your problem might be dirty battery cables or a alternator going out.

 

so if u put a new aftermarket VB in, then it will have a new governor solonoid on it right?

 

Thanks wreedCTD,
The TPS reset cured my problem almost 5 months ago. I was telling zmock8 what I did to cure my problem but you are right, the dirty battery connections will cause our trucks to do some weird things.

 

...and if you do get it done under warrenty, and your milage is showing it is about time for tranny service, have them do it at the same time. My tranny service only cost me the cost of the filter since they did it at the same time as the TSB.

 

TSB#21-009-07, Mine was doing the same exact thing. This TSB fixed the problem. It was indeed the governor solenoid.

Hope this helps.

The 2nd gen autos have a whole different bag of problems. Incidently, your TPS reset did not fix the problem, just covered up the symptoms for a bit.

 

Well think what you want. The reset was done almost 6 months ago. Fact is, I have not had a problem since, so, (and I really don't mean to insult or upset anyone here) but it doesn't really matter what you think as long as I get the positive results I'm getting, But then on the other hand, if you are that presumptive to tell me what has or hasn't worked for me, then "if the shoe fits, then wear it".

 

"Think what you want" back at you. What you have on your 99 is a known issue that varies from truck to truck. It has several fixes, even DC has an official fix for it. The TPS reset is bandaid. Your problem is noise on the ECM to PCM line for the TC lockup. If you want a description of how it happens and how to fix it right PM me.

Some more info for you, the shuttle shift on the 05+ trucks is the result of an electronic controlled throttle pressure servo and a program that is not very good at adapting.

On a stock truck changing the governor solenoid and pressure sensor will usually fix it. If not, a couple Sonnax valves in the VB and a line pressure tweak will do the job.

On a truck that has a power adder its a little harder. The best fix so far is DTT's Shift Enhanser if the VB mods don't do it or cause problems with codes. Yes, too many VB mods and pressure tweaks will cause the newer trucks to throw codes and just generally not work right.

Yes mobill228, I presume to tell you what works and what doesn't cuz I been there, done that.

 

is the governor solonoid and pressure sensor part of the VB?? if so, then gettin say a whole new HTS VB would have these new on it right???

 

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on their procedures. Checking with them to make sure is the only sure way.
