Re: tranny problem

Hold the truck at 55mph, gently push the brake (just enough to turn on the lights but not enough to actually apply brake). That will kick off the converter, note the tach reading, let off the brake, the tach should drop 3-400 rpm. that's the TCC engaging. If it doeen't, that's bad, next you'll need a scanner to determine if it's getting the signal, if it is, then it's the solenoid in the trans or a trans/converter problem.

Will this still be the same on one of the newer fully electronic tranny's?

Re: tranny problem

They all work the same. Brake shuts off TCC. ECM/PCM commands it on.

Only odd one are early units, particularly diesels, where the TCC may be hard wired to 3th gear or thru governer pressure.
