranny and that unit its been fine.JMO

Sounds about right. You had so much fun getting there.

 

Huh?

Suspect if drop pan, you will find unpleasant news. And you will have to go with planned repairs quicker than hoped.

 

I called dave today He said it was most likely The TC but said to pull the relay and see if its doing it still. Ill let you guys know.

It had no trouble going to work today I called Dave Goerend and he said to remove the relay and see if that helps well i have had no problems today. However tonight on the way home i stuck the relay back in just to see what happened. It ran fine so i pulled over and pulled it out when i did the relay was warm not hot but not cold like the others in there. I have also noticed that with the relay out i cant go into 1st gear manually and it seems like my converter is slipping more than ever but i think that's because its trying to start in 2nd when im in first or second or in third if im in drive. any thoughts on what else i might try to me it seems like a classic symptom of having a problem but it not reveling itself when you need it to.
