When I let off the gas I can feel the converter(Im assuming) unlock? But when driving under power I can feel it shift through 1-3 then what appears to be another gear but should be the converter locking...? And that is with the OD CANCEL button pushed and OD OFF.

Mine did the same, TPS was getting stuck. In otherwords, at times I would take off, and get the whine until I hit about 35mph, then shift to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd would do the same until I hit about 55, gears would usually change, if they didn't I would shift to N and most of the time it would downshift. I did get a TPS code. Replaced the TPS and shifts great.

The TPS was getting stuck about 1/2 open.

If the converter is the problem, that will fix it. It could also be the seals on the input shaft. Or something inside the trans. A teardown is the only real way to know. You could try just the converter, you may get lucky.

Where would be a decent place to get a converter? I dont want to spend a grand on just a converter..As I have a C6 that I can swap into it and put that money into finding a used GV.

the slip code,very,very rarely means the converter itself is at fault.99.9% of the time,it's something electrical causing the mechanical device to not function as it should.it's an electrically controlled trans after all.

My 628 code was (probably) due to the electrical connector at the solenoid pack being bad.

I say probably, as I had the transmission out and a new converter ready to go back in before someone else on here suggested I look at the connector. I replaced the connector and put the new reman converter in and it's been perfect since.

BUT, I did not have any of the issues you report. Mine just constantly set 628 on the highway, and then went into limp mode.

I got my reman converter from

Torque Converter Buy 700R4 4L60E E4OD A4LD E4OD AXOD

Torque Converter - total amount (Include s&h)
Part Number (Quoted): F55, Vehicle Information: 1995 fORD f250 7.5L/460 GAS E4OD 4X4 $173

edit: also the perfect time to put a Transgo shift kit in, I did a Tugger kit.

Thanks guys...I will check the electrical connector at the trans...if anyone know what the sound of an Electric RC car,that is the sound that I get and the truck vibrates as well. This is plain frustrating. I would take it to a local shop, but everyone around here are crooked....

Love to see you succeed with FTE alone, but...

You're in SoCal, home of the ultra car culture & can't find a decent/trustworth shop/tech to help you with an E4OD?

Out of curiosity, you asked any of the Cali chapter FTE brothers for advice? Just a suggestion.

Good luck & all, I really mean that by the way.

That is what my problem was most likely. New connector/harness can be bought online for $30ish, I didn't want to wait, got it from Napa for like $65 IIRC.
